B
Hotels.com has the property rated at 7.2. Seriously??? This hotel was a far cry from a good hotel. In fairness, the mattress was fantastic, but after that, there's really nothing that was even adequate. Oh, there was man who checked me out and he was very nice. But I'm really struggling to find anything positive to say about this place. A 7.2 hotel rating is not even close.
Sherri
Great place to stay and it seemed cleaned and spacious!
GERARDO

The bed was not stable at all. Every time one of us got up to go to the restroom or something the bed moved like an uneven leg or something and it slid. Super unsafe if you have mobility issues. It was a 1 night stay for us as we were only passing through so we didn't try any amenities.
BLENY
Me gustó limpieza lo malo es que no dan el desayuno me gustó que se pudiera dar los 60 dólares en efectivo y el siguiente día me lo devolvieran de todo lo demás todo bien gracias a Dios
Crystal
The rooms were clean staff can is good ( owner is bit of a stickler eventually came around) over all nice place to stay.
Kyle
The front desk staff was very helpful.
Jacci
This was a cute, safe quiet place! Staff was friendly and I couldn’t have asked for more on my overnight stay with my pup!
Ricky
It was great and I just love the carpets
Barry
Liked the enclosed parking.

People that give a budget hotel a low rating are just wrong.
This isn’t the Ritz Carlton so for what it is it is a five star review because it is excellently clean very comfortable and everyone was very friendly. On amenities, you have everything you need in the room and good Wi-Fi. And I felt secure on the property. They have a security guard and a gate. I would absolutely stay here again.

Scott
Great place for a basic room. No frills, but clean.
Beth
it was a clean place to get a night sleep when traveling cheaply.
Craig
No tv remote but staff provided one without too much hassle. Secure parking but a little inconvenient due to having one way driving flow.
Herbert
Good location with fast food withing walking distance. Property is kept up nicely, much better than the vast majority of hotels in this price range. Room was clean and everything orderly on site. Close to Interstate but not too noisy. Desk is operated 24/7.
Michael
Staff was helpful.
Noelle
Check in was a breeze. Room smelled and looked clean until a couple hours of being in the room in the dark and I noticed something crawling next to me! I lay on top of the covers for this reason and it saved me from being eaten alive. I sat up switched on the light, grabbed my Google tool identify it. Sure enough it's a bed bug. In less than 10 minutes we packed our things back into the car and checked out. As I checked out, I brought the fully grown bed bug alive in the bottom of a clear plastic cup to the person on duty. He realized it was still alive and kept it to put on his managers desk. I have received a full refund. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Strongly recommended against.
Ryan
The pet area was a bit icky.

William
It was clean safe and a good choice. Play at the front desk was super friendly with a great smile and very helpful.
Margit

Larry
I have no complaints about the property or the room. My biggest concern is always bedbugs but thankfully the bed was free as I assume the whole room is. I will return if the opportunity presents itself to me.
Isaac
The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating.
Beverly
So the beds are on a sheet metal base which sounds like the drums of your ansestors awakening every time you move a muscle. That coupled with the fact I think they used box springs instead of mattresses. They felt like cardboard pallets to sleep on. My neice moved to the floor and.i seriously considered sleeping in the car for the night. Oh and if you like hearing the fridge make a constant growl that almost sounds like Darth Vader sleeping next to you, than this is for sure the room for you.
Albert

Vetrivelan
Room was smelling like cigarettes. AC was also smelling. Parking seemed safe. Had nice Mountain View.
Marriya
The onsite armed and knowledgeable security officer was a sure comfort along with the gated parking and noticeable cameras were a well enjoyed safety feature. It was a more comfortable area than any place I’ve stayed before
Rusty
This was an ideal place at an ideal price for a quick stop to sleep for a single male traveler.
Friedemann
Good
April
The neighborhood that it is in is kind of sketchy. But the staff is amazing, the rooms are clean, and it felt secure due to the fencing around it. The price is amazing. I would definitely stay again.
Alma
The room smelled like someone just had smoked before we got there. They should also be careful with who they rent their rooms to.
Rochelle Kit
We needed an inexpensive place to stay in ABQ and found this gem. It's right off the interstate; easy to find.
If you need a no frills, place to sleep, this us it. Beds were comfy, separate tub/toilet room from sink area which makes it easy for 2 ppl to get ready. Large tv (larger than some more expensive hotels have), microwave, a large mini fridge. Room was clean.
Gal at front desk at check-in was helping someone else so mgr/owner came out of office to help. Both were pleasant.
Hotel offered coffee in It's lobby, no breakfast. Not ahuge deal, we just went elsewhere to eat. There is a McDonald's next door and a Starbucks and Smith's grocery store kitty corner from hotel. Lots of other food options nearby.
If you want a clean place to stay while in ABQ, I'd highly recommend this property.

Mikel

Deborah

Guy

Vernon
Clean, friendly staff
Elizabeth
Our room didn't have hot water, and it took about 24 hours before we were moved to a different room. The bed frames have metal panels that clank when you roll over. The hotel allows dogs, but there's nowhere for them to go potty- just an enclosed parking lot. The rooms are not well equipped, even for a basic motel. Overall, not somewhere I would want to stay again.
Richard
Clean room pleasant staff
Ray
Room seemed clean but saw a roach..
Jim
Check-in was nice and helpful. However the computer was slow and seemed confusing. Took about 15-20 minutes to check us in.
The room was big and bright. Bathroom door would not close. Bed was too tall.

Angie
Our family rented three rooms. The rooms were clean, the staff were very helpful, the location was amazing, and plenty of food selections around to accommodate everyone.
Christina
The room and hotel were exceptionally clean! The staff were helpful and kind. I would stay again.
John
Safe parking
Daniel
Room was clean, but smelled musty. TV needs internet services. Gates should require a code, or what’s the purpose?
keith
The room was very clean and staff was very nice. I was a little concerned about the gate to park since we were there for the balloon festival and would be coming and going at odd hours. However, we never had any problems and it made me feel secure. I would stay there again.
Jodie
The property was a nice quick stop but would like an area for pets.
Joesph
This was a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, clean and very nice people. Rates were good. Definitely the place to stay if you want to hop right back onto I 40. Gas and food all right there.
Whitney
Kind of a dingy place but it works.
Alan
Very noisy night with all the hot cars and cycles. Otherwise just fine.
ma
Staff very helpful.
Holly
Room wasn’t ready for an hour after check in .
They gave us 3 towels for a 2 day stay .
Ran out of toilet paper .
The cleaning products they used was such a strong smell we could hardly sit in the room .
All the outside garbages were stuffed to the brim .

Friendly staff, nice large room, clean, has a very large refrigerator and a has a microwave.
Greg
I really appreciate the secure parking lot. Good house keeping to, except no tissues for the dispenser. Very friendly staff. I left before the grab and go breakfast so can't comment. It looks like a lot has been refreshed recently and so far it's still looking fresh. I'll never understand why the caulking in these bathrooms is so bad.
Douglas
Staff was great on check in. Little weird doing the laundry having to get the key and return it after every time you go thru the door. But laundry worked great, needed the extra steps i guess.

This property is clean, well maintained, and very close to the ocean. There are many dining options within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean room. Comfortable beds. Close to freeway but surprisingly quiet. One complaint was no in room coffee. There was in lobby. Had a fridge which I used and microwave. I would stay again
Andrea
The room wasn't very clean and the air conditioner didn't work as well either
But it was ok for one night I guess

It was extremely excellent
It was very good we really appreciate and enjoyed the visit on staying in this hotel.
Daniel
The morning clerk and evening clerk were friendly and helpful. The price was not too bad for just needing a place to sleep for one night. The property definitely needs some upgrades, but by the show of the new floor in the room, they are slowly working on it. The room wasn’t nasty, but more detail could’ve been made to make it cleaner.
George
The external of the inn was clean, however the rooms lacked detailed cleaning- I photographed a roach and dry blood on the door handle. The bedding was recycled and felt itchy. The sheets and pillow cases were changed on request. Otherwise, unremarkable and quiet.
Bill
Staff was great! Room was clean and bed comfortable. Area seemed good, Sprouts across the street and Chinese restaurant.No hair dryer in room only negative. Secure parking was awesome.
Arline
Just a place to sleep. Didn't have time to enjoy your facility
Ricardo
Great customer service, very clean, big rooms and beds. Enclosed property with closed gate.
Philip J
There room didn’t have a blanket and two hand towels is not what I want when I shower. Not good. I would not stay here again. The staff was fine, but the place isn’t.
Mitchell
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.
Senzaga
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.

Worth the low price and comfortable.
Avery
Price woth the Quailty
Pricing was great and quailty was well worth it. Quiet rooms with chill customers. Felt safe the entire time and found the quality of the room to be quiet enjoyable. My girlfiend didnt like the bed but i loved it. Needed to stay here while securing a new apartment and would gladly stay here again just to relax.

The staff here is incredible polite, and friendly. One particular lady named Angie. She goes above and beyond to make your stay as nice as possible. This lady should get a raise. I have gout and my foot was in unbearable pain when we checked in. She was going to switch our upstairs room to one downstairs because I was in terrible pain. To me that was definitely above and beyond. Thank you miss Angie!!!!

The check-in took awhile. The room was ok but the bed was uncomfortable. The TV had a terrible picture so you couldn't watch it. My partner felt it wasn't real safe.
You could smell that someone had smoked pot inside and outside of room.

Decent place to stay. Not expecting much. Just needed a place to sleep while traveling.

It sucks.
Treat you like a criminal. Check the room before you check out to make sure you have not stolen anything. Have to sign a waiver you will have no guests. Have a gate to enter/exit. It's a prison. Not a hotel.

I xhooSed to leave it outside the door of office after trying to comebup with solutions i stepped outside and boticed my bag was gone a security guy came in office i let him know that my ztuff was missing when i went to let him know he seemed to ignore me but the 2nd time i said somebody stoled my belongings he had had enough of me coming to window to acknowledge i had been robbed i got upset went to get my room at econolodge after not feeling accepted i got my room at econo only because the security office desided to run after me. He also told me to stay off property so i neve stayd ther ans was not allowed to get my deposit back.
