Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to get to. Close to my Albuquerque family. Nice staff."

Casa Rio - Adorable Albuquerque Home in Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"This little house was one of the most comfortable ones I’ve ever rented on VRBO. The beds were absolutely perfect! I would give it a 10 for cleanliness. We had every creature comfort you could imagine. This house was a 12 out of 10!!!We shall return! The hosts were extremely helpful and very generous tour guides!!"

Gorgeous Casita In The Heart Of Historic Old Town

8/10 Good

"Check in was very easy, the code was given for the lock on the door. It worked with no issue. The Casita was very nice and we enjoyed the outdoor patio very much. It was very nice to have our own spot to cook as well. Their was a few crumbs on the floor when we checked it, but nothing we weren't able to vacuum with the on-site. The memory foam mattress was much more firm than what we were used to, but this wasn't a huge issue. We had a great experience here and loved the proximity to Old Town. We would stay here again!"

3 King Beds+Hot Tub+Walkers Paradise+Gated Parking+Instant Hot+Refrigerated Air

10/10 Excellent

"The property accommodated 7 adults aged 62 very nicely. The location to Old Town allowed us to walk to wonderful shops and restaurants. They were other destinations (I.e Sandia Park, Santa Fe, and Pueblo Indian Culture within manageable driving distances. The property is well cared for and it is evident the host keeps the comfort and enjoyment of guests in mind."
