During your Albuquerque vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

National Atomic Museum
"I am become death, the shatterer of worlds." Shortly after the successful detonation of the first atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer, who headed the Manhattan Project, said this, quoting from ancient Hindu texts. This and other valuable information highlight the 51-minute film Ten Seconds That Shook the World, which is shown daily (throughout the day) at this museum, an experience worth fitting into a busy schedule. The museum itself offers the next-best introduction to the nuclear age after the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, making for an interesting 1- to 2-hour perusal. It traces the history of nuclear-weapons development, beginning with the top-secret Manhattan Project of the 1940s, including a copy of the letter Albert Einstein wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt suggesting the possible need to beat the Germans at creating an atomic bomb -- a letter that surprisingly went ignored for nearly 2 years. You'll find a permanent Marie Curie exhibit in the lobby and full-scale models of the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" bombs, as well as displays and films on the peaceful application of nuclear technology -- including nuclear medicine -- and other alternative energy sources.

Old Town
A maze of cobbled courtyard walkways leads to hidden patios and gardens, where many of Old Town's 150 galleries and shops are located. Adobe buildings, many refurbished in the pueblo revival style of the 1950s, are grouped around the tree-shaded plaza, created in 1780. Pueblo and Navajo artisans often display their pottery, blankets, and silver jewelry on the sidewalks lining the plaza.The buildings of Old Town once served as mercantile shops, grocery stores, and government offices, but the importance of Old Town as Albuquerque's commercial center declined after 1880, when the railroad came through 1 1/4 miles east of the plaza and businesses relocated to be closer to the trains. Old Town clung to its historical and sentimental roots, but the quarter fell into disrepair until the 1930s and 1940s, when artisans and other shop owners rediscovered it and the tourism industry burgeoned.When Albuquerque was established in 1706, the first building erected by the settlers was the Church of San Felipe de Neri, which faces the plaza on its north side. It's a cozy church with wonderful stained-glass windows and vivid retablos (religious paintings). This house of worship has been in almost continuous use for nearly 300 years.Though you'll wade through a few trinket and T-shirt shops on the plaza, don't be fooled: Old Town is an excellent place to shop. Look for good buys from the Native Americans selling jewelry on the plaza, especially silver bracelets and strung turquoise. If you want to take something fun home and spend very little, buy a dyed corn necklace. Your best bet when wandering around Old Town is to just peek into shops, but there are a few places you'll definitely want to spend time. An excellent Old Town historic walking tour originates at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History at 11am Tuesday to Sunday during spring, summer, and fall. Plan to spend 2 to 3 hours strolling around.

New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science
A trip through this museum will take you through 12 billion years of natural history, from the formation of the universe to the present day. Begin by looking at a display of stones and gems, then stroll through the "Age of Giants" display, where you'll find dinosaur skeletons cast from the real bones. Moving along, you come into the Cretaceous Period and learn of the progression of flooding in the southwestern United States, beginning 100 million years ago and continuing until 66 million years ago, when New Mexico became dry. This exhibit takes you through a tropical oasis, with aquariums of alligator gars, fish that were here 100 million years ago and still exist today. Next, step into the Evolator (kids love this!), a simulated time-travel ride that moves and rumbles, taking you 1 1/4 miles (2km) up (or down) and through 38 million years of history. Then, you'll feel the air grow hot as you walk into a cave and see the inner workings of a volcano, including simulated magma flow. Soon, you'll find yourself in the age of the mammoths and moving through the ice age. Other stops along the way include the Naturalist Center, where kids can peek through microscopes and make their own bear or raccoon footprints in sand, and FossilWorks, where paleontologists work behind glass, excavating bones of a seismosaurus. Be sure to check out the newest addition to the museum, the LodeStar Astronomy Center, a sophisticated planetarium with the Virtual Voyages Simulation theater. Those exhibits, as well as the DynaTheater, which surrounds you with images and sound, cost an additional fee. A gift shop on the ground floor sells imaginative nature games and other curios. This museum has good access for people with disabilities, including scripts for people with impaired hearing and exhibit text written in Braille.

oscar, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 2007-03-07

The hotel was off the main highway and 10 miniutes from the main shopping centers and many restaurants.

The hotel was clean and centraly located for the budget travelor. The hotel had a friendly staff. The rooms were clean and had all the necessities for ones stay. The continental breakfast was appropriately titled A compliment to your breakfast, which was appropriate. But for this travelor the breakfast was satisfying. The business center was a plus and the free internet service was a most welcome surprise and an advantage.

Bed Bugs

The stay at this hotel was just ok. During my 2nd night I noticed "bed bugs" in my bed.They moved me to another room but it doesn't change the fact that that is just nasty.

Central Location

Easy access to golf courses via the interstate.

The Days Inn Albuquerque is a decent place to stay. The cleaning service folks were freindly and helpful. Check in was a snap. The motel is convenient to restaurants and shopping. Could access the interstate with very little trouble. All in all I had a good visit to the Albuquerque area.

Several small malls and shopping centers are in the area, jsut watch where you're going on the frontage road. Hotel is less than a mile from the Highway.

Check in was efficient, but the fun ended there. I notified the clerk upon check out of the condition of the room and she appeared concerned so hopefully they will spend a little extra time fixing it. Still, I don't plan on staying there again.

There was a cafe just across the street.

The Days Inn hotel was comfortable up to the point where it smelled like cigarette smoke in a non smoking room for the entire stay. It also smelled stale.

Horrible Experience

jeremy, 2006-09-04

This Days Inn was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. When I checked in there was a very strange odor in the lobby. The straw that broke the camels back was when we went into the room it smelled and the bed was broken right down the middle. You would be crazy to stay here. I would rather sleep in a box under the interstate. Needless to say I didn't stay very long before I went and found more suitable accomodations

Not very happy

Carolyn, Chicago, IL, 2006-09-03

rental car is helpful to get around

The Days Inn of Albuquerque on Menaul Rd was somewhat disappointing. The problem was bugs in the room, large "water bugs", otherwise known as American roaches. This made my wife quite uncomfortable and she wouldn't leave anything on the floor. I understand that these type of things like the bugs comes with the area of the country, but she has never been out west or the southwest, or even south at all. So, it was somewhat of a problem on this trip, to say the least.

Very Unhappy

Anonymous, Albany, NY, 2006-08-31

When I got to The Days Inn everything was going ok. The check in was fine but when I got to the room the remote control had no batteries in it and the door was very hard to open and close. I awoke the next morning to use the bathroom and there were 3 cockroaches crawling around my room. I called the front desk and they sent someone over immediately. The maintenance man saw them and after he left there were 3 more ( a total of 6 ). I had to wait until my ride could come and get me 4.5 hours later. I sat in the middle of my bed from 5:30 AM until 10:00 AM. I will never stay at another Days Inn.

great location

Mariah, 2006-08-21

Everything is near. The exits, mountains, casino's, downtown, shopping and the shuttle will take u anywhere from the hotel (w/in reason) in case u are going to drink.

All hotel staff was great, however, the room was clearly not cleaned. As a matter of fact there were toenail clippings laying by one of the beds and one of the pillows had something?? on it. The bathtub and sink area did not look like it was scrubbed out very well and on the granite top the writing was still on the front. By the way the room number was 3216 and i bet the toe-nail clipping is still there (by the far bed). Not a big deal but clean is good thing!! it really did not effect my trip, but just thought you'd want to know. a satisfied customer
