For the price of the room, I expected better quality in the hotel, and more attention to detailed. A lightbulb was burnt out in the light fixture above the vanity sink, wifi was not working, breakfast area was extremely hot, not temperature controlled, cranberry juice was extremely watered down...tasted like plain old water.

The staff was very nice and always had ice water with fresh citrus in the lobby. These were the only good things about this property. The driveway to pull out to the main road had extremely limited visibility of oncoming traffic. There were renovation boxes stacked in front of the lobby door and we did not know that the property was undergoing renovations when we booked. Our room was visited by cockroaches twice and the toilet was recessed into the drywall which was NOT finished around it so that's probably how they got in. The light fixture in the sitting area started flickering on the last day we were there which seemed appropriate. The "gym" had several pieces of equipment that were very unstable and one that just didn't seem to work. The pool was too warm but we didn't go in because we had doubts about the cleanliness based on everything else we saw. In general this property is extremely rundown and is overdue for renovation. It was price competitive but we have no plans to return.

We booked this hotel because we had spent many hours on the road and needed the hot tub for my husbands back. We arrived and was told that the hot tub and hotel was in the stages of repair and the hot tub wasn't available.

The hotel was nice & decent. The breakfast was pretty good with options. The room was comfortable and clean. We've stayed here in the past and obviously came back. Our only issue was the smell of weed that filled our room everyday. We were near an exit and either people were lighting up in their rooms or were going outside just past our room and smoking. It was absolutely disgusting and nauseating. We go to ABQ every year for a conference and although we don't have issues with the actual hotel, we will probably stay across the street for now on. The weed was just to much!
