Nativo Lodge Hotel Albuquerque
"Although the hotel has a beautiful and unique decor, I found the overall experience to be only satisfactory. The amenities were somewhat lacking (e.g. no glasses or plasticware in the room).

Hyatt Place Albuquerque Airport
"Staff was great. Breakfast was solid. One of two Elevators was out of commission both days we were guests and that made things difficult. Besides that the stay was fine."

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel
"Disappointing stay overall — not what we expected for the price. The experience left a lot to be desired, and we ran into several issues that made our trip less enjoyable than it should have been. We’ll be spending our money at Sandia Casino next time without hesitation."
