Very Pleased

I needed a place to stay close to the airport for just one night. The front desk was a pleasant experience. I did need to remind them that I needed a crib, but they delivered it after being asked, plus they delivered a bag I had left on the counter. Room was comfortable and clean. It's very close to the airport and as close as you can get to the rental car return.

Great Airport Hotel

We spent the night here because we had an early flight. The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were even able to provide parking for us while we were on our trip at a fraction of the cost at the airport. The shuttle that picked us up from the airport met us at baggage claim about 10 minutes after we called them - great!! I recommend this hotel to anyone, whether needing close access to airport or just visiting Albuquerque.

Good start

Never been to New Mexico. My wife and I enjoyed the time we spent. The hotel for us was a central spot to start your day of traveling to any direction.

Great for a weary traveler

They worked great with us when our plane came in late and even though we had already missed our original check-in time they reinstated our stay and were ready for us when we arrived tired and frustrated. They honored our desire to not have anyone enter our room during our stay, and the manager spoke with us while we were there and promised to look into a fix for the problem with the water temp in the shower (was too hot and wouldn't adjust down without us first turning the water all the way to cold). Wish I had the time to try the pool/Jacuzzi and work out room.

Not up to the standard I have come to expect from Holiday Inn Express. The bathroom and shower were obviously not cleaned properly after the previous guests. I was glad I saw it before my wife did. It is about time for a remodel also. My experience will cause me to think twice before I stay there again.
