Guest was my son (adult) but I was paying for the room. Even though I pre-paid through Expedia, they still asked my son for a deposit, which was returned when he left. Also, upon receiving the room, the toilet was dirty, like recently used, and my son had to ask the staff for a cleaning.

This is about Best Choice motel in Albuquerque. We stayed one night out of two because the next day we could not get back to the motel because of a massive drug bust that lasted 5 hours. The DEA has been watching for several weeks. Please take this motel off your list of places to stay.

This place was Terrible! I booked a different reservation with Orbitz and that one was sold out. So Orbitz booked this one for me and gave me a $25 discount. Total cost around $50. When I arrived at this horrendous location in the middle of a very bad area, there was a woman and 2 large men standing in front of the front office door at 11pm It looked like a prostitute with the outfit that was worn. Called Orbitz and said NO WAY I am ever staying there. They called and the female outside the front door was the Clerk on duty! The hotel refused to give me a refund and orbitz did nothing about it. Also ORBITZ the hotel has a sign out front $29.99 a night why are you charging $75? Rip Off trash run down hotel. I will attempt to get a refund through AMEX. DO NOT EVER EVER stay here unless you want drugs and prostitutes, Drunks walking around the street. It is a very bad hotel in a bad part of town.

They open and enter your room at 2:00 AM! We called 911 because of the "Manager's" breaking in. While we were waiting for the policeman, we saw him keep opening the doors of other rooms. So terribel, scared and wierd. Finally we had to check out at 4:00 AM to ensure our safety!
