I feel like I should be a lot more help on this question, since I'm
currently sitting in a hotel room in El Paso. But, I'm not!
I live in Tucson and work for the railroad. Bring a train from Tucson
and spend the night in a hotel, then I take another train home.
UTEP is on the westside of "downtown". I'm in a Laquinta Inn off of Mesa St.,
right off of I-10. UTEP is about 7 minutes east of here on I-10.
Mesa St. is Exit 11 on I-10.
Just for your info...within very short walking distance of where I'm currently
sitting...........
Cracker Barrel restaraunt (I can spit into their parking lot)
Wal-Mart
Golden Corral (buffet style restaraunt) 5min walk
Famous Daves ( bbq decent food and a bar)
Chilis
Fuddruckers
Wendys
Diamond Shamrock (gas station/convenient store)
Pei Wei (really good asian food)
Now given all you may,or may not, have heard about El Paso
this is a really decent, and I feel, safe part of town. Can't speak for any
other part of town.
other hotels at this exit are...
LaQuinta Inn (where I stay)
LaQuinta Inn & Suites (across Mesa St)
Travellodge (We used to stay there...like it better here @LaQuinta)
EconoLodge Inn and Suites (share a parking lot)
Comfort Suites
Motel 6
Days Inn
Red Roof Inn
Springhill Suites by Marriott
the very best I can tell you is a lot of these hotels addresses are not "MesaSt"
if your interested, when making reservations or inquiries, these will be listed as
LaQuinta"west" and so on.
I tell you all this because it is only what I know
the stadium is on the westside of El Paso and so am I.
hope all of this was helpful.
