My company and I are going on a video shoot in about three weeks in El Paso, Texas. During scouting, we stayed at the Camino Real in downtown El Paso. That place would have inspired a Pit rant, but one of the problems was that internet service was always down.
So we gotta stay someplace else… reliable internet access is a must… cost is really not an object; being in a good part of town nearish to Fort Bliss AFB is.
I trust in the dope. I’d be immensely grateful for the opinions of any dopers who live in, or have recently visited, El Paso, and would know of a place that would suit our needs.
The airport has both a Hilton and a Radisson. I think I stayed at the Hilton and found it to be good. Most airport hotels are set up for internet.
There is also the Marriott, which is located just outside of the airport. Have no idea what their internet connections are like, but the catering is fabulous.
As far as keeping close to Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Air Field, the Marriott and the ones mentioned by Chefguy are your best options.
Hmmm!
