Unique place to stay to say the least! Pretty much our go to place to stay in Alb. now. Convenient location to the Downs at Alb and just far enough way to be relatively safe near a rough part of town. Charge for parking should come with the room. Just Sayin.

My air conditioner stopped working. I was 3pm on a weekday when I noticed it, and instead of fixing it,k they moved me to another room, above the bar. The bar was noisy with thmping music through my floor until after 10pm. I complained and they tried to move me to a room that was not as good athe room I paid for, and it stunk of cigarettes. I had to complain again and was moved to a 4th room that was smaller than the room I booked and paid for. It was not a fun experience moving my bags all over the Motel.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which truly stood out for its accommodating staff. They provided extra soaps, shampoos, and even an iron and ironing board when needed. Everyone was kind and courteous, making my experience enjoyable. However, I was disappointed to find an additional parking fee on top of the already high room rate. For that price, I expected parking to be included. While there is a side lot with security cameras, it lacks visibility from the room, which can be concerning given the area's sketchy reputation. It would have been reassuring to park in the motel’s more visible spots, especially since they had open spaces available. Additionally, the hotel advertised movies by the pool on both their website and in-room TV, but both nights there were no movies showing, which was a letdown. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this hotel, but be aware of the extra parking costs and check for movie schedules if that’s something you’re interested in.

Hotel Zazz is a fun and modern motel that fits right in with Albuquerque's personality. Located in the Nob Hill district, it is within walking distance to restaurants, cafes, and shops. The staff were great and super friendly, and if you had any questions they were just a text message away. The rooms were bright and modern with colorful accents to really set them apart. Make sure you check out the speakeasy lounge and hang out by the pool.

Noise pollution
Avoid room 128. This room is located right next to the housekeeping quarters. We traveled for balloon fiesta and was looking forward to some rest and relaxation at the room. This was impossible anytime the housekeepers were in and out of that room. I brought this to the attention of the management and even though they had an available room to move me to they wanted to charge me an upgrade fee to move away from the noise. I will stay at another hotel for my future abq trips. This accommodation request was very appropriate yet management fought this regardless of the vacancy.

Creative vibe but wouldn't return
Loved the vibe and attention to detail. Here is what would keep us from returning: Staying in room 247 with an early morning flight and the Music/bass blasting while we are trying to sleep. Contacted front desk, said they would have them turn it down, didn't happen. Traffic noise - if we had more time I would have moved rooms. Safety - felt a bit uneasy with the yelling going on outside when we were loading up to leave at 4 this morning.

Technicolor fever dream - good, not great
Overall for a 3-star place the hotel delivers as expected, with a few extras that may or may not be to your liking. The location is convenient to Nob Hill, but is located directly on Central and all the color that avenue brings. Front desk personnel are friendly, but it seems that the hotel in general is still working out a few kinks (asked for minimal amenities that should have been in-room already but they never appeared, “speakeasy” is going through a revamp, stated web prices for things were different onsite, and pool area could use a touch more attention), but all-in-all a solid (and boutique, local owned) option that delivers more character than the chain options in town. Room was large, and all the basic amenities were present as expected - however, the entire hotel and rooms seem like a quick-flip of a travelodge or motel 6 (furnishings varied from thoughtful to cheaply installed), and wear is already starting to show. Hoping that the owners put a little more love into maintenance (and security - for instance, not putting room numbers on the publicly displayed parking pass for your car) to perfect the “experience,” which is really what they are aiming for. Last bit - be warned that during peak times the costs rival those of 4/5-star hotels in NYC or SFO - temper your expectations, and know that you’re paying for availability, not star-ratings, or the amenities those properties offer.
