Garner Hotel Albuquerque Airport by IHG

8/10 Good
"Positive: -Comfy bed -Clean room, modern -Nice bathroom: shower pressure, bath products, etc. -24 hour coffee in the lobby (no coffee maker in the rooms) and citrus water (cucumber, lemon, etc.) Negative: -LOUD doors, because they're heavy, you hear every slam -DARK rooms, some nightstand lighting but no overhead lighting so very dark. Additionally, the lighting in the bathroom/sink area is a terrible, dark fluorescent, not flattering -No option for fan only (it's either AC or heat) so if you would like to sleep with a fan for white noise or for staying cool, not going to happen -Pets are allowed, so you might hear some dog barks"

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at this charming hotel! The staff was incredibly pleasant and welcoming—everyone we encountered was so friendly and nice. The location was perfect, within walking distance of Old Town and several great restaurants - Ramonas and Church Street Cafe are the best! One of the highlights of our stay was being able to see the hot-air balloons flying over the area. It was such a beautiful and memorable experience! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a charming place with a great location and wonderful staff."

10/10 Excellent
"Well, it’s worn down in some areas, but you could see that they were working on making improvements . It’s located in between a lot of commercial businesses . The room was small for four adults and ice maker only on the first floor, but it was perfect location for the Albuquerque balloon fiesta. We were able to see the balloons right out the hotel front doors. The staff was super friendly including when they were super busy and helpful. Would totally stay there again."
