So, we stayed here because of the reviews being so good and it was on our way up I-25. It is conveniently off of I-25 and has restaurants near by. There is a restaurant inside the hotel which has great food as well. We have a little doggie, and that was another plus for us to be able to have him stay in our room for the night. Our double queen bed room was clean and comfy and spacious. The A/C and facilities all worked well except the water spout in the tub was loose and made us feel like it would come off of the wall if we weren't careful. The shower water pressure was very high which I liked. There is plenty of well lit parking and I felt our vehicles would be safe. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. A couple of issues we had were the unexpected surprise of having to pay $4 per night for parking. There is no free breakfast either, but they have a morning breakfast buffet for $16 ea if you want to dine in the hotel restaurant area. The elevator floors both needed to be replaced as the LVT flooring was separating and becoming a tripping hazard. I almost tripped on the floor in one of the elevators and reported it to the check-in desk which they quickly addressed. The price for a room is fairly reasonable for this area and they didn't charge us half of the cost of the room with a ton of fees you would normally find in other large cities. Overall, great place to stay and we will probably stay here again if we need a great hotel in Albuquerque.

The hotel is nice, clean, fairly modern. It is close to the freeway. There is a small charge for parking. The breakfast is not free.

I was prepared to give this property a rather average, humdrum review with some things I liked (pleasant staff, clean if stark room) and some things that I didn't (they have taken paperless to extremes and useful information on amenities, etc., could not be found in my room). However, that was before I discovered in the morning that my vehicle had been broken into overnight, and some belongings stolen in a typical "smash and grab." The hotel, of course, disclaimed responsibility, which I expected, but also said that that part of the parking lot had no security cameras on it, which I did not. Under these circumstances, I will never stay there again.

The restroom smelled like cigarette, I called the front desk and all they could say was "I'm sorry about that" I had a headache for the 1st day and a half (it was a non smoking room) The walls are very thin and you can hear the cleaning ladies talking very early in the morning.
