There's free breakfast, not just continental, but warm foods too.
Free shuttle to and from the airport, and within a couple mile radius if you don't rent a car and need to get someplace.
The rates are decent, there are some restaurant options nearby, and the front desk staff is very nice.
Also, one or two nights a week the manager has a happy hour special. Free Mexican food snacking, which can double as dinner!
The rooms are spacious, pretty standard furnishings. It must cater more to business travelers than actual tourists.
The beds are comfortable, but beware if you are sensitive to scented laundry detergent. I came back to my room the second day and it reeked of something flowery. I gave it some time thinking it would go away, but when I sat on the bed I realized it was the sheets and blankets. Called housekeeping, they said it was the detergent they used. Strange, since it hadn't smelled the night before, had they not changed the sheets then? But the manager came up and verified it was the detergent. Housekeeping came up, changed the linens again and this time it didn't smell. Apparently they keep a batch of unscented detergent linens somewhere.
They had a raindrop shower head which I loved, pretty high end for this type of hotel. But the bath towels were thin and not so soft. That's to be expected though in a non-4 star.
If you are brave enough to wander over to Juarez, it's a very close drive to the border and is actually even walkable from the hotel
