The room was not friendly. No place to set luggage for accessibility. No waste containers. Nice bathroom but the main room was cramped. Very noisy place. Shelf over toilet was a multi-time head knocker. Food availability very limited and expensive. Do not recommend staying in Old Town Albuquerque.

The Arrive was well apportioned: room, pool, restaurant, bar etc. The problem was the constant loud music from downstairs way past 10 pm and the surrounding area: too many cars/trucks revving their engines; sirens and someone screaming until the police showed up.

Loved the retro vibe and since the hotel is relatively new, it didn't feel like the place was run down, which great. Staff were nice, even at 4am when I went to use the gym. Gym was small yet functional. Grown Alchemist products in the room were a nice touch. In room steamer for clothes were a lifesaver. Didn't touch the mini bar because $13 bottle water is laughable. Went to the market to buy snacks for the room instead. The price isn't justified when other amenities like coffee are severely lacking. The biggest letdown is the lack of hot water for tea/coffee in the room and lobby. Java Joe's is in walking distance and the restaurant within the hotel that opens at 7am has coffee and tea. I will not return here nor recommend to others based on this alone.

Nice inside just noisy

It’s a cute retro motel type place with a great view and nice location. Beds were comfortable. The one problem is street noise and thin walls. They do supply earplugs which worked for me but the noise kept my daughter awake. The little restaurant had wonderful tacos and burgers and everyone was super friendly and helpful

Bad night

Noise from the pool was so loud we didn’t get to sleep until after midnight. Then about 1 am drag racing started on the street outside. Squealing tires and revving motors until 1:30. At 2 a drunk woman was banging on the next door room yelling to be let in. Not a restful night.

Lovely, boutique. We didn’t use the valet because we have a Tesla but didn’t have our key card and they wouldn’t take the car without the card. Street parking felt a little sketchy in this neighborhood but it ended up being fine!

My husband and I only stayed in Albuquerque for one night prior to flying home and Arrive was a perfect choice for our lodging. The room was impeccably designed and whatever mattress they use was wonderful. We slept like babies. We also really enjoyed spending a couple hours by the pool. The poolside service was very convenient and the drinks were great. Next time we stay we'd love to try the restaurant as well. Highly recommended!

This is such a wonderful stay! Right outside of our hotel was a farmers market which was a nice treat. The drinks and staff were great. We took our 2 year old with us unaware that it was pride week and everyone was so respectful and kind when he was around! I adore the environment and the people who stayed during our stay.

Looks cool but beware no sleep.

All the great remodeling cannot make up for drag racing all night and a scary neighborhood. The last of the drag noise was about 4 am. Also the bed was so soft it was uncomfortable. Parking at $25 for an outside lot seemed excessive. I went out to take a walk in the morning and quickly realized the neighborhood had a lot of homeless people and it felt very uncomfortable. All the residential homes had bars in windows and doors. The front desk seemed unphased about the drag racing like “so what else is new.”

Cute and updated hotel, please be aware of the park in front of the hotel A LOT of house less people. I made sure to pay for parking inside the hotel because of it. I’m so glad I did because we were awaken serval times with the consent people trying to get into cars. Keep in mind this is down town ALBQ, so we knew there would be nightlife going on till the late hours. Honestly the noise did not stop till 5:00 am. The hotel does give you ear pugs because of it. The room walls are extremely thin so you can hear EVERYTHING!!! We got no sleep, not the best experience. Very hotel not the best stay.
