What guests think

Across recent reviews, ARRIVE Albuquerque stands out for friendly staff, clean retro-styled rooms, a lively pool scene, and a convenient downtown setting, while recurring complaints focus on heavy street noise, paid valet-only parking, and no in-room coffee.

Travelers highlight the mid-century look and very comfortable beds. Many appreciate the Saturday farmers market steps away, while some find the immediate area feels sketchy. Dining and cocktails receive strong feedback, though menus can feel limited and minibar water is expensive. Expect a stylish, central stay best for guests comfortable with an energetic urban vibe.

My husband and I only stayed in Albuquerque for one night prior to flying home and Arrive was a perfect choice for our lodging. The room was impeccably designed and whatever mattress they use was wonderful. We slept like babies. We also really enjoyed spending a couple hours by the pool. The poolside service was very convenient and the drinks were great. Next time we stay we'd love to try the restaurant as well. Highly recommended!

They did not disclose that they had only valet parking for $25 per night or else you had to park out on the street. The neighborhood is not really safe for a single woman coming back after dark to park on the street. Hotel should be clear about parking arrangements before guests make a reservation

I was surprised about the extra fee to pay for parking with valet service. It seemed ARRIVE was trying to act like a high-end hotel though it is clearly a family hotel …and very comfortable. I might understand having to pay for parking, but the valet service seems unnecessary.

The hotel was right across the street from a small park that had so many homeless people. The only parking was next to the park with druggies/homeless people so we had to valet for $28 a night. And I use “valet” loosely. The valet attendant gave me my keys to walk to the back parking lot to get my car the first night. Don’t call it valet if you have to get your own car. The floor of the room was very dirty. It was windy and was probably blown in from outside; nonetheless, it was very dirty.

No parking unless you pay $25 valet parking each night- but you can park across the street next to a homeless camp. Plus rooms have no amenities except $6 candy bars and $10 beers. Plus no luggage rack for your luggage. Bathroom had black hairs all over it plus the floor had dog hair EVERYWHERE! And few lights- the room was so dark!

Rooms

Stylish mid-century rooms with very comfortable beds, though layouts can feel tight with design quirks (barn-door bathrooms, low platform beds). Street and corridor noise are common, and fridges are minibar-only with no in-room coffee or microwave.

Great room in a great place - liked the retro vibe and everything in the room was great. Nice coffee shop around the corner (Sammy's). Overall, best place I stayed in a 10-day stretch - the only down side was how noisy it was being right on Central/Route 66. Revving engines until well after midnight every night for 3 nights. Earplugs are supplied, but not ideal. If the noise doesn't bother you, I'd recommend.

We had a great five night stay here. The bed was super comfortable and the staff were all extremely friendly. The pool area is nice. We spent time there four times. We had great service from the restaurant two days, but for some reason, none the other two times. The location is on busy Central Avenue. You will get noise on cruising nights (Sunday), but died down by 10:30. Only room complaints were no fridge (other than mini bar) and not much closet space (only four hangers). Would definitely stay again.

The room looked as described, it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I consider this to be most important and with that beign said... there are other things that could improve or hopefully help someone else make a decision. the valet service was not efficient, they took forever to get the car, but I don't think it is the workers fault, it is the system. They wait for you to tip online before they get the car. Our rooms were on the 6th floor, facing west, we stayed Fri-Sat nights. It was very loud at night, cars, people, sirens at times. I recommend a noise machine and earplugs. The fridge is stuffed with mini bar items, so there was no room for our stuff. We did not get to enjoy the pool since we were not there long, but it did look very nice. The property itself did feel safe-ish, with security on site. The area was nice, surrounded by a lot of activity at night.

Horrible bathroom situation - door is a barn door type that hangs on a rod and does not shut tight. It has frosted glass that really is almost transparent. No fan - all of this leading to NO privacy. There was NO coffee pot and the hotel restuarant did not open until 7 am and did not have room service. We need coffee earlier than 7 am. The bed is a wooden platform-type that, while popular in modern homes, is not good for a small hotel room. I had bruises on both legs trying to move about the room. Parking was expensive for Albuquerque (it's not New York, after all). Noisy - they keepd music blaring by the pool until 10 pm even when it's cool and no one is out there.The area was very noisy with cars racing through the night nearby. On the positive side - The location was nice in terms of ability to walk to restaurants/breweries. I like the soap dish in the bathroom rather than having to use the paper wrapper to hold the hand soap. They were kind enough to provide ear plugs, which were clearly needed. We will never stay their again.

Imagine if an old hotel was made retro by some Gen Z-ers and you have ARRIVE. It’s cute and kitschy. Comfortable and quiet. There was a baby in the room next door and we didn’t hear a peep. My only complaints are that they wouldn’t serve my 21-yr-old daughter a cocktail in the bar (because her ID was vertical though she turned 21 8 months ago) and the bed is maiming. The corner of the bed frame sticks out enough for both my daughter and I to get bruises just walking by it. They might want to look into that.

We only stayed overnight for a road trip stop and it was the best choice we could’ve made. The hotel was so cute and aesthetic. But the service we received was the best part. We checked in in the evening on 2/19 and Sariah at the front desk was a literal angel. As well as the 2 guys working Valet. It was Jeff and one other person. The hotel security guard who was from Dallas was also so great. This is the 3rd Pali Property I’ve stayed at and I will always continue with this company because of the service and standard they consistently meet. 12/10 every time

Another visit to this beautiful property in downtown Albuquerque close to all the action. We were in town for the Balloon Fiesta so there was a lot going on, but sleeping in the comfortable bed and the cozy room definitely helped us rest and recharge. We loved the drinks at the DWTNR Cocktail Bar & Lounge and were pleasantly surprised with the Farmer's Market right outside the front doors on Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and super helpful and we can't wait to stay here again.

Our criticisms are as follows; the neighborhood is sketchy and pretty deserted, a lot of homeless people. There is no cable TV, There is no coffee set up in the rooms for guests to enjoy in the morning. The coffee they served downstairs is for sale not complementary.

Great remodel, excellent food at restaurant, friendly staff, comfy new rooms. Safe valet $25 a night (do not park on the street). No coffee in rooms or lobby ($4 cup at restaurant), homeless everywhere outside, half door showers, loud road (located on central so expected). All in all great spot for adults, it’s kid friendly but the downtown is so dangerous and full of homeless with nothing for kids to do walking distance. Awesome pool, beautiful hip hotel, cool murals, Bring your own kettle and coffee! They’re still working out the kinks but they are doing a great job!
