What guests think

Across recent reviews of Quality Inn & Suites Albuquerque Midtown - University Area, guests describe a budget stay with generally helpful staff, but frequent issues with maintenance and cleanliness, security concerns, noticeable noise, and a gritty surrounding area.

Many appreciate the gated parking and straightforward interstate access. Breakfast draws frequent praise, often for the green chile stew, but some days feel average. Recurring complaints include pests, broken exterior doors and gates, closed or dirty pool/hot tub, unreliable Wi‑Fi, and strict deposit/local‑guest policies with slow refunds. Rooms are often spacious with comfortable beds, but decor is dated and upkeep varies widely. Expect basic value with trade‑offs, especially if you’re sensitive to cleanliness or security.

Don’t stay here! Following are some of the problems we had: sheets were stained and when we complained we were given a new set and we had to change them ourselves, the desk chair was stained, a leftover cup was in the refrigerator, the floor was sticky throughout the room, there were stains on the walls and door, the spout in the shower was delicate and about to break, the room smelled, there is no service to your room unless you stay more than 3 days so the trash piled up, the door stuck and had to be slammed shut and pushed open with one’s entire body weight. We complained about the problems and were offered to switch rooms the following day but we never had time to pack everything back up to move. The area is super sketchy outside and the “security” gates didn’t always work. Additionally, the outside doors were all broken so it wasn’t really secure as anyone could walk in (there was a rock propping it open). The pool was dirty and closed. Even though it’s only two floors, they do NOT have an elevator. The breakfast was mediocre at best.

We checked into a room. The bathroom had a pair of panties and really used wash cloth hanging on the shower rod. We got another room right away. (Good service) the beds were comfortable. The chair in the room was almost comfortable enough to sleep in. We couldn't access the pool because of flooding around the pool. The "security"fence was broken So much for the secure parking. Everything seem to be broken. None of the outer doors were secure either. Didn't feel particularly safe.

The hotel is very nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hot breakfast was good and always a nice perk. But I must say that the Wi-Fi was absolutely horrible. Often we couldn’t even connect. When we were able to connect it was slow and unpredictable. We had to use our hotspot on our phones for everything. If you need good Wi-Fi you will have to look elsewhere.

When I checked in the Internet was down and the clerk checked me in on her cell phone. She said the night crew would provide my receipt. When I checked out two days later a different clerk at the desk said she couldn't do it because my reservation was made through a third party. We went for hours without Internet and since the TV was a Roku set, we didn't have TV either. The next morning I tried the TV and still had no Internet . I called the desk and requested maintenance take a look at it . We left and returned about 5 hours later. Still no Internet. I called the desk and she said the maintenance man would be there right away. He reset the TV and left but then only one channel was working. I figured out the problem myself and got the TV working again. Everything else was good but I vote no confidence for their customer service. When I return home I'll need to chase down my receipt.

The GOOD: -- Beds were clean and comfortable. -- Breakfast was reasonably good with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and cubed potatoes for hot items, as well as green chili stew, which was tasty. Other items: toast, bagels, yogurt, waffles, cold and hot cereal, whole apples. The BAD: -- My white socks were black after 15 minutes of walking around on faux wood floor, which was uneven in several places. -- A/C did a poor job of cooling the room, which I discovered was mainly due to a FILTHY filter, which I cleaned myself and reinstalled. Room felt marginally cooler afterward. -- Bathroom fan vent was a decoration (no fan switch) -- Wallpaper was peeling up near floor in several places. -- No window screen, so couldn't open to let fresh air in. -- One key card didn't work. Had front desk re-initialize it. Still didn't work. -- Gravel-covered area near side entrance had several pieces of trash and numerous piles of dog droppings.

The young lady that checked us in was very nice & quick. The poolside was awesome! Loved the view sitting outside.The beds & pillows were very comfortable. The room was clean but i think they need mop the floor better. The floor was sticky & dirty. I like to walk barefoot, that's how i noticed. When i got in the shower, the bottoms of my feet were dirty black in the tub! Plus the bathroom area smelled of stale pee. 🙁 Didn't get a chance to have breakfast. Love their breakfast 😋 The stay was worth the money. 😉

Staff was nice no issues there. When you walk in though there’s an overwhelming clean smell of bleach mixed with something else and that’s throughout the whole building. You have to get use to the smell for it to “go away”. I killed 3 cockroaches in my room. I know they are all over in general being New Mexico . But they highly need to spray or bomb the place. In the morning when I woke up and moved my covers there was a small one in my bed. I felt very dirty. I didn’t give a one star due to the staff.

Also the air conditioner kept turning off (not at the temperature that was set, it would just turn off randomly)

While the location is convenient to the freeway, our hotel room was very dirty. My husband found several hairs that did not belong to either of us throughout the room. On the toilet seat, in the shower curtain, and in the bed sheets. There was very loud banging on our door and yelling in the hallway around our room throughout all hours of the night. We only stayed here one night, so it wasn't the worst, but we would not stay here again.

This was a last min booking, we got a deal on an great price. Our check in was fast and simple. Our room was on the second floor over looking their courtyard and pool. Room was spacious and couch was super comfy. Only two thing I can say bad about it is that the floor boards, even though were new weren't correctly installed. You could feel them lift off the existing floor when walking around. Plus the bed was to soft. But other than that it was good. Breakfast was a good buffet type meal with eggs, potatoes, chili stew, waffles, cereal, and all the other little good stuff. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel does not rent to people who live in the same city. They state they put this on the website when they make the booking, but yet still allow you to make a booking in the first place. I showed up expecting a room and was told they would not rent to me and that I would be refunded. I still have not been refunded as of this morning and the fees from the booking online are gone for good. This hotel stole money and time from me and hid behind the fine print. Do not book with them, if this is a policy and the way they treat people in their own city, I can’t imagine they will treat travelers any better.

I had a terrible experience staying at the Quality Inn in Albuquerque. After driving for 10 hours, I arrived at the hotel around 2:40 PM, but the front desk refused to let me check in until exactly 3:00 PM. I was staying for three nights, and not once did they clean the room or replace towels. I asked twice for fresh towels and never received them—I had to go to the front desk and get them myself. The bathroom was missing soap and shampoo, and even after requesting them, they were never provided. The staff were loud in the early mornings, yelling and chatting through their walkie-talkies right outside the rooms. It made it impossible to rest. The hotel itself is old, poorly maintained, and feels very run-down and rusty. I would not recommend this place to anyone and will not be staying here again.

My room phone never worked, the tv remote never worked. I talked to the girl at night and she just handed me some batteries to put in it but, that didn't fix it. There's no bar even though the add said so, no shuttle, my toilet wouldn't flush, at night, the front desk girls absolutely refuse to answer the dam phone so you have to walk to the front for everything. I had to call the reservation line 23 times to connect me to the front desk because she just kept hanging up on me. They advise a breakfast but its not worth waking up for. ALL day, you can hear the cleaning staff outside your door yelling and talking loudly to each other down the hallway, it never ends.

We had the worst experience with the front staff every day that I stayed I had to walk up to the reception because my key wouldn’t work every time we would leave and come back to our room. They also told me they had an incident with my room that they had given the same room to another person and they had when into my room and seen it was occupied and I told them how was this possible and they had better hope all my stuff was not missing. The next day same thing my key wouldn’t work so I told them what is the issue why do keep messing with my door key and they responded with if we don’t like it to find another hotel I was so shocked by their response and behavior I had told them we wanted a different room which they refused and asked for a full refund and they also refused to do so. It was our first time visiting Albuquerque and after their horrible service I will definitely not be returning to stay at any Quality Inn Hotels anymore.

Location

Right off the interstate and near hospitals and the university, the location is convenient for drivers. Many guests caution that the surrounding area feels unsafe with visible homelessness, so most prefer using the gated lot instead of walking.

I appreciated the gated parking and felt more secure with the gated access. The exterior door 'D' that I used had a broken lock and was open 24/7, so the gated parking made a big difference in my experience. I also found the location to have quick access to the interstate, so commutes were not bad. There were several restaurants nearby, as was the University. Overall, very happy with the experience and price.

My room was clean. The breakfast was pleasant and well prepared, though the building as a whole was a work in progress and so was the surrounding area. The approximate area was a haven for what seemed to be drug abuse as the intoxicated homeless shout at traffic and hang around the inn and surrounding buildings. Nobody want to be asked for a dollar at a gas station only to be shoed when fled off with some jerkey. Stick to your guns in those parts.
