Nice large comfortable room, but…
Nice large comfortable room with a view of a used car parking lot. But we didn’t go for the view. The room needs a chair or couch or something to sit on rather than just an office chair and bed.

The staff friendly service was about the only great thing about this hotel. It definitely shows it's age with creeky floors, thin walls my kids and myself could hear everything even a couple being intimate, bathroom door broken wouldn't open once you were inside lol, sheets stained (nothing to gross) so it was not bad but for the price I paid I would never stay here again.

Customer service was nice and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and spacious but we booked the hotel because I have kids who love to swim. The disappointment was that the indoor pool was cold and dirty. The hot tub water was green and smelled stagnant. Could tell both have not been cleaned in a while. Usually you could smell the chlorine but this one you couldn’t.

Good room but hotel needs a good cleaning
The staff was friendly and our room was clean. However, the exterior and interior public areas need a good cleaning. Outside was pretty dirty with trash and cigarette butts. The inside hallways looked like they hadnt been vacuumed in sometime. The elevator door tracks were filled with dirt and grime.

Highly Recommend This Hotel
This hotel is easy to get to off the interstate. Conveniently located for easy travel. The parking is well lighted and we felt safe staying here. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The breakfast was enjoyable and the eating area is clean with plenty of tables. We actually tried to book this hotel again on our way back through Albuquerque but it was already sold out.
