Escape to Paradise: Chase Suite Hotel El Paso's Luxurious Oasis
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Chase Suite Hotel El Paso, a.k.a. "Escape to Paradise," and let me tell you, I'm ready to escape! I got my laptop, my notepad (yes, I still use one), and a serious caffeine addiction – let's get this review rolling!
First Impressions: Arrival & the "Oh, HELLO!" Factor
Okay, so I’m not gonna lie. After a long drive across the desert (El Paso, you beautiful, dusty thing!), the first thing I needed was a serious dose of "ahhhh." And the Chase Suite, bless its heart, delivers. The exterior is neat, well-maintained. Check-in? Smooth as silk. Seriously, like a ninja gliding through a field of cucumbers. The desk staff were genuinely friendly (not the fake kind you get sometimes). Express check-in is available and let me tell you, after that drive? Amazing. They even had someone to help with the luggage. A nice, big lobby, nice and clean. A good start.
The Room: My Personal Sanctuary (And Possible Future Apartment?)
Okay, this is where the "suite" part kicks in. My room? (Room 412, for those wanting to stalk – kidding… mostly). It was HUGE. Like, I could've held a small rave. Lots of space – a separate living area with a comfy sofa (that I almost napped on immediately), a desk perfect for pretending I was a productive human, and a seriously comfy king-sized bed. Blackout curtains? Yes please! Because, let's be real, I'm a vampire in disguise. The air conditioning was a godsend, keeping me cool and collected, and the free Wi-Fi? Bless. It even worked, which is a miracle in itself in some hotels.
They have all the basics:
- Air Conditioning: Absolutely necessary in El Paso, and it worked like a charm.
- Alarm Clock: Yep. Though, honestly, with the blackout curtains, I needed multiple to wake up.
- Bathrobes: Oh, yeah. Major points for the bathrobes. Luxurious, fluffy, and perfect for lounging.
- Bathroom Phone: I didn’t need it, but it’s a touch of class.
- Bathtub: Yes! A real bathtub. Needed a soak after the drive.
- Blackout Curtains: Best invention ever.
- Carpeting: Clean and well-maintained.
- Closet: Plenty of space for all my (mostly unnecessary) clothes.

- Wake-up Service: Didn't need it, but nice to have.
- Wi-Fi; Free: Works great!
- Window That Opens: For fresh air and feeling connected to the outside world, a great touch.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag-ish and Worthy of Note
The website says they have accessible rooms, which is great. I didn't specifically need these, so I can't vouch personally, but it's good that they’re listed. Features are elevator and some rooms should be wheelchair accessible. However, I did not see anywhere that they have a ramp.
Amenities: The Stuff That Makes You Go "Ooh!"
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking:
- Breakfast [Buffet]: Ah, yes, the most important meal of the day. The buffet was pretty standard - eggs, bacon, pastries, the works. Nothing mind-blowing, but decent.
- Breakfast Service: Yes, service was available, and the staff was nice.
- Coffee/Tea in Restaurant, Breakfast takeaway service: Fueling the work!
- Snack Bar: Great for grabbing a quick bite.
Ways to Relax/De-stress (or, the part where I almost never left the hotel):
- Swimming Pool [Outdoor]: Ah, the pool! It was seriously tempting, especially with that view. They call it a pool with a view, and it did not disappoint.
- Fitness Center: I'm not that kind of reviewer.
- Spa/sauna: I didn't get a chance to go to the spa, but it's definitely on my list for next time!
Services and Conveniences:
- Free Car Parking: Always a bonus.
- Laundry service: Useful if you're staying long.
- Luggage Storage: For packing and unpacking.

- Concierge: Helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area.
Cleanliness and Safety: Always a Priority (Especially These Days!)
Okay, this is where the Chase Suite really shines. They’re clearly taking COVID safety seriously. I saw evidence of sanitizing everywhere.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good to hear!

- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere you look.
- Hygiene certification: Nice to see!
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Check!
- Safe dining setup: Felt very comfortable in the breakfast area.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: They seemed to know their stuff.
Things to Do in El Paso & Around the Hotel
El Paso has a lot to offer, and the hotel is a good base for exploring. I wasn't able to visit any of the nearby attractions, but the front desk can point you in the right direction. They can arrange airport transfers as well.
The Quirks, the Quibbles, and the Honest Truth
Look, no hotel is perfect. Here's what I noticed:
- Minor Imperfection:
- No Pets Allowed: Boo!
- No Doctor/nurse on call: Which is a bit of a bummer.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Paradise?
Absolutely! The Chase Suite Hotel El Paso is a solid choice. It's comfortable, clean, well-equipped, and the staff is genuinely friendly. It's perfect for business travelers, families, or anyone looking for a relaxing stay in El Paso.
My Score: 4.5 out of 5 stars. (Would be 5 if they had a pet-friendly option and doctor on call!)

The Chase Suite Saga: A Tale of Tex-Mex, Mild Panic, and Surprisingly Good Coffee (Mostly)
Day 1: Arrival – El Paso Dreams and Parking Lot Blues
- 1:00 PM - Arrival (Allegedly): Landed. Officially in El Paso. Sun already beating down like it owes me money. The airport? Surprisingly charming. And then… the rental car. Okay, let’s just say my negotiation skills with the poor Enterprise fellow were… rusty. Ended up with a car that looks like it's seen more seasons than I have. Which isn’t saying much.
- 2:00 PM - Chase Suite Hotel Check-In: The "Suite" Surprise: Pulled into the Chase Suite. First impression? Kinda sprawling. The exterior looks… familiar. Which I guess is a good thing? Check-in was a breeze. Friendly staff. Got my key, headed for the "suite"… and immediately felt a pang of mild disappointment. It's a suite, alright. More like a generously sized room with a slightly separated living area. But hey, it has a kitchenette! Disaster averted.
- 2:30 PM - The Great Food/Grocery Quest: Okay, this is where things got a little off the rails. I assumed, wrongly, that I could just wander and find a grocery store. NOPE. Turns out, El Paso is not a city of accidental grocery store discoveries. Spent a solid hour, fueled by growing hunger pangs and questionable directions from Google Maps, driving around in circles. Finally, FINALLY, found a Walmart. Bought way too many snacks. Regreted the bag of oranges since the heat was melting my skin.
- 4:00 PM - Settling In… and the Wi-Fi War: Unpacked and tried to connect to the hotel Wi-Fi. This was an ordeal. Keep in mind, I rely on the internet like oxygen, I have a strong emotional attachment to the ability to surf the web. The signal was weaker than my grandma's handshake. Spent a frustrating 30 minutes battling it. Eventually, I surrendered, resolved to accept slow streaming and bad internet.
- 6:00 PM – Dinner at L&J Cafe: A Tex-Mex Revelation (and a Nap): Decided to be adventurous. Headed to L&J Cafe, a local favorite. Walked in, the place was packed, a symphony of chatter and sizzling fajitas. The food! Oh, the food! The Enchiladas!! Melting cheese, perfect spice, all washed down with an ice-cold margarita. Pure bliss. So much bliss that I think I had a small nap on my way back to the hotel.
- 8:00 PM - Evening Relaxation (Attempted): Watched some TV, finally got the Wi-Fi (sort of) working, and crashed. Exhausted from the travel, the heat, and the sheer effort of existing. Room temperature was a little warmer than I liked, but I was too tired to argue with the AC.
- 10:00 PM - Good Night! (Mostly): Slept like a log.
Day 2: Exploring the City… And Dealing with a Defective Toilet
- 7:00 AM - Sunrise Wake-Up and Coffee Euphoria: Woke up, and the world felt a little less daunting. Made coffee in the kitchenette. The coffee maker was… quirky, to say the least. It sputters and gurgles but eventually, I had a cup of hot coffee and my day was going to be good.
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast… or the Lack Thereof: The hotel offered breakfast. But, oh boy, that was a lie. It was a small selection of packaged things and bland toast. It really did ruin my mood for a couple of hours .
- 9:00 AM – The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema : A Movie Marathon: Took the advice of every local I could find: go see a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. I love taking some time to be antisocial and take a movie in. They have food, drink, great service, and the movies were fantastic.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch… and a Plumbing Crisis: Returned to the suite, starving. Made myself a quick sandwich. Then, disaster struck. The toilet. Would. Not. Flush. Panic briefly flared. Called the front desk, who were, bless their hearts, helpful. The maintenance guy arrived, looked at it with a mix of resignation and humor, and fixed it in record time. Crisis averted.
- 2:00 PM - Scenic Drive… and the Heat's Revenge: Decided to take a scenic drive. Drove around the mountains, and felt cool breezes. Pretty. But the car AC was… not doing its job. By the time i returned I was a sweaty mess.
- 4:00 PM - Poolside… and Mosquitoes: Needed some serious R&R, so headed to the hotel pool. The pool was pretty, but there was a swarm of mosquitos. Got eaten alive. Retreat.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner at… Somewhere Else: After my pool retreat disaster, I ate dinner somewhere different. This time, found a great little pizza parlor.
- 7:30 PM – Evening Relaxation, Take 2: Finally managed to relax. Watched TV. Wrote in my journal. Contemplated the meaning of life. Or maybe I just watched a reality show and fell asleep. Details are hazy.
- 10:00 PM - Bedtime:
Day 3: Departure – El Paso, You Weirdly Grew On Me
- 7:00 AM - Coffee, Again: Coffee. Needed it.
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast… Attempt 2: Failed, again. Went to a different store for breakfast.
- 9:00 AM - Check-Out and Departure: Check-out was smooth. Said goodbye to the Chase Suite.
- 10:00 AM - Flight… Goodbye: Took off.
Final Thoughts (and Inevitable Rambles):
The Chase Suite Hotel El Paso? It was… an experience. The room wasn't perfect. The Wi-Fi fought me. The breakfast? Don't even get me started. But El Paso? El Paso was unexpectedly charming. The food was amazing. The sun felt alive. The drive-in movie theater was a win. I would definitely go back to El Paso.
So, yeah. There you have it. My messy, imperfect, stream-of-consciousness travel log. Hope you got a good laugh and maybe, just maybe, learned something about the joys and pitfalls of hotel living. And if you ever find yourself in El Paso? Go to L&J Cafe. Trust me. You won't regret it.

So, uh, What *is* this thing, anyway?
Honestly? I'm not entirely sure *what* this is supposed to be. It’s supposed to be a FAQ, I guess. Like, frequently asked questions? By whom? Well, *I* have questions, and I figure you might too. So, here we are. Think of it as my brain barfing up thoughts onto the internet. Warning: there will be tangents. Lots and lots of tangents. Buckle up.
Why are you doing this? Are you, like, trying to be some kind of internet guru?
Guru?! HA! If I were a guru, I’d be living on a beach sipping piña coladas, not hunched over a keyboard trying to figure out how to make a website work. No, seriously, I’m not a guru. More like a… a semi-functioning human who overthinks *everything*. I’m doing this because… well, I have a lot of thoughts bouncing around in this head, and they need a place to land. Plus, sometimes, when I actually *write* things down, they make a little more sense. Sometimes. Don’t hold your breath. And no, I'm not trying to sell you anything, except maybe a good story!
Do you have any actual qualifications? I looked at the header and it mentioned qualifications...
Okay, let's get this out of the way. My "qualifications?" Well, I can type. I can (usually) spell. I have a degree in... well, let's just say it's not directly related to, like, being an internet expert. So, yeah, you're probably better off listening to someone with ACTUAL expertise. But look, the point isn't expertise, it's, you know, relatability? Or something. At least I am not making up facts, you can ask, but the answer might not be satisfying.
Are you always this… opinionated?
Yep. Sadly. I've always been opinionated, probably since the day I was born. My parents used to say I had a "spirited" nature, which is code for "stubborn as a mule." It’s a curse, really. I see something, I think something, and then, BAM, I have to tell *someone* about it. So, yes, buckle up. If you disagree with me, that's fine. Seriously. Just… don't expect me to change my mind easily. Or at all. That's probably your challenge. Good luck with that.
What's your writing process like?
"Process"? Heh. That's a strong word. It's less a process and more like… a disorganized explosion. I usually start with a vague idea, like, "Hey, let's talk about… *something*." Then I flail around, stare at a blank screen, drink way too much coffee, and then BAM! A sentence emerges. Then another. Then fifteen more before I realize I've completely gone off on a tangent about the existential dread of unread emails. Rinse and repeat. Edit? What's edit? Honestly, I just blast through it, hoping for the best. It's messy. It's chaotic. It's pure, unadulterated me.
What kind of topics do you usually talk about?
Oh, this is the fun part! Everything and nothing. I have a hard time narrowing it down. Life, relationships, the absurd horrors of the internet age, my questionable fashion choices, my crippling anxiety about paying the bills, books, movies, cats, and probably what I had for breakfast. It’s all fair game. If it crosses my mind, it's going in there, trust me. So, expect the unexpected. Prepare yourself for some emotional whiplash. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Is it really that hard to get started?
Getting started? Oh, goodness, yeah. I've wanted to write for years. I'd sit there, staring at the screen, and the words just... wouldn't come. I'd think, "Oh, I need a great introduction!" "My prose should be perfect!" "This MUST be brilliant!" And all of that perfectionism? A complete killer. I wasted hours, *days*, just *thinking* about writing. But, if I could offer any advice: just. start. Even if it's garbage. Just get something down on the page. You can edit later. You can always edit later. Believe me, it's a lot easier to edit something that exists than to stare at a blank screen wishing for the perfect words. That's a pit of despair, let me tell you.
What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you? (You don't have to answer, I just thought I'd ask!)
Whoa there, buddy. Deep question. And I *will* answer! (Eventually). Let me just... *ponder*. Okay, fine. I guess the time I accidentally set my kitchen on fire trying to make toast. I was, like, 19, and had just moved into my first apartment. I wasn't thinking, so I put the toaster on the counter, and when I went to grab my tea, I forgot about the toaster and the bread inside. The toast was burning, I was distracted, and BAM, smoke everywhere! The smoke alarm went off, neighbors were banging on my door. The fire department showed up. The whole thing was, MORTIFYING. But, in the grand scheme of things? Not *that* bad, really. Still gives my chest a little clench when I think about it, though. And, yes, I am still scared of toasters.
Do you ever get writer's block?
Oh, honey, does the sun rise in the east? Writer's block? It's my constant companion. It’s that little gremlin in the back of my brain whispering, "You're not good enough. No one cares what you think." I wish I had a magic cure. Sometimes, just writing *anything* helps, even if it's just a list of random words or a rantCity Stay Finder
