Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel itself is such a view, there’s a pop of color in almost every corner. The room was clean and neat when we first arrived, and the service provided whenever you needed something was relatively fast. Sometimes though your messages wouldn’t be seen so your request wouldn’t be completed but you can always go to the front desk to get what you need. The windows in the room do let in a lot of noise, so if you struggle to sleep with noise it might be a slight issue.Overall, it was a great place to stay

The hotel facility was acceptable with upgraded beds and bathrooms. The neighborhood was okay, but maybe a little unsafe. Two good dining establishments were close. Breakfast across the street and an Italian restaurant 1 block down Central. Staff were reasonably pleasant, but the rooms were only serviced occasionally. Our perception was this facility was average.

Dirty and bugs
There were bugs on my shower curtain! I woke up with 2 bug bites in the morning. My room was tile throughout and the grout was originally white, it was so dirty it was black. It looked like months of dirt and who knows what. I emailed twice and called 3 times (left messages) text twice, all with no response or call back. Poor customer service by upper management!!! I will say that the lady at the front desk when I checked In was super nice and super helpful. Do not recommend staying here!

Overall a good hotel. Hot water was turned off to the bathroom sink. Did not notice till the morning I was leaving. I'm sure they would have addressed it quickly though. All in all a decent place to stay.

We chose this hotel due to the amazing artwork. We were not disappointed in anything here. Wonderful location, restaurants in walking distance, free parking, awesome staff. If i ever return to Albuquerque i will definitely be back here. Ive already referred it to my aunt who is coming for the balloon festival. Also loved the hidfen speakeasy, the pool, the giant chess set, and colorful chairs outside. Our room had this amazing giraffe on the wall. Absolutely perfect!

Quirky motel, the double room was a little pricey for our short stay but delightful. Staff was friendly and helpful. Arrived late so had to park on the street. Loved the artistic touches...pops of color...and general feel of the property. The speak-easy looked inviting, but we didn't have time to check it out. Some of the art needed upkeep. The beds were comfy, the rooms were clean, and we walked across the street for a wonderful breakfast in the AM. Would stay here again.

What a fun place to stay!! From the cool, retro vibe, to the hidden speakeasy, and the awesome pool area (sad the “dive-in” was cancelled due to weather, Hotel Zazz is an experience, not just a place to lay your head. Within walking distance to a vibrant food and entertainment district, it checks all the boxes.

Description in app was not accurate. It initially said they offered laundry area. There was no mention of parking fees. It was $10 to park in a very small, limited parking area. They hold $150 for incidentals where most other hotels are 30-50. The rooms were cute but not completely clean, specifically the bathroom.
