Room not clean pool had no lights on fire alarm went off early in the morning rude staff
Room beds were a little lob sided but alright. It's good that there is a bar and grill right down stairs. I think they could stay open a little later.
The room is very comfortable. No problems checking in. Everything was ready when we arrived.
Decent hotel but I did not care for the location. The moon was fine but the bed was way too firm and I had trouble sleeping.
Excellent location. Staff is very nice. Property is dated. They were installing nice new carpet when we were there, Heater was either too cold or hot and noisy. Electric overload caused TV to blink off whenever heat or fridge kicked in. They did tell me they will fix this.
Enjoyed our stay. Everything was very nice. Close to the national park.
Easy to find, close to restaurants, and a good place anybody.
Stayed three nights for a family reunion. Everything you would expect (In a good way) from a hotel in this price range. The restaurant was a great compliment to this property. Free coupon for breakfasts was nice; rest of the menu was fine. Room service great. Front desk staff was professional and helpful. Rooms clean and comfortable with a NM design motif.
Clean, great room, pet friendly, and great location to food.
I don't typically stop in large cities when I drive cross country. I feel it is less safe, especially when I'm alone. But driving through the desert, I knew my options may be limited, so I stopped here. The parking lot was secure, fenced. Near the interstate. Easy access. Clean. Friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Nice breakfast.
Great location!! We stopped in Old Town Albuquerque for a night during a 2 week road trip and found the Best Western Rio Grande to be exactly what we were hoping for - easy to find, close walk to town, super comfy bed, exceptionally friendly staff, very clean rooms. We will stay again when in the area!
Very nice hotel near the freeway and the old historical district. The made-to-order breakfast was top notch. We would stay there again.
Spacious room with large bathroom with Rollin shower for wheelchair. Excellent arrangement.
Right off of I-40, close to old town, many tourist attractions. Great staff, helpful and friendly. Good food, reasonably priced, nice bar. Comfortable beds, clean, well maintained. My only complaint it no laundry facility for guests. They do have valet service for laundry and dry cleaning but it is way too expensive.
Nice staff. Very good location. Rooms always cleaned well. Showing its age a bit. Didn't use restaurant. Breakfast vouchers can be used in bar or any food items. That's nice. Quite a few dogs in hotel. (I'm not a dog person.) Really no complaints about the place. We've stayed several times. Very predictable and good price.
Very happy. Nice and clean. No weird hotel smell to it. Pleasant staff. Short ride to Old Town. Close to a highway. Would definitely use again.
Good value for money. Clean and very helpful and friendly staff
Rooms were very good, and bed comfortable. Staff were always pleasant. Wi Fi reception very poor on the fourth floor. Were quite amazed one morning at breakfast, when the gentleman clearing tables dropped a bottle of tomato ketchup on the floor and it broke and splattered on the floor with broken glass, but he didn't clear it up. It was still there half an hour later when we had finished and people had to walk around it!
We had a change in travel plans and needed a place to stay the night before going to the Balloon Fiesta. We made our reservations on line and hoped that we would not be disappointed. The hotel was easy to find, right off Interstate 4. The girl that checked us in was very friendly and explained everything in detail, including the food vouchers for the restaurant. I felt very safe staying there the grounds were very secure. The room was clean and had everything we needed for the night. If we were staying in the area again we would certainly consider the Best Western Plus.
The hotel had a great location and met all expectations
