Great option if you need to stay near the border on the USA side. Although it's only about 5-7 minutes to the outlets, it take another 10-15 minutes to walk through the entire mall so probably about 20 minutes to the border. As an FYI, the private bathroom is yours but it's not en suite so you do have to walk outside your room to get there which I wasn't expecting but overall it was a great place to stay. comfortable bed and fan in room helped a lot.
