The staff was friendly and the bed was comfortable however the property is very rundown and in a very old and very noisy part of the city. The air conditioner was very loud however it helped to block out the street noise. The breakfast offered was minimal, the coffee was terrible. There were basically no dining options near the property. Not sure how this can be a Howard Johnson affiliate.

Not a great or even good choice. The area around the motel was sketchy at best. The staff were friendly but that cannot overcome the rundown conditions of the property.

Friendly staff, nice big room with comfortable bed. Some of the furniture is old and needs to be replaced. There was a metal base around the bed which made noise whenever you sat on the bed but sleeping was noiseless. Bathroom tub was very worn and needs replacement as well.

This place is underrated, the rooms upstairs do still have carpet but it is for sound proofing for the lower floors that have lament wood. The rooms are clean, nice bigger refrigerator and microwave. Staff was very friendly and very helpful, the parking area has so many cool statues and is very colorful and unique. The pool was clean but there was some damage to the ceiling that needed to be addressed, the electricity went out in the middle of the night for a while, but that wasn't their fault. The bad is that the racing out side is very loud again not their fault just the area. It was a little sketchy at night with folks walking around but that is Albuquerque in general and they didn't walk into the hotel parking lot. Overall very pleased to have stayed there and would stay there again.

Pro: 1. has character / vibe. Interesting decor around parking lot 2. Friendly staff 3. Didn't find live bugs in room 4. Clean in areas that mattered (bed sheets, towels) 5. Relatively affordable compared to other hotels on area 6. Parking area seems safe (walked up) Cons 1. Furniture in state of disrepair 2. Could be cleaner (stains on walls, found a dead hornet by windows. Breakfast room area especially) 3. Lots of bugs and mosquitos outside in parking lot (didn't find any in room) Overall it's ok for spending a night safely in ABQ.

Don’t go to this hotel
The advertisement they had on the picture is not what they try to give me it was a whole other room and when I showed the front desk employee he told me it was a mistake on Hotels.com that they uploaded the wrong picture of the room So I had to canceled it because the employee was very rude about it I would never recommend this hotel to anyone ever.

Everything was very clean and the managers were very friendly. I was meeting with a friend, and we were allowed to sit in the breakfast room for the entire afternoon so we had a quiet place to talk. The A/C was out in that room only, so it was a little warm, but we made do. The hotel is right on a busy street, so we did hear some road noise. When the A/C is on, most of the noise is negligible. The breakfast consisted of bananas, dry cereal, milk, yogurt, oats, choice of juices, various breads, waffles, and packaged sweets such as chocolate cupcakes and muffins. Peanut butter was available in a large jar or in individual mini packets. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay for a good price.

Family affair
This the motel we normally stay at in Albuquerque. Owners are always friendly and accommodating. It is a good well taken care of property. We used to make it their every other month, but now mostly stay with son and his family since they moved to Albuquerque in August. Since more relatives were there for a family affair we chose to stay at our standby motel.

I found bedbugs and bedbug eggs in my bed. I left after one night. I emailed them and didn’t get a reply. Admittedly, I left my keycard at the desk (no one was there) and just dipped on out. This place is very gross.
