Very nice staff and adorable decor within the rooms. The location has a decent amount of homeless people nearby but is mostly fenced off to be a bit safer. Conveniently located right off I-40. Decent food within a 5 minute drive.

Fine place to stay. I’ve stayed here twice now and it’s not the Ritz but no bed bugs and reasonably priced. We had to wait about 15 minutes both times we needed the front desk because the attendant was on break. Close to the NM Expo though and good location.

Always a wonderful night's stay!!!

Like always, a wonderful night's stay. The fellow at the counter was very cool and very helpful. He directed me to the local TOTAL WINE AND LIQUOR and I was able to buy a nice bottle of tequila for my friends. Highly recommended when staying in ABQ.

The room and property were very clean. Its an older facility, but their recent renovations make a big difference. There's plenty of parking available. It's conveniently located near the interstate, some shopping, a Starbucks and a Denny's. I encountered several staff members and they were all extremely helpful and courteous. If i revisit Abq, I'll certainly stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service
we are an elderly couple and had to drag our suitcases up two flights of stairs to the room. Looks are deceiving the front of the building is beautiful but when you go around the side it is an older motel type.
