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

Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
Owned and operated as a nonprofit organization by the 19 pueblos of New Mexico, this is a fine place to begin an exploration of Native American culture. Located about a mile northeast of Old Town, this museum -- modeled after Pueblo Bonito, a spectacular 9th-century ruin in Chaco Culture National Historic Park -- consists of several parts.Begin your exploration in the basement, where a permanent exhibit depicts the evolution of the various pueblos from prehistory to present, including displays of the distinctive handcrafts of each community. Note especially how pottery differs in concept and design from pueblo to pueblo. You'll also find a small screening room where you can see films of some of New Mexico's most noted Native American artists making their wares, including San Ildefonso potter María Martinez, firing her pottery with open flames.The Pueblo House Children's Museum, located in a separate building, is a hands-on experience that gives children the opportunity to learn about and understand the evolution of Pueblo culture. There they can touch pot shards, play with heishi (shell) drills, and even don fox tails and dance.Upstairs in the main building is an enormous (10,000-sq.-ft.) gift shop featuring fine pottery, rugs, sand paintings, kachinas, drums, and jewelry, among other things. Southwestern clothing and souvenirs are also available. Prices here are quite reasonable.Every weekend throughout the year, Native American dancers perform at 11am and 2pm in an outdoor arena surrounded by original murals. Often, artisans demonstrate their crafts there as well. During certain weeks of the year, such as the Balloon Fiesta, dances are performed daily.A restaurant serves traditional Native American foods. I wouldn't eat a full meal here, but it's a good place for some Indian fry bread and a bowl of posole.

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.

Rio Grande Zoo
More than 1,200 animals from 300 species live on 60 acres of riverside bosque among ancient cottonwoods. Open-moat exhibits with animals in naturalized habitats are a treat for zoo-goers. Major exhibits include polar bears, giraffes, sea lions (with underwater viewing), the cat walk, the bird show, and ape country, with gorillas and orangutans. The zoo has an especially fine collection of elephants, mountain lions, koalas, reptiles, and native Southwestern species. A children's petting zoo is open during the summer. There are numerous snack bars on the zoo grounds, and La Ventana Gift Shop carries film and souvenirs. Also check out the seal and sea lion feeding at 10:30am and 3:30pm daily and the summer Zoo Music Concert Series.

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
