Hampton Inn & Suites El Paso West
The top-rated stay, 14 km from the slides
About this hotel
At 9.1 from 107 reviews, this Borderland property holds the highest rating among the hotels tracked for this trip, built on a fitness room, hot tub, and indoor swimming pool alongside a free airport shuttle service that removes the need for a rental car for fly-in families. A daily buffet breakfast with warm dishes and fresh pastries covers the morning before the 14 km drive out to Wet N' Wild Waterworld, and a business area and child-friendly buffet option round out the family-and-work balance. It sits 29 km from El Paso International Airport, with the shuttle bridging that gap, and Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino 11 km away for an evening out. The strongest fact: the free airport shuttle paired with the top review score on this list, a rare combination for families flying in without a car.

Our take
This suits a fly-in family who wants a free airport shuttle and doesn't want to rent a car, backed by the highest review score among these 18 properties, and who values an indoor pool over a resort-scale water feature. Families driving their own vehicle and prioritising walking distance to the park should compare against Best Western Anthony/West El Paso instead, which sits far closer to Wet N' Wild Waterworld itself.
- ✓Book the free airport shuttle in advance if flying in without a rental car; it covers the 29 km from El Paso International Airport.
- ✓Reserve early given the 9.1 rating from 107 reviews, the highest score among these hotels for this trip.
- ✓Use the indoor pool and hot tub on the evening you arrive, before the 14 km drive out to Wet N' Wild Waterworld the next day.

Why guests love itThe rating here isn't a fluke: the free airport shuttle alone saves a fly-in family the cost and hassle of a rental car, and the indoor pool and hot tub give a genuine reason to stay in on the evening you land rather than rushing straight to Wet N' Wild Waterworld. At 14 km out it's not the closest option, but for a family without a car it's the most practical one on this list, and the 9.1 score reflects real, repeated guest satisfaction rather than a one-off good week.
