10/10 Excellent
"I liked the king sized bed, the new shower with rainwater showerhead, and the bathroom vanity. The breakfast included fresh made breakfast burritos which were tasty, quite an upgrade from Holiday Inn Express buffet options. My wife and I stayed two nights during the Albuquerque balloon festival and enjoyed the nearby restaurants, especially Escondido's rooftop seating at sunset. This property has been modernized and was comfortable. Coyote South exceeded expectations."
