My stay was great. Everything was within walking distance. No need to drive your vehicle anywhere. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were treated well and respectfully. They welcomed our furry little friend that we have with us our puppy. I would gladly come back and stay here again rooms were clean and tidy. And they also have the new HD TV channels which was great. It kept my son entertained.

Beds and blankets were clean and comfortable. Hotel is older which is ok, but bathroom ceiling mold was coming through the paint. Otherwise it was pretty clean. Towels were clean, but well used. Overall for the price it was fine. Im glad the beds were comfy and the woman who checked us in was super nice and helped us find dinner across the street. The neighbors were very loud during the night which was unfortunate but not a fault of the hotel itself.

My first choice! Amazing as always. The first place I head to when I get to Albuquerque. It's Quiet, clean, gated, patroled, has laundry facilities, great parking and is centrally located near the freeway for easy access to anywhere you want to go. The staff is polite, friendly and professional. The rooms have strong wi-fi signal with big flat screen TV's. I bring a HDMI cord and my PS4 to Stream movies when I get off work.There are many places to stay in the city but few that remember your name when you return. It's become a second home.
