Fantastic stay at the Hotel Buena Vista. Katherine behind the desk was a delight to deal with. We got an affordable deal for Pioneer Day in Paso just minutes down the freeway in a very clean and spacious room, conveniently located right near the freeway. It was even nice and quiet in the morning as we checked out. Would recommend.
