Luis

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were very rude. The room was not clean and they didn’t clean it while we stayed in the motel (3)days. My wife forgot her Apple Watch; her phone app shows that the Apple Watch still in the Motel. We asked for the Apple Watch to be returned to us and they told us that they didn’t find anything in the room. That is unacceptable

This property is very nice. The room was comfortable and large. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's within walking distance to Old Town which is great! The Botanical Gardens are across the street. There's a lovely pool with comfortable seating. The hotel has a tap room, so if you like a beer at the end of the day, it's perfect. There's also a great place for a delicious yogurt breakfast right on the property. I really enjoyed that!

There's an interesting U-turn required to get into the parking lot. The property is surrounded by small shops. Once inside the reception area, we found very friendly staff who were able to help us navigate the property and also provided restaurant recommendations in the area. They also provided to each adult a complimentary welcome drink at the bar. The style of the motel is awesome...lots of great updates! The room was a nice size.

Stylish and comfortable

Fantastic place to stay in ABQ. Not far from downtown. The units have a very cool retro vibe clustered around the cute pool. Nice bar and friendly service. Only small feedback is that the rooms are a little dark and could do with some overhead lighting. Overall very comfy :)

Lovely hotel. Rooms beautifully renovated. Clean and comfortable. Outside areas clean and attractive. Lovely seating areas. Pool looked nicenut not heated and too cold to use this time of year. There are nearby eating options but we stayed on a Sunday night so they were limited. Rooms are a bit pricey, especially as there is no breakfast provided, not even a few snacks. You do get a free drink in the bar.There was coffee in the lobby, but that wasn't great. It is situated on a very busy, noisy road but our room was far enough away that we got a good night's sleep.
