We took our family with small children to see the hot air ballooon festival, and we very much enjoyed the little touches like coloring pages and markers for the kids in the lobby. The staff was all very friendly and kind. The included breakfast was one of the best we’ve had at any hotel. Even the days we went to the festival super early, the hotel offered a grab and go breakfast which was awesome! The entire hotel and rooms were clean including the workout room, pool area, and lobby. We would definitely recommend especially for families!

Other reviews seem a bit unrealistic. This is a standard roadside suite hotel in a strip mall near the freeway. It’s not a 9.4. I had to call the front desk due to a large group of kids playing in the hallway running up and down yelling. They took care of it promptly to their credit. It seems safe but there is really nowhere to walk if you want to go for a stroll. Several chain restaurants are nearby within walking distance though. On the last morning the pipes froze which meant no water until 9am. This is true of basically every hotel in Albuquerque but there is moderate road noise. The heater was fairly loud as well. Breakfast was 1/2 notch above the usual but nothing special. I ended up getting my own bakery items after the first day and just got coffee and sausage at the hotel. So not bad but not anywhere I’d want to stay for more than 3 days.

This was such a wonderful place to stay, the staff was amazing and kind. They made Christmas traveling so delightful. The food was wonderful, the rooms were spotless, and the temperature was perfect for the cold nights. My children said that the beds were so comfortable that it was "like sleeping in cloud". We will likely come back to stay again!

The bathroom shower head was loose and had a lot of calcium build up. There were also loose fixtures and the towel bar was very far from the actual shower so not very functional. Some of the USB connections didn’t work for charging. The tissue and toilet paper are the lowest quality, scratchiest available. The breakfast meat options were not kept at a safe temperature so we couldn’t let our immune compromised child eat any of those. The rest of the breakfast was ok, nothing great. The room size was really spacious, so that was nice.

First the good: The Hotel and Room were very clean and updated. The Breakfast was very good. The Bad: A sofa in the same room does not make it a suite. A Glass Door on the Bathroom???? Even frosted iot was like turning on a light in the bedroom. Terrible. The AC/Heating made a very load noise off and on all night. Woke us up every time. Thr breakfast bar ran out of items and was not restocked because there was not more. We will not stay here again.

This hotel states that "all our rooms are suites". This implies 2 separate sleeping quarters. This is not what we received. What we got was a single hotel room wtih 2 queen beds and a trundle day bed -- all in one sleeping quarter. We ended up with 5 adults in one not-really-a-suite. In addition to this, the sink, toilet, and shower are all inside the bathroom (vs having a separate door for the toilet area). So we had 5 adults waiting to use 1 bathroom for individual hygiene. In addition to this the bathroom door is NOT OPAQUE. It's frosted glass! Let me repeat -- the door to the bathroom is frosted glass. So we had 4 adults in a room looking at the shadows of the person in the bathroom doing their hygiene routine. At night, we had 1 adult USING THE RESTROOM DURING THE NIGHT, TURNING ON THE LIGHT IN THE RESTROOM AND ILLUMINATING 4 adults sleeping in the not-really-a-suite hotel room! Who on earth thought a frosted glass bathroom door was a good idea??? In a room you are advertising as a suite??? This room (not really a suite) was not functional to accommodate anyone beyond 2 adults in a very comfortable relationship.
