Top Sandia Lakes Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Albuquerque North/Journal Center

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this property was excellent. The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom especially was large with a big countertop that provided lots of space for my wife and me. The evening staff when we checked in was so friendly and helpful and continued to be attentive during our entire stay. But, what impressed us most was the quality of the breakfast. So many hotels offer free breakfast but the quality is poor. This breakfast was plentiful and tasted delicious. Finally, the detail that cannot go unnoticed was that we stayed to attend the International Balloon Fiesta and the hotel put out a special "to go" breakfast each morning at 4:00 a.m., which is perfect for our departure to go see the activities at the Fiesta. An extra touch by the staff that meant a great deal to us. Thank you!"

"The Best Western was a great place to stay. The evening front desk lady was very friendly, informative, and helpful. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was very comfortable. The hot breakfast had a lot of variety. The hotel was a great location for the Balloon Fiesta — close proximity to the park and you could view the balloons in the morning right outside the hotel. Would definitely stay there again when back in Albuquerque."
