Everything was clean, the staff was kind, and the breakfast was great.
I went to Albuquerque for a family event and i always love staying here. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is clean and very comfortable. I do not always use the gym but when i do im always satisfied with the cleanliness of it. I feel like my overall stay is always amazing.

Great place to stay and good breakfast. I would stay again.
Room was spacious and comfortable. Not as clean as I would have liked. Used soap in the shower and the coffee machine was not clean Breakfast was ok At 8 they were out of some options and had no intention of replenishing The elevator definitely needed attention
Room is fine! Nothing fancy does job. Staff at check in great. Breakfast was where the failed. Only one lady. All food out and we were not there right at closing. All tables full of people waiting on food. She was changing the tv channel. One lady to cook for whole hotel not smart.
Property was under renovations so not in top condition. Room was a suite so we appreciated the extra space. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
Location was convenient as we had early reservation for the Sandia Tram in the morning.
It was a quick stay, in late out early. Friendly staff. Clean room.firm but comfortable bed. Good breakfast options Easy access to highway. Well lit parking lot. Felt safe
Our floor was recently remodeled, but I am not sure whether they were aware of a possible roof leak in room 304, at the east wall, right corner of the room. It looks like it has made the wallpaper run, and when you see things like that, you do worry about potential mold.
I would stay again; the price was reasonable. I have a feeling we only got this price because of renovations, but I hope they try to stay somewhat close to that price.
Waffles make or something blew the fusses in the food area, and they would prefer frozen chopped potatoes instead of saggy hash brown patties. The staff were very friendly

Liked: Staff & service
Good service by staff. Good breakfast. T.v. was good. Clean room overall. A bit runned down tho. The room we stayed had carpet stains. Overall, better than the Comfort Inn on Alameda in Albuquerque.
