During your Albuquerque vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Albuquerque Museum of Art and History
Take an interesting journey down into the caverns of New Mexico's past in this museum on the outskirts of Old Town. Drawing on the largest U.S. collection of Spanish colonial artifacts, displays here include Don Quixote-style helmets, swords, and horse armor. You can wander through an 18th-century house compound with adobe floor and walls, and see gear used by vaqueros, the original cowboys who came to the area in the 16th century. A weaving exhibition allows kids to try spinning wool, and a trapping section provides them with pelts to touch. In an old-style theater, two films on Albuquerque history are shown. In the History Hopscotch area, kids can explore an old trunk or play with antique blocks and other toys. An Old Town walking tour originates here at 11am Tuesday to Sunday during spring, summer, and fall. The upper floors house permanent art collections and, best of all, a huge exhibit space where you'll find some extraordinary shows. A gift shop sells books and jewelry and has a nice selection of Navajo dolls.
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.
American International Rattlesnake Museum
This unique museum, located just off Old Town Plaza, has living specimens of common, uncommon, and very rare rattlesnakes of North, Central, and South America in naturally landscaped habitats. Oddities such as albino and patternless rattlesnakes are included, as is a display popular with youngsters: baby rattlesnakes. More than 30 species can be seen, followed by a 7-minute film on this contributor to the ecological balance of our hemisphere. Throughout the museum are rattlesnake artifacts from early American history, Native American culture, medicine, the arts, and advertising. You'll also find a gift shop that specializes in Native American jewelry, T-shirts, and other memorabilia related to the natural world and the Southwest, all with an emphasis on rattlesnakes.

Very Convenient

Anonymous, Detroit, MI

Breakfast was included with the room and there was a Denny's right in front of the hotel. There were also coffee shops and fast food restaurants across the street in a strip mall. There were plenty of places to eat with just a short drive.

It was the perfect location. We had no trouble getting from the airport to the hotel. It was located close to the main east-west and north-south expressways. We were not very far from Old Town where we spent much of our time. The room was comfortable with two queen beds. It was very convenient having a desk and computer hook-ups available. We had trouble connecting to the web initially, but the front desk gave us a telephone number that we used as they coached us on how to set up the computer. We also appreciated having a coffee pot in the room as well as a delicious breakfast every day. The front desk personnel were very friendly and had suggestions for places to go and things to do in Albuquerque. We were very pleased with the accommodations.

great little hotel

Donald, Albuquerque, NM, 2006-10-05

There are two malls very close by for all of your shopping needs.

The La Quinta Inn was very comfortable. The room was a nice size, it was great to be able to have one person in the shower and another putting on their makeup. The location was excellent, that's why we chose this location. Perfect for visiting the malls and restaurants.

Too much traffic

Anonymous, Oakland, CA, 2006-08-19

It was just a quick walk to the Denny's restaurant across the parking lot. Freeway is easily accessible from this locaiton.

This hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico was somewhat comfortable, but would be better if there had been an elevator to the second floor. Difficult for me to get luggage up the stairs by myself.The room size was comfortable and bed was satisfactory. While the breakfast served in the front lobby was adequate and the lady working the front desk was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, but, as a woman travelling alone, I did not feel comfortable staying in this hotel.
