F.Y.I.

Overall, it was a good experience and stay. There were a few noticeable things that were not of great concern, however, would like to include for those who rely on the reviews of others to make the best decision for where they want to spend their time and money. The property will hopefully receive an upgrade to the exterior in the near future, however, my room looked clean and was the cleanest room I’ve stayed in thus far. The shower head in my room needed repair, as water would end up on the floor even while doing my best to prevent this with the shower curtain. (I did bring this to the attention of the *Staff member on site). My bed frame was very squeaky. (I mentioned this to the *Staff member on site.) The breakfast offered in my opinion was ok. The bananas offered during my stay were never ripe. Occasionally, I could hear voices and sounds through the walls. If you are a light sleeper, the traffic noise may be an issue. The laundry room was easy to access and use. There were clean sheets belonging to the property sprawled over the machines during my stay. The Staff (including the *Property Manager) were friendly and helpful as needed. There are plenty of decent eateries and shops nearby. You can also utilize the FREE bus service (bus stops are a short walking distance) to get around town. The people of Albuquerque who I encountered were both kind and friendly.

Greeted wonderfully and quick. Gave me a recommendation for steak dinner (The Monte Carlo) and it was really good! Great price and the only drawback was the loud cars racing up and down the street in front during the night.

We enjoyed our stay here at Sandia Peak Inn, even though an older property we were very impressed with all we were offered. Yes you do hear highway noise but we sleep with a white noise machine so we didn’t hear much! Great continental breakfast, waffles were delicious! Definitely will stay here again! Thanks for the recommendation of Monte Carlo for dinner, that too was very impressive! We’ll be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Slightly disappointing.

We arrived to find that the indoor pool was being cleaned and would be out of action. This was disappointing and if we'd known we would NOT have booked the 2 night stay. Lesson learned to check before booking a hotel because of an amenity. Then the first night we found ourselves next to a noisy, inconsiderate guest who kept us from having a good night's sleep. Apart from that, the hotel was good, clean and comfortable. Our advice is stay here, but check that the pool will be open, and ask to NOT be given a room next to one of their regular guests who leave their room every half hour for a cigarette (slamming their door no matter what time of night)!

Won’t stay here again

The property is very run down and out dated. The reason for closing this hotel was for the in room jacuzzi which ended up being a large bath tub, the jets didn’t work very well. The chair in the room was broken, missing a wheel, which I didn’t realize until I sat on it. Inside and out the hotel needs attention. When it came time to check out there was no one available at the front desk to speak with regarding the issues in the room or to get my receipt.

The place was fine for a night, but much of the property, furniture and decor is old, tired, torn or in need of a refresh: the heater was loud and woke us throughout the night; the bathroom fan rattled; the bed creaked loudly every time we got up; the bed topper was torn; the bathroom shower head leaked. The most disappointing part of our stay was the unkempt, unorthodox breakfast room and the way the breakfast was offered: a large container of peanut butter and jelly were placed out with a single metal butter knife; a gallon of whole milk sitting in the fridge whether for cereal or coffee. While fine for a family, a communal setting like a hotel needs attention to health standards and safeguards--it left me not wanting to eat. Choices were also limited, including no alternative but whole milk. Ultimately, I was surprised this was billed as a Howard Johnsons.
