Reserved a nonsmoking room and when we arrived and walked in it smelt like a casino. There was obvious signs of poor house keeping. Bugs were crawling all over the floor and the corner of the wall and when management was notified he didn’t seem to care. Enjoyed a nice clean stay up the road at desert sands because we refused to stay in a place like that.

Disliked: Amenities
For the location it wasn’t bad. Beds weren’t that comfortable and a lot of activity at night but it was clean place to sleep
All the rooms reeked and I mean reeked of cig smoke to the point it made me have a head hurt, even tho it was a non smoker room.
The floor was greasy and the bed was full of holes and looked dirty. Atleast the staff was nice and did what they could.
Dirty. No shampoo or soap. Lots of shady characters wandering about the parking lot and walkways. Young women with no shoes going in various rooms and wandering the area. Broken steps and holes in the walls. Bed had hair on the sheets.
Nice clerk upon checkin.
I was anxious that my credit card details were hand written on a pce of paper. The room had a hand mended cover on the bed. Was clean given it is an old building. The towels were small and thin.Didnt feel safe at all. More so the people in the area. Not necesarily the staff. Was ok but i feel coukd be cleaner

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was good to just have a night rest. Not a lot or limited amenities. The sheets had holes and towls had stains.
Convenient stop, per friendly although no grassy area for your pet.
Service was veey nice durinf check in. The room was not great ( and I was told it was better than a room I was initially being given). Very run down in need of updates, maintenance and paint! My toilet was broken and continued to run all night long.
BAD AREA OF TOWN! Food places wouldn't deliver here. Gates to protect the parking lot at night. A lot of homeless, drug users, etc. Businesses/Food places nearby are all closed. Hotel is clean but not very safe outside.
Felt very nervous when having to go outside the hotel.
its a very run down place it was a better place 6 years back once i check in notice the smell of weed and smoke plus the holes in the walls check under the sheets found a cockrouch in the bed running across the sheets killed took it to the manager and said im not sleeping here. i would just like my deposit back and cancel the room plus at first try to get in the room key card didn't work. no toilet paper in the bath room. alot of homeless people right outside the property. next door was a waffle house but close down. the area was great 6 years ago that was my first reason for going back plus i want a good nite rest tomorrow i got a important VETERANS APPOINTMENT AT THE MAIN HOSPITAL IN ALBUQUERQUE. so i left and check into another area Albuquerque were it was almost full and rates were higher in the late evening. it seem most place went up 20 bucks more at the last minute check in which suck so i guess the websites has its way on making money too.
There were visible stains all over the sheets including dried blood stains, but the kicker was what I only hope was someone else’s beard trimmings all over the counter and sink.
There should be a warning on this place! I’ve never even seen something so scary. There were people living in their vehicles and it was completely run down. The beds have some kind of metal sheeting on the bottoms so every time you try to turn over it makes this scary creaking/popping sound. We felt like we were in a horror movie. The only saving grace was that the lone worker at the front office was friendly.
The room absolutely smelled like mildew and cigarettes. The beds had multiple stains and burn holes on the blankets . No towels no wash clothes. It was a horrible experience I could not wait to leave that place. There was also no breakfast served the pictures you see are a lie. Horrible place.
This was the worst place I have ever stayed. No shower curtain, smelled like smoke, no toiletries, had to climb up to 3rd floor on steps, place was filthy, cockroaches, hard lumpy beds, I booked king room, got two full size. The breakfast was cereal and white toast. The list goes on. You should stop bookings at this place. The health department needs to step in.
There was homeless people hanging around outside, people smoking and drinking on the walkway, the room was dirty and had burn holes in the bed blankets, no towels in the bathroom or soap
