Another pleasant stay
Pros:

I've stayed here many times. There were no surprises and the property is well-managed.It is an older property but it has a lot of character which is why I keep coming back.

Cons:

Seems like for an older property that the rate should not be so high.

Pros:

This hotel had airport shuttle. We were able to use it to get to the hotel but our flights left too early to get a ride to the airport at the end of our stay.
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

When we arrived, we were told we could not stay there because we’re locals! Only travelers may stay there.
Cons:

We’re locals so we couldn’t stay there. We need a refund from Booking.com.

Ottima scelta sia come sicurezza che posizione
Pros:

Best Western è un vero e proprio hotel, pulito e con tutti i servizi.
C'è un abbondante set di bagnoschiuma, creme e balsamo, asciugacapelli, busta biancheria, aria condizionata, frigo e macchina del caffè.
Nel motel c'è il servizio gratuito di refill acqua e dell'ottimo caffè (di ogni tipo) alla reception.
C'è possibilità di fare colazione e cena al ristorante (non incluso nel prezzo).
Pulito: nessun insetto.
La zona è tranquilla, ci sono pochi senzatetto e sono lontani, solo una volta ne ho trovata una fuori dall'hotel.
Ottimo servizio shuttle per l'aeroporto, personale gentile ed efficiente

Cons:

La prima sera il dispenser si sapone sia nella doccia che per le mani era finito ma mi hanno subito fornito un set di cortesia.
L'asciugacapelli non era ben funzionante (odore di bruciato) ma me l'hanno sostituito.
Tips for women solo traveler: ci sono homeless nei dintorni ma sono pochi, state lontane dal ponte, solo una volta ho trovato una senzatetto proprio davanti all'hotel, prestate attenzione quando vi recate a piedi ad Old Town in qualsiasi ora ed evitate se possibile i bus di linea, cercate di usare il servizio gratuito e on demand di ABQ Ride (ma copre poche zone) oppure Uber. Prestate anche attenzione ai fast food nelle immediate vicinanze poiché non sono ben frequentati, usate Uber Eats piuttosto.
Ristorante: se avete problemi di dieta specificate di non usare spezie anche se sul menù non sono indicate.
