Location: 5-10 min walk to Old Town. 5 to the Bio park. One decent local restaurant nearby, a McDonald next door. Safe area.
Facilities: A little older, decent condition. Bed is very comfortable, clean bathroom. An indoor pool. Sanitizing spray or cleaning product is a little strong.
Breakfast: Simple but generous.
Staff: Efficient.

Would come back again.

I needed a safe place to stay, with a comfortable bed, for a short night while driving through. The bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. If you didn’t look too close, the room was pretty good too. If you are a details person then you would have noticed that the grout in bathroom tile was actually a light gray but was black because it needed to be cleaned better. There was a dead cockroach under the sink- but better than finding it in the bed and alive, right?
Seriously, I’ve found it quite difficult to choose a hotel in Albuquerque because some places really don’t feel safe and I worry about my car. That was #1 for me. This has a small, walled lot, and CCTV covering all angles. Bed was comfy, sheets were clean, towels were clean- I only needed a place to crash a quick 8 hours then back on the road. If you’re counting on breakfast, there a McDonald’s next door. They had Cheerios and Raisin Bran for cereal selection, the classic hotel waffles (not my thing), some omelette looking eggs (no way I was trying those), and sausage links- my husband said they’d been sitting too long and they tasted burnt. They also had prepackaged sugary option like Otis Spunkmeyer muffins. I think they have tried really hard to make it the best it can be, and it was fine for what I needed- especially at the price. For such a short stay I just couldn’t justify a hotel twice the price. I’ve stayed in way worse- they tried here and I appreciate that.

A great price for 2 rooms. For what we got, it was a good value. High points: clean and comfortable beds, bamboo floors, refreshing pool.

Low points: ice machine did not work, smoke detector went off after both showers, tile work is in rough shade.

We had to leave before breakfast, so I don't know how it was.

All in all, I would stay here again to get a great price.

I have stayed at this hotel probably 10-12 times over the years and have recommended it to family and friends. It was my go-to place to go in Albuquerque: it was cheap, it was in Old Town, and it was well maintained. Based on my most recent stay, I will not be returning. My room was filthy (long hair all over the floor, cockroach....pieces in several corners of the bathroom, the fridge smelled rank), the TV wall mount was missing at least one screw causing the TV to lean about 20 degrees, and the room had an unpleasant chemical smell on entering. I do not expect a lot from a cheap motel as far as amenities, but I do expect cleanliness, and that room was in no shape to be offered to guests. I have never checked for bedbugs in a hotel room before (thankfully, there were none that I could find). I had booked a non-refundable return stay a few days later and I ate the cost rather than stay here another day. On the bright side, the young woman at the front desk was kind, but that is about the only positive I can think of for a hotel that will no longer be getting my business.

Noisy street but close to the Old Town. Wall is too thin. Could hear someone next door snoring. Someone played music at midnight. Staff said they would check but nothing was done. Trash was found around the stairs and railings at the balcony. Bathroom side wall was nothing more than a piece of plastic. Though they have kept the original hardwood floor in the room. They also use real plate and silverware for breakfast.

Helpful staff, clean rooms, live plants in planters around lobby entry were a cheerful touch of joy. Only downside was it got a bit noisy and not more sound-proofed like other lodging can be. But overall I’d definitely stay here again in future.

Pool and hot tub inoperable, door locked. Filthy hardwood floors with ants, red and black microscopic bugs around the bed and throughout the room. Floors lightly swepted but needed deep mopping. After being bitten several times on first night, at breakfast, I showed evidence of ants, red and black bugs on a napkin. Assured Me that room was gonna be cleaned, it wasn't done by nighttime. I wet a towel and washed the entire floors three times. Ants, bugs, contact lens and dental floss container was found.
One lady behind on replenishment of hot foods. Found her in the next room on her cell phone talking to a man.
Excuse me. the hot foods are empty, she stood up walked towards me, not happy and did a CURTSY towards me as to disrespect waiting guests who gasped when she did that gesture.

I got suckered into booking at this motel from some positive reviews…..turned out to be our worst experience ever. The first room had a terrible chemical smell like something was burning and it actually hurt my lungs and had me coughing after only a few minutes in there. The clerk did get us another room but halfway through the night we found out that the ceiling was leaking when we went in to use the bathroom and the floor was wet and we were dripped on. Needless to say we didn’t bother showering in the morning. I don’t know what is going on there that things weren’t in a safe and proper order. Never again!!

The overall property was OK though the property was not overly clean, except the room itself was fine. My biggest warning to any future guests: the walls are paper thin. Be sure to get any unit w/o someone next door. The \"guest\" next to my unit had their TV on ALL night and were very noisy at times. There was an unused \"pass through door\" between our units which amplified the noise. So I hardly was able to sleep the entire night. And when I did fall asleep, I woke up to their TV dialogue as if they were in my unit. I didn't complain and just suffered until morning.
