Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pros: centrally located Cons: dirty, bed linens had stains and holes/looked unwashed, did not provide enough towels for number of registered guests, towels were ripped and had holes. Room did bit have all provided things for it being classified as as “suite”. There was a sink with no soap or sponge. No cups for coffee. No coffee or tea packets. We stayed for 4 days and no housekeeping done even though we specifically asked. They came in only to change towels and left the dirty towels on the carpet. Didn’t make beds or vacuum. I called ahead of time to ensure pools were working. Indoor pool idea was nice but the water was 60 deg and was told they would inform maintenance - which never happened. The AC is old and could not keep temperature even. I won’t be staying here again and would advise others to look elsewhere. We paid over $400/nt and it was 2 star service.

We stayed here for three nights for the Balloon Fiesta. This property was very convenient because it is just off the highway. As we learned our second morning, as long as you are willing to leave prior to 4am, it is a clear shot to parking and you miss most traffic. If not, you will sit on highway for 2.5 hours. We stayed in the one bed studio. Highly recommend as it has a fully equipped kitchen, very nice sized bathroom with a great shower and a sofa. Bed was stiffer than we like but still slept well and room was fairly quiet. Oh, and the air conditioning is awesome, as well as all of the employees we encountered during our stay. The only thing I would complain about is there is only one chair at the kitchen table, but we ate on the sofa, so not really anything to complain about. This is a great property at a reasonable price, 5 stars all the way!

Nice room, bad employee
Tried to see if early checkin was available, no big deal if it wasn’t, but was looked at like I was stupid by an employee named Tonya for even asking. The third day of my stay my debit card was trying to be charged for the stay when I know I used a credit card. Since I did not authorize this my bank flagged it as fraud and I had to cancel that card and now deal with a replacement. That same day I was being charged on my credit card, which I wanted to use, but it was for a different amount than I was charged on the first day. I went to the front desk to figure this out and was understandably a bit heated. Luckily I dealt with a different employee who was very nice and said her manager would help once he was back. During this exchange, once again Tonya popped up. She told me to “lower my tone” because she was checking in a guest. I was not screaming by any means and this only irritated me more given the situation I was in with my credit/debit card. Once I figured out the card situation I unfortunately had to interact with Tonya again. I noticed 2 full shampoos were left in my room even though I had the privacy sign on. When I gave them back and asked why someone went into a room with a sign she said it was a “miscommunication” and “what would you like me to do about it?” Yet another Tonya interaction on my last night. I called for toilet paper and she said sure, walk down to get it. Walk down to the lobby in my pjs? Horrible employee! Almost ruined my vacation!

Great room, however we booked a king room months ago and that is not what we got. We were told after discovering this that it’s extended stay so if a corporate tenant extends theres nothing they can do. Staff was so nice and great breakfast. Very clean.

AC limitations
The air conditioner was not able to cool the room. We had the temperature set to 69 degrees around 3pm and it stayed 77 degrees in the room for more than 3 hours. It was 98 degrees outside with 30% humidity so the AC struggled. Fortunately we brought our own fans and it was tolerable. I have had the same issue with this specific hotel at other locations

Although well maintained, it seemed a little tired, especially the lobby/entry area. The room was nice and spacious and very adequate. I wish there had been more parking but we arrived late so had to park quite a way from our room.

Disappointed
The room was very small, the king size bed was very uncomfortable. The side close to the wall was higher than the opposite side, which was compacted and hard. This made the bed slopped from one side to the other like a low-rider. In addition, there was a large cockroach in the closet. I mentioned it to the receptionist on my way out. The sofa bed did not have any sheets on the mattress, just the cover, and we couldn't find any in the room. Breakfast had limited choices but was decent. Next time I visit Albuquerque, will definitely consider staying somewhere else.

Had a good stay. Was a nice clean room and beds were comfortable! Only complaints I have was we asked the worker for some towels after getting out the pool and she was rude and then brought us some old towels with holes all over them and black stains they looked like rags and for the price that you pay for the rooms I feel like that was unacceptable, disrespectful and rude! 2nd: No hottub 3rd: Shower wasnt all that great
