Good for overnight

This property, while old, is clean and well maintained, and has a good location right off the expressway, with easy access to restaurants and stores in the area. It is a good place for an overnight on the road, but I wouldn't really be comfortable staying here for a longer stay.

Great location and value

Visited during Thanksgiving week. Room ready early, cleaned quickly every day and spotlessly. The Inn is pet friendly which is a great plus and there was a small park 30 ft from our front door. Free continental + breakfast was nice though it should have lasted an hour longer. Property was quiet and the staff efficient. All in all a great value for the money.

Whether you need to be in the far Northeast heights or on the Westside. Old Town or the airport, all seem to be just minutes away.

Recently refurbished

This property has been upgraded since our last stay 4 or 5 months ago. Thicker mattresses, fluffier pillows and flat screen TV's which are much larger than the old ones. Our room was spotlessly clean and remained that way through our stay. The access to I-40 and I-25 made getting around Albuquerque a breeze. We would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for great value for the money.

Needed to be close to everything

We needed a handicap accessible room and it was ready at check in (usually a hotel/motel has forgotten that important detail). Handicap parking was directly in front of our door and the room was indeed as advertised. The room was clean and spacious. The continental breakfast was nice and well prepared and the Denny's restaurant on the premises offered a 10% discount with room key.The Wi-Fi worked fine also. All in all a good stay and very close to everything, especially the two interstates.

To Rest and Refresh

We stopped in Albuquerque for the day to visit with family for the day and needed a place to get a good night's sleep before before another day and another 800 miles of driving. Although the LaQuinta was next to I-40 the rooms were quiet and the beds were very comfortable and well made with good linen; so we were able to get well rested. The staff was friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast contained a good selection of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, pastry, juice and coffee. Although this was not the nicest facility I've stayed in and there were not adequate electrical outlets available for my computer and cell phone charger, I would stay there again.

good review

The location was perfect as a few feet away was the interstate enterance and exit, so it was easy to find. This is my 3rd time staying there and the front desk service was excellent.

Not good

The house keepers throw my train tickets away! We had to look thorough the trash to find them! Which made this a stressful trip. We stayed for 6 days and had to ask housekeeping to change the bedding. I will not stay at this hotel again!
