I stayed at the Big Chile because of the close proximity to the bike paths. Las Cruces has some nice paved bike paths and like the rest of New Mexico only gets 310 days of sunshine each year.

This hotel was fine for an overnight stay while on the road. This older property has been given a second chance by a friendly and caring staff. Room was clean, a/c worked, there’s coffee in the lobby in the morning, and staff are super friendly. Parking lot is secured by a gate after 10pm. Fine with me! I would definitely stay here again.

The room was dirty... couldn't walk on floor without shoes. The amenities were old. The parking was behind a gate, but the front desk made a point to tell me if we came in after 10:00, we could just push it open. We slept on top of the covers...

My favorite part about this property was how safe it was. Checking in you can see all the cameras were working and monitoring the building. There was also security walking around even when I was leaving at 5 am. Lastly they have a gate to close in the guest cars which was a huge relief! The patio is also very cute with a pool, grills and a gondola with chairs to just sit and enjoy.
