Amazing Location!

This is very cute, beautifully decorated, suite has easy parking, a security gate, hot tub, and is located a five minute walk from the central square of the old town. And, as a bonus, across the street from the unit is a beautiful park where my dog loved to run! Restaurants, museums, and shopping very close by, too!

Perfect Old Town Stay!

We loved the Rattlesnake Suite, its decor, and the lovely compound for all the Desert Compass suites. We never had to contact the property manager during our two-day stay. The property is located just steps from Old Town shops. Amazing place and location!

Cute place

The room had a lot of charm and was a great size. I’m over 6 feet tall so I had to do some ducking while walking around. But overall to have a small “cowboy” pool, hot tub, off street parking with a gate and be walking distance to old town was great. I would definitely like to stay there again

My sis and I walked into a beautiful clean and spacious space. Crisp white bedding. Sparkly lights around the window. Good reading lamps next to BOTH sides of the bed (we didn’t have to fight about who had the better light Ha!)Kitchen& bath were clean and supplied with amenities. We pulled into secure grounds with parking. Can’t say enough good things a bout this place.

Adorable Stay in Old Town!

I absolutely adored our family trip to Albuquerque. The coyote suite was a great place to come lay our heads after our adventures! It was a beautiful area and we loved how cute and cozy the coyote was! I will say, I did not know that it was a studio style home when I booked and assumed there would be a bedroom so I was surprised when we first arrived. Other than that, everything was great! Taya was extremely helpful and responsive when I was having issues with check in, there was a great book with suggestions on where to go and what to eat, and the property was clean cozy and quiet. I would love to go back in the future!

Gorgeous and special spot!

We were so excited to stay the night at this gorgeous property! This place will not disappoint. It is close to everything in Old Town, quieter than expected, and the styling of the whole property and the rooms cannot be beat. The booking process was easy and the entire experience was more than 5 stars!

Perfect Stay

The Desert Compass could not have been more perfect - everything about it - killer location, secure compound, easy self check in, authentic old style New Mexico vibe, sweet kiva fireplace:-), hot shower, clean and a comfy bed. Although we didn’t really use it, the kitchen was stocked with all essentials. 3 minute walk to Old Town and a park right across the street. We will definitely return!

Amazing Stay!

We really enjoyed the location of this property; Across from the park, and walking distance to Old Town. We found the property to be super clean and quiet. We LOVED the app. It was very easy to download and use, and super helpful! We did many of the restaurant/coffee shop and hiking recommendations, and enjoyed them!

Absolutely perfect

We absolutely adored our stay at the Rattlesnake suite. Such a gorgeous place in a beautiful setting. Idyllic! The location of the Desert Compass is perfect. It really couldn’t have been better. We were travelling there with a baby so location and ease was everything Walking distance to Sawmill and Blackbird coffee- both became faves! The Alberqueque museum was just steps away so we got to check out the latest exhibition. Easy access to all the old town shops and sites. Being just opposite a park was also ideal with a child! We were sad to leave! I’d definitely recommend this place to others!

Another great stay at the Rattlesnake Suite

Once again the Rattlesnake Suite was a great place to land in Albuquerque. Lovely neighborhood, great aesthetic in the space, and I LOVE that king size bed. The suite feels super welcoming, full of thoughtful touches (like the book/magazine selection), and has ample space for a couple looking for a private, comfy and cozy place to be. Hope to be back soon!

Cozy, stylish, comfortable

I had such a great stay in the Rattlesnake suite at The Desert Compass. It's a beautiful space - warm, comfortable, with fantastic decor and artwork. The location is perfect - walking distance to so many great shops, cafes, restaurants, and museums. Love that it's pet friendly, my little guy loved to sit by the fireplace and enjoy the warmth. Don't let the low ceilings scare you, I'm 6'1" and did just fine. Would definitely stay here again!
