Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was fantastic. Labor Day weekend there are usually weddings so be prepared. We always get balcony rooms so we can enjoy the festivities and music in the evenings! We will always (third year in a row now!) make this our go-to NM hotel!"

Spacious & Stocked: 2Kings+Hot Tub+Fire Pit+Family Fun

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for tourists, clean, extremely well stocked, and comfortable. Best place we have stayed in for our annual sibling reunion.Christine (host) was very accommodating and offered recommendations for shopping, dining, etc."

Amazing 4-bedroom: AC, WiFi, 2 car garage with river view in NW Albuquerque

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed our stay. Your home was lovely, comfortable, and perfectly located for getting to and from all the places we wanted to explore. It was the perfect home base for our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely love to come back!"

Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm

10/10 Excellent

"Depending on the room that is designated, some are better than others. I requested a room that is bright/light, but got a dark room even though it was an upgrade. FYI: Don’t forget the price/night may seem reasonable. When you checkout, there are many local city taxes, resort fees, farm taxes, for maintenance etc. We had dinner and breakfast. Both were fabulous. Would like to come again, but the room will make it or break it. Good experience."

IDEALLY LOCATED!! Old Town to Uptown! Comfortable! Close to Parks & Bike Trails!

Stunning views of sunrises and hot air balloons. Zen garden & a hot tub await.
