Great and cute remodel. The rooms were clean. The parking lot was well lit. Pro tip: there are shades behind the sheers which you will appreciate to block out said well lit parking lot. We ate at the on site vegan place which was great. We used the 24 hour gym in the morning which was basic but good. (weights, 3 different cardio machines). All staff were prompt and friendly. Albuquerque is a frequent road trip halfway point and we would definitely stay here again. It is likely a little more expensive than other motels in the area but it is definitely worth it.

The room is beautiful and very very clean. My only complaint is there was almost no parking for regular cars. There are a few compact car spots but my vehicle cannot fit there. That definitely needs to be remedied. There should at least be enough parking spaces for the hotel guests. People who that are visiting for other reasons should be parking on the street.

The property is cute and cozy, I Iove to check out the remodeled motels in alb. The color scheme and theme in general, absolutely loved. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the super firm bed, felt like we were sleeping on the floor. Overall, great place and we enjoyed our stay.

This is such a hidden gem! Central location, close to lots of restaurants - many on site- and an easy drive to Old Town. Rooms are great - they thought of everything you'd need and it's newly updated. Asked for restaurant recommendations upon check in and OMG the two she recommended were phenomenal (Cocina Azul and M'Tuccis). Everyone we talked to on the property was kind and courteous and made our stay seamless.

Yasmani did a wonderful job preparing our room for us and I had great interactions with Noah the evening night clerk and morning clerk that made us a lovely latte and matcha. I can’t remember her name but she was stellar, very helpful.Very cute merchandise and all of the spaces were clean. I clean for a living. Great location for activities around the town, we experienced the chile drop about 10 minutes away. We can’t wait to return.
