Top Explora Science Center and Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Chaco

10/10 Excellent

"Great Friendly Service. Comfortable Very Clean rooms"

The Monterey Motel

8/10 Good

"A great Retro Motel, in a great location. Very comfortable bed. Close to many things. My only critique, would be the drinks served in the bar. No brand names, all local made and not as good. Just my opinion."

Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town

8/10 Good

"The property is beautifully landscaped, well maintained and within an easy walk to Old Town. Breakfast choices are good. Arriving for the weekend on Saturday, we encountered several (maybe 3) wedding receptions at the hotel which made parking difficult. At check in, we were advised there’d be a wedding reception beneath our balcony that would be moved inside at 10:00 pm and it was."

Casas de Suenos Old Town Historic Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great old historic inn… small rooms with everything needed and very comfortable beds… beautiful courtyard and pool area… wonderful made to order complimentary breakfast… would stay there again."

Painted Lady Bed & Brew

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful, comfortable, unexpected place! Great staff, and the check-in process could not be easier. Our room was enormous, quiet, and full of fascinating objects on display explaining the history of the property. The inner courtyard spaces are lovely, and the trolley car bar is a must visit. A gem of the area, a little bit off the beaten path, but close to everything you'd want to visit."
