Disappointed

It was Unique and artistic, i was excited to stay until, i saw the bathroom,i had 2 rooms and they were both nasty, the shower curtain had big yellow stains ,floor had hair and dirty spots all over, towels and robes had stains and toilets had yellow lines running down the side. It was to much. I told front desk about it and asked them for a refund cuz i was going to leave and they said there was a no refund policy with hotels.com but i had called them first and they called the front desk to help me get a refund but they told them no. So it was the hotel that didn't want to give my money back to me not hotels.com. so i left the hotel and had to find somewhere else to stay and list more then $300 .

I originally discovered this hotel during New Mexico Burlesque Festival a couole years ago and attended the after parties at the SpeakEasy. Didnt stay there during that trip, but was really interested in staying. I thought it had a cool vibe, and I love refurbished gems. I travel through Abq often between Texas and Vegas...so decided to give it a shot. Loved it. I wish there was more parking because i had to park my car behind the building the first time, but that only happened once. So yes Ive been back a handful of times. Ive enjoyed it immensely , love that i could walk to nearby establishments, definitely want to try the spa and hot tub, and spend more than one night in passing. Its unique, comfy, artsy but not pretentious, and I definitely route fir this gem to do well and keep with their unique experience and continue to grow etc. Its a pretty cool spot, but still private enough when you just want to chill. Coming back each time I can when i pass through town and need to stop. Its a great "route 66" experience and one of those places that definitely can be chatted about in cool memories about traveling the historic route and definitely a stand out to recommend to others. Not just a hotel/motel, an experience!

Would not Recommend

This hotel is actually a Motel ( as another pointed out) It surely does not live up to its advertisement..... old motel , have to pay for parking plus they do NOT have enough parking for all guest therefore you must park on side of road!!!! Unheard of!!! Also the noise level is high due to the street it is on you can hear the noises all night long .... the rooms were clean but the outside of the motel looks awful , we actually were looking around when we arrived as it looks nasty

Solo Female Traveler Approved!

What a gem Hotel Zazz is! This was my first time in Albuquerque, and I’m so glad that I found Zazz. It is clear that this is a labor of love, and you know from the moment you pull into the parking lot that you’re going to stay someplace special and completely unique. From the exterior decor to the stunning lobby to the special touch in the lobby that gains you access to a fabulous speakeasy with the friendliest staff! I’m a solo female traveler and am always a bit anxious as to how I will be received as a visitor, but the staff at the hotel and the bar couldn’t have been more welcoming! I cannot wait to head back to Albuquerque to book another stay at Hotel Zazz!
