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

Coronado State Monument
When the Spanish explorer Coronado traveled through this region in 1540-41 while searching for the Seven Cities of Cíbola, he wintered at a village on the west bank of the Rio Grande -- probably one located on the ruins of the ancient Anasazi Pueblo known as Kuaua. Those excavated ruins have been preserved in this state monument.Hundreds of rooms can be seen, and a kiva has been restored so that visitors can descend a ladder into the enclosed space, once the site of sacred rites. Unique multicolored murals, depicting human and animal forms, were found on successive layers of wall plaster in this and other kivas here; some examples are displayed in the monument's small archaeological museum.

Petroglyph National Monument
These lava flows were once a hunting and gathering area for prehistoric Native Americans, who left a chronicle of their beliefs etched on the dark basalt boulders. Some 25,000 petroglyphs provide a nice outdoor adventure after a morning in a museum. You'll want to stop at the visitor center to get a map, check out the interactive computer, and, in summer, hook up with a ranger-led tour. From there, you can drive north to the Boca Negra area, where you'll have a choice of three trails. Take the Mesa Point Trail (30 min.) that climbs quickly up the side of a hill, offering many petroglyph sightings as well as an outstanding view of the Sandia Mountains. If you're traveling with your dog, you can bring her along on the Rinconada Trail. Hikers can have fun searching the rocks for more petroglyphs; there are many yet to be found. This trail (located a few miles south of the visitor center) runs for miles around a huge rincon (corner) at the base of the lava flow. Camping is not permitted in the park; it's strictly for day use, with picnic areas, drinking water, and restrooms provided.

Rio Grande Nature Center State Park
Whenever I'm in Albuquerque and want to get away from it all, I come here. The center, located just a few miles north of Old Town, spans 270 acres of riverside forest and meadows that include stands of 100-year-old cottonwoods and a 3-acre pond. Located on the Rio Grande Flyway, an important migratory route for many birds, it's an excellent place to see sandhill cranes, Canadian geese, and quail -- more than 260 bird species have made this their temporary or permanent home. In a protected area where dogs aren't allowed (you can bring dogs on most of the 2 miles of trails), you'll find exhibits of native grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. Inside a building built half above and half below ground, you can sit next to the pond in a glassed-in viewing area and comfortably watch ducks and other birds in their avian antics. There are 21 self-guided interpretive exhibits as well as photo exhibits, a library, a small nature store, and a children's resource room. On Saturday mornings you can join a guided nature walk. Other weekend programs are available for adults and children, including nature photography and bird- and wildflower-identification classes. Call for a schedule.

great breakfasts

keri, Philadelphia, PA, 2006-05-29

The Plaza inn was easily accessible to the highway with lots of parking. My original room wasn't acceptable so the staff was accomodating in moving me to another. My second room had a nice balcony with a great sunset view of the mountains. The pool was nice; however, the outdoor hot tub wasn't working which was disappointing. The hotel provided a few unexpected treats during the day, popcorn teatime but my favorite was the fresh made waffles at breakfast. There were two, easy to use waffle irons the guests could operate. There was also a staff member available for the more timid bakers. Whenever I smell fresh waffles, I can't help but think of this trip.

relaxed atmosphere, professional staff

very close to downtown and old town, very easy to drive to and from

Overall the experience was good, friendly staff, comfortable place, pool and spa were great to have available. But I want to emphasize that overall I was very satisfied with the experience we had at this hotel and would stay there again for the same price.

My review of Plaza Inn Albuquerque

Anonymous, Albuquerque, NM, 2006-03-19

The location was OK for what we needed. But it was just not as clean as we thought it should have been, smelled bad in the room and halls. The only staff visible were the desk clerks, and both were helpful and nice.

My review of Plaza Inn Albuquerque

betty, West Palm Beach, FL, 2006-03-15

The Sandia Cassino provided a shuttle from the hotel to the cassino,which we thought was great and Old Town was close by with some great shopping and restaurants

PlazaInn Albuquerque was just minutes from the airport and provided a shuttle to the hotel.They also provided a shuttle to Old Town and anyplace 3 miles away.This was good for us since we did not rent a car for our short visit there.The room was comfortable,nothing lavish.Unfortunately they were doing some remodeling and we left the hotel early every day because of the hammering.

The "Grey and Shifty" Hotel

Donna, Minneapolis, MN, 2005-12-01

This was near the airport and near Old Route 66.

The Plaza Inn Albuquerque was a hotel that had limited parking spaces with difficulty checking in after midnight as all the doors were locked and it was difficult locating the front desk person to open the door when I was on the outside -- even after verbal confirmation eight hours before arrival. The room was dingy looking and the bed sagged in the middle. Pillows were very flat. The bathroom was clean and adequate. Even though I did not see a bug/roche, I felt that I could at any moment.

Great for Medical Stays

Paula, Roswell, NM, 2005-06-14

It is ideally located near medical facilities. We had a great time staying busy until it was appointment time for my son(7yrs). The central location was awesome for going to a variety of activities while in Albuquerque. It is however, somewhat difficult to see how to enter the property if it is your first time at this location.
