What guests think

At Rodeway Inn Albuquerque Downtown on Rt 66, many guests praise the genuinely friendly staff and solid value, while noting that the property and rooms are older and fairly basic for a short, no-frills stay.

Reviews frequently highlight comfortable beds and hot water, but cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of stained linens, dirty floors, and occasional odors. The location is practical for quick stops and transit, yet several guests felt uneasy at night and mentioned road or siren noise. Facilities are minimal, with convenient parking and an outdoor pool, plus some complaints about paid ice and limited in-room amenities or maintenance. Suited to travelers prioritizing price and practicality.

Wouldn’t recommend for traveling families. Sketchy area. Homeless people hanging out in the parking lot. Office staff doesn’t even keep the door unlocked at 7:00 pm. You have to talk though a window. After 2 straight days of 10 hr drives, our kids wanted to swim. The pool is located in the parking lot and closes at 8pm even though it doesn’t get dark until well after. They charge $.25 for a small scoop of ice from the ice dispenser (which is disgusting). They also advertise free breakfast. At 7:30am the office was still locked and nothing was available… not even coffee. We actually had to shove our room key’s through the window which was held closed with a rock. On the bright side, the room was clean other than the stains on the bedding. Wouldn’t stay here again. Looks to be a nice hotel across the street for a little more $, but I’m sure we’ll with it. At least you can go on the rooftop and relax without feeling in danger.

Room wasnt ready and we checked in 2 hours late. Had to ask for towels each day , had to ask for kleenex and toilet paper. Keys kept not working. Had to pay for ice machine each time. No coffee maker and a burnt out lightbulb by closet. Ha only 2 thin pillows on a king bed , had to ask for more. TV remote didnt work and no clock. Never changed sheets , just remade the bed.

The area had some sketchy looking people walking around. Swear we saw a drug deal go down as we pulled in the parking lot. Staff was friendly. When we went to check in the office person unlocked the door and then locked it behind us. Family room is upstairs. They don't have an elevator. Would not reccomend.

This property is clean inside and out. The staff are very kind. The hotel itself is an older however, I can see some modifications had been completed to semi upgrade it. So it has features of older hotel. Bed was comfortable, basic necessities were provided daily. It is next to several hospitals literally, so you will hear ambulances always passing by. I really wanted to use the pool, however it was dirty, as in a normal dusty dirty nothing horrible. So if you are looking for a hotel just to rest, get some decent sleep and an awesome price, this is it. If you don't mind the ambulances. I was here for work so I was not much at the hotel. No issues in the evening time either. I went outside and enjoyed the weather from the second floor. :) I would definitely stay again for a quick trip.

Dawson welcomed us on Christmas and told us the closest restaurant that was open (Yasmine’s Mediterranean was great). Possibly less than half full so Dawson upgraded us. Whole place was clean, newly painted, parking lot newly striped, tub clean, water hot. Best bang for buck in ABQ

The inn was a good choice for us on our motorcycle trip. Parking was convenient and the area was safe enough. There were homeless people about (not just in this area though) but they didn't bother anything or approach anyone. The check-in clerk was very friendly and efficient. The room was fine, beds comfortable, water hot, sufficient space overall. It was just the ticket for an overnight stay. As a bonus, it was only a few blocks down from the old town and was on Route 66. As such, there was some road noise being so close to the Interstate and 66, but it was not bad. We'd stay there again.

We were passing through and needed a place to crash for the night not realizing there was a Balloon Festival going on so I do believe the cost for this room was a bit overpriced. I woke up about 4am to a horrible sewer smell that lasted for a few hours. I had to cover my head with the blanket because that’s how bad the smell was.

They have eliminated the simple breakfast they used to have. This is ok if you know ahead of time as there is not a breakfast restaurant or grocery store super close. A lot of online information still indicates that there is a breakfast. The cleaning fee has to be paid for every day even if you request a cleaning every 3 or 4 days. Room condition is good-comfortable bed with walls, floors, and bathroom tile recently redone. Hot water was available immediately. Towels seemed scarce as they took away the towels in the morning and returned them in the afternoon. The hair dryer had frayed wires and should be taken away. The owner is a helpful, kind, considerate, personable individual. It is his customer service skill that brought us back here. Public transportation down Central Avenue is excellent. Two routes, the ART lines, have stops in the center of the street. Route 66, which stops more frequently, has bus stops along the curb. There are screens in the mid street stops indicating when buses are coming. The area is fine in the daytime, but I wouldn't be comfortable wandering about there at night. We have never had security concerns while staying at the hotel. It's an inexpensive hotel that is a good value for what you pay.
