This place was pretty sketchy. we did not feel comfortable carrying our stuff up narrow outdated stairs pass the dope smokers and did not feel the room lived up to the images. We were told to park in the back and that there was security, but discovered there was no where to drive our trailer with out backing up. The front desk couldn't find the key to the gate. We eventually escaped to another hotel.

Check in was easy and the guy was nice. The hotel, however is really very basic. No blanket, towels are extremely thin like paper, no small refrigerator, AC is noisy. Urgent need for upgrade

We were driving 12 hours each day on our road trip back home from CA with our 2 well traveled dogs. We chose this motel for the location just off the highway, economical pricing and pet friendly policy. The room itself was decent with no bugs or odors. Upon our late check in at 9pm, we checked in easily, but soon had to return to the office to ask for a roll of toilet tissue as the room did not have any. What I liked: location; off freeway near food/gas. Price, cheap with no pet fees. We got what we wanted from this motel, a place to sleep, so it served its purpose. Would we stay again? No, because there are other options. But if it were the only motel, guess we would have a choice. We ate a late meal, watched some tv, slept and freshened up for our departure at 7am. No frills hotel - no shampoo/conditioner, no coffee maker, no microwave/refrigerator but we knew that ahead and didn’t need those things since we bought dinner and travel with an ice chest.

Well for starters, there was literally someone getting arrested on the property when we arrived to check in. Then when we got to our room, it reeked of cigarettes, the towels were either stained or dirty, and there were bugs in the bathroom. Plus there was nowhere to take my dog outside. We didn't end up staying the night, and I can't say I recommend it.

We should not have been given this room. There was an awful smell like dead fish as soon as we entered and flies were everywhere. There was clearly a ton of water damage in the ceiling above the shower. It was bowing so much that it was about to break. The bathroom floor had water all over it that had leaked from the room above us. It smelled strongly of urine. We left without staying the night.

There are so many cockroaches in the room, some small, some big. Unbelievable! My friend was too scared to sleep in bed, so that he spent the night in the car. Only three lights in the room, but two of them were broken. It is ~$211/ night, but this condition is terrible .

We needed a quick one night stay in our pass through Albuquerque. This place was gross, it smelled of cigarettes and was so dirty. The ac had mold and the sheets had burn holes in them. Homeless people everywhere, one even tried to sell my girlfriend drugs. Did not feel safe and would not recommend this place to anyone, even if it’s a quick night stay.

Front desk woke us up at 5 am with a call stating we were making too much noise. Told them we were sound asleep. Said it was us. Hard to fall back asleep. Traveling cross country. Sleep is precious. checkout extraordinarily rude woman at front desk, the same who called yelled at us and said it was us and told us to get out. To top it off there was a ring of mold around tub. Disgusting. I have never had someone behave so rudely.

No bath towels. No Kleenex. No shampoo. Several outlets didn’t work and were dangerous. A weed party was being held outside the front of the room right next to us. The floor was so filthy that the bottoms of our feet were black with dirt. It’s really a flop house for drug users.

We found the room to be run down and needing repairs. There was a plug-in that was not safe hanging out from the wall and didn't work anyway. There was no Wifi that worked, only one washrag and 1 hand towel. No shampoo. To top it off, the ice bucket had a leak and wet the items we had placed on the dresser. We will be more careful if we stay at Motel 6 again on future trips.

Room was decent, however, this was the most bare bones hotel I’ve ever stayed in. There is no shampoo, cream rinse, hair dryer, etc….literally only amenity in the room is a tiny bar of soap. The towels were like the rags and so thin you could hold them up and see through them. There was what looked like a usb port on the night table but it didn’t fit a usb cable so not sure what it was for. The internet wouldn’t hook up. Whenever I tried, it would just spin and never connect. The staff were friendly, the hotel room was modern looking per the pictures. I stayed here for the Ballon Fiesta so it served its purpose.

Overall, you get what you pay for, but this place isn’t too bad. There were no bedbugs and I only saw one baby roach in the toilet. The countertop was new on the sink and looked nice. The bedding looked clean and newish, but there is no comforter, the blanket is thin. The bed isn’t super supportive and we woke up with back stiffness. The floors are so thin if someone walks by outside you can feel it in your room. The walls are thin and you can clearly hear people next door and outside. There are definitely people loitering around and homeless people around. The room had a working mini fridge, which was convenient. But it was clean, the outside was well lit, check in and out was smooth and easy, it was budget priced, and worked for a one night overnight stay on a road trip.

It was very secluded with only 2 restaurants near the property. I wasn’t aware of the Walgreens several blocks down the road. What I liked about being secluded is that it was quiet. No late night partiers or activities making noise outside my door. That made for a good, undisturbed sleep.

I spend a lot of time on the road for work, and often in motel 6 to save a couple bucks, so I knew what I was getting into... except the stuck me in to poorly lit back of the hotel, next to the fence with a blatant hole cut in it with a near constant stream of crackheads coming through it at all hours. Not sure if they were buying or selling, but any guest expects a reasonable amount of safety during their stay, and this was a -3 safety rating. I'll let many things slide, but not caring for the safety of your guests isn't one of them. Fix the fence and give the place a good cleaning and it wouldn't be half bad, it's a shame they let it go so far.

This place was extremely run down and in an unsafe part of Albuquerque. There was a security guard at the one parking lot entrance after dark in a sketchy car. Don’t let the inflated prices during events (such as balloon fest) trick you into thinking this is an acceptable hotel to stay in.
