Our bed mattress was very old and lumpy. The sides were broken down. The heating system would never satisfied. We sat the temperature for heat and then after reaching a certain temperature it would switch to cool and run and run and run until we had to get up several times during the night and turn it off.

The hotel is in a good location. Just off I40 and close to Old Town. Lots of options within walki g distance. Clean, nice staff. No breakfast available. Free coffee in Lobby. Too close to HWy. So, so, neighborhood. Dated. Windows are sealed and HVAC annoying and noisy. OK for a night to go out in Old Town.

Great place in Albuquerque! I picked this hotel for its dog-friendliness, as we were traveling with a puppy, and for the security (parking area is fenced). Talk about dog friendly! We were given a treat bag for our baby, there were bowls for food and water in the room, and thankfully, no carpet! We ordered room service and were shocked at how quickly our delicious food arrived. Love this place.

Nice location just off I40, very close to Old Town Albuquerque. Several good restaurants very close to hotel, with others only a short walk. Clean, good rooms. Only issue is the expense of the "dog friendly" room. You must book a pet room ($20 more than a regular room), then $30 for each dog. We have two dachshunds, total weight 30lbs. So our dog friendly room cost $80 more.
