Hotel Chaco

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean and the supplies were top quality. I recommend it highly for the price it is a great value, the manager is unbelievably nice and accommodating."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This bed & breakfast is amazing! The staff are all very helpful and kind. The property is absolutely gorgeous and relaxing to stay in. The breakfast I received was outstanding - food, service, everything! My room was always very clean and well stocked with towels, kitchen needs, bathroom needs, and more. There were also grapes growing on vines outside my room (they were delicious too). What a lovely and unique hotel to stay in at Old Town ABQ! Easy access to many museums, shopping, cultural events, and restaurants. Not a far drive from the wonderful Petroglyph National Park, too. One minor point: Some of the casitas are larger than others. Be sure to check on that when you reserve a room, if you need space or more amenities like kitchen area. Highly recommended A+"

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."
