A very good value stay. I would stay here again without hesitation.
Pros:

Extremely clean and a great price.

Cons:

The location wasn’t the best, but in Albuquerque, I’m not sure there is a best. Too much crime in this city.

Cute retro decor and friendly staff. Check-in is in the coffee shop!
Pros:

Super cute retro designed room! I wondered if it’d been recently refurbished- everything seemed newly updated. Friendly staff. The chocolate chip cookie from the coffee shop (local baker) was delicious. Support local!

Cons:

The mattress was a little too firm. Maybe it’s new!
Hard to tell where check in is. It’s labeled as a coffee shop (which it is, too.)
The chai I paid for the next day was a little watered down. I’d really been looking forward to it!
The room heater was really loud and constant.
