Nuit étape à Albuquerque sur la route de White Sands.
Pros:

La décoration et la serviabilité des employés.

La télécommande de la TV ne fonctionnait pas, de plus les fusibles avaient sauté et certaines prises ne fonctionnaient pas mais l’employé a trouvé le problème.

Staying in a retro, renovated Route 66 hotel was fun! Everything about the property is beautiful.

Love the renovated rooms and retro property.

Cons:

The lack of elevators for 2nd floor was a little laborious for heavy luggage.

Great vintage hotel in Albuquerque
Pros:

The hotel was a vintage property that has been renovated. Very well laid out and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff was great! Friendly and courteous and there was specialty coffee available. We only stayed one night and did not have time to use the restaurant or workout space, but we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable and we saw some balloons from ABQ Balloon Fiesta from our room balcony!

Cons:

The parking was a bit challenging with few spaces on a busy night, but we did score a space after a short wait.
