Liked: Cleanliness
Our room was very nice and clean, however hallway and elevator needed cleaning. They kept running out of food and didn’t replenish even though we came down early enough to eat and we were there there 3 days at the breakfast buffet.
Needs some improvements for sure. The property outside was not very clean. There was trash all over the place. The room was clean though and the staff was friendly. However, the shower was clogged and in need of some drano. If on the bottom floor just hope there isn’t someone loud above.

Staff didn’t acknowledge us when we came in each day. We asked questions about transportation to Ballon Fiesta and desk personnel said “I don’t know”. Never offered to check or ask anyone else. The rooms weren’t serviced, which would have been fine if we’d been given a heads up!
Location was very convenient and the breakfast was good with lots of choices.

Great place to stay and good breakfast. I would stay again.
This is an older property that appears to be in the process of being updated. It was fine for a place to sleep with some confusing light controls and alarm clock. Acceptable breakfast is included. The accessible room had a strange room configuration with the sink outside the bathroom, presumably to allow a wheelchair to fit into the toilet/shower area. The shower, however, is not a roll-in and requires stepping over the bathtub. Location is convenient to freeway and a couple of eating places within a short walk.
I went to Albuquerque for a family event and i always love staying here. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is clean and very comfortable. I do not always use the gym but when i do im always satisfied with the cleanliness of it. I feel like my overall stay is always amazing.
