This hotel is clean and well maintained. Although I don't feel hotels along the Interstate are very safe in Albuquerque, I like the location of this one. Close to a lot of good restaurants.

Everything was great except 2 things. 1) Shower pressure is very weak 2) The waitress wouldn’t let my husband sit at a table in the breakfast area to have his coffee if he wasn’t ordering food, but then he saw another couple sit down there to have coffee without ordering food and the waitress allowed it. It wasn’t that they were so full that they needed tables for ppl who wanted to order——all the tables were empty except one. It felt very unaccommodating and had never happened to us before at other Hilton Garden hotels.
