Not what we expected.

Very noisy street close by, it sounded like a race strip. Stayed 4 nights, no maid service which we were told when we checked in. Someone or an animal threw up on Friday second level walkway in front of a room entrance and it was still there when we left on Monday. Maids cleaning rooms that had been vacated should have seen and reported this. The trash dumpster gate was left open during day and it made area look trashy. Small parking lot. Ironing board needed a new cover, it kept pulling away from board when trying to iron. Check in person was very friendly. It is a motel.

Hotel was clean and okay for a one night stay.

The stay was okay. The breakfast could have been better. The only hot food was the self made waffles.

If you are looking for a budget friendly stay, this place would work. Bed was comfortable and room was clean, but furniture and general decor is a bit old and dated. It is right on the side of the road, so it was a bit noisy.

Sandia Peak Inn is not in a very nice neighborhood. Our room the bathroom door knob would not pop back up when opened or closed, the tub had a stain on the bottom and there were fuzz bunnieson the floor. The entry door was hard to open, then had to be forced shut. The staff was friendly. Don't plan on eating much on the continental breakfast.

While the people running the place were very kind, and the hotel wasn’t horrible, this area of Albuquerque is sketch. Other customers hanging outside their rooms talking loud as hell and a very large man walking back and forth above us all night made for a miserable stay.

We were just passing through so were not concerned about most of the questions, such as shopping, dining options or transportation. We did really enjoy the couple who checked us in, as they were very friendly and helpful with information. We would stay here again.

There is no door security or chain on the room doors, which open to the outside. This would not be ok even in a hallway, however.

There is no elevator, just stairs. The doors have a deadbolt, but not a chain or door lock mechanism for added security. This is not ok in this day and age, especially since the rooms open to the outside. The road was extremely noisy with cars racing up and down the street so our second night there, I hardly slept. The owner and his wife were very nice, even when we arrived after flying in at midnight.
