above the rest
Pros:

Delicious morning coffee. Really good ice machine & washer/dryer gym space! Easily walkable to main cool things in the area! Very modernized, period-stylized, well-staffed "motel"! I liked that people who bought and owned a herse for a personal vehicle felt comfortable and happy staying here - it made me happy.

Cons:

The air conditioner could've been a little more powerful or the density of the comforter and stuff could've been less. Very, very comfortable and fluffy duvet and all that, but honestly unnecessary in the climate.

Charming and clean! Def recommend!
Pros:

Loved the updated yet “classic” charm. Rooms were clean and comfortable! Appreciated the amenities available in the room (complimentary water, toiletries, steamer vs iron). Charmingly appointed.

Cons:

Door handle was challenging to open, staff was kind and respectful in pointing it out.

Meilleur choix à Albuquerque
Pros:

Quel charme lorsque l’on arrive de nuit avec les néons et guirlandes illuminées !
Décoration et ambiance très agréable, équipements neufs. Personnel très accueillant autant au check-in qu’au check-out. Nous sommes arrivés tard dans la nuit et la réceptionniste a gentiment proposé de nous laisser la chambre une heure de plus pour nous reposer avant le check-out. Ce qui était vraiment très sympathique de sa part.
Chambre parfaitement bien équipée : mini frigidaire avec congélateur, steamer, prises usb pour recharger, bouteilles d’eau, lait pour le corps.
Machine à glaçons et distributeur de boissons, laverie et piscine également dans l’hôtel.
Le petit café de la Réception dispose d’un four à micro-ondes si besoin et offre du café le matin.
L’emplacement est proche de l’aéroport (15min) et idem pour la vieille ville très mignonne.
Enfin, le Grove Café & Market juste en face est parfait pour un bon brunch/dejeuner et attaquer la journée.
Bref tout a été parfait pour nous sachant que nous avons débuté et terminé notre roadtrip au Nouveau Mexique dans cet hôtel.

Cons:

Les escaliers pour accéder aux chambres en étage peuvent être compliqués avec des bagages.. peut être le préciser à la réservation si vous avez des difficultés physiques.

Fun vibes for a chill stay
Pros:

Wonderful customer service and a really fun and funky vibe! We enjoyed the live plants in the room, location near lots of good places to eat, and the ability to park right outside of our room.

Cons:

The pool chairs could use an update. Otherwise, we loved everything! The ac made an annoying buzzing sound, but it didn’t interrupt my sleep at all.
