The hotel was great, it´s going through some renovations so I´m sure it will improve once it´s finished. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a nice selection. Nice location, and safe.

Breakfast was good, but, wasn't stocked in a very timely manner. Staff seemed more preoccupied with their phones and balloons. Room seemed very overpriced in comparison with amenities and condition of room. It was probably priced this way in concert with the Balloon Festival that was going on.

The staff were EXCELLENT!!! Hotel had everything needed. The only complaint was they advertised a hot tub and it was shut down the entire visit. The breakfast and amenities were great for the price. Clean rooms.

Property was under renovations so not in top condition. Room was a suite so we appreciated the extra space. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Location was convenient as we had early reservation for the Sandia Tram in the morning.

It’s a mess under renovation

This hotel is being renovated. It is a mess. The breakfast was not good The eggs tasted like plastic and all of the bread products were dried out . It would have been nice to know that they are being renovated and in a big mess before we booked it. Hopefully they can get it put back together and serve a edible breakfast

Good service by staff. Good breakfast. T.v. was good. Clean room overall. A bit runned down tho. The room we stayed had carpet stains. Overall, better than the Comfort Inn on Alameda in Albuquerque.
