The location of the Hotel is great. The room was clean, and comfortable. If you love high pressure showers, this is the place for you. Only one issue I have is the fee for parking that was not included in the price, nor was it advertised. There is a $4 parking fee, which does not go to anything I can explain. I asked the front desk attendant if there was security that patrolled the lot at night and she said "No." I asked what the parking fee was for and her rely was, "the owner told us to start charging for it and we are." So be prepared to pay a separate parking fee which does not go to anything they can explain.

Room and bathroom were very clean, however, the 4 individual keurig coffee containers had all been used and placed back on the coffee station. All 4 had very noticeable hole on top and bottom. Also when checking in, was informed of a charge for parking which was not posted on this app or on the corporate site. Was informed that charge was implemented by owner recently. Front desk staff was great and extremely understanding of my frustration with the unposted parking fee. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, towels were clean and soft, and AC/heater worked great.

So, we stayed here because of the reviews being so good and it was on our way up I-25. It is conveniently off of I-25 and has restaurants near by. There is a restaurant inside the hotel which has great food as well. We have a little doggie, and that was another plus for us to be able to have him stay in our room for the night. Our double queen bed room was clean and comfy and spacious. The A/C and facilities all worked well except the water spout in the tub was loose and made us feel like it would come off of the wall if we weren't careful. The shower water pressure was very high which I liked. There is plenty of well lit parking and I felt our vehicles would be safe. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. A couple of issues we had were the unexpected surprise of having to pay $4 per night for parking. There is no free breakfast either, but they have a morning breakfast buffet for $16 ea if you want to dine in the hotel restaurant area. The elevator floors both needed to be replaced as the LVT flooring was separating and becoming a tripping hazard. I almost tripped on the floor in one of the elevators and reported it to the check-in desk which they quickly addressed. The price for a room is fairly reasonable for this area and they didn't charge us half of the cost of the room with a ton of fees you would normally find in other large cities. Overall, great place to stay and we will probably stay here again if we need a great hotel in Albuquerque.

We couldn’t get anyone to clean our room, so we had to go down and ask for towels anytime we needed them and had to take our own trash out. We were never in the room when the cleaning service came by but when we got back to our rooms in the evening you could tell nobody had been in there and the do not disturb sign was not on the door

If you get a room facing the back of the hotel, the trash collectors make a lot of noise really early in the morning, and the toilets flush REALLY loud, you can hear your neighbor flushing and closing doors all night long. Didn't get very good sleep. The gap in the door is big enough you can see light ftom the hallway which makes you also hear the people coming in, not noise proof enough.

We booked a suite in February and when we got there to check in the Hotel said Expedia over booked so they did not have the room we actually paid for. They really did not care and said they only had a double bed or a standard king which one did we want instead. It was my husbands birthday and it was suppose to ne a special weekend and it was disappointing because we got a suite to be able to have friends over and we were not able to celebrate.

The check-in was a breeze. The clerk at the front desk was very kind. We got in late, so we decided to have dinner and drinks at the hotel. The pizza was burnt and hard. The worst part was that they would not allow my SIL sit on the restaurant side because she had a service dog. At dinner and breakfast, they wanted us to sit in a separate room. She was embarrassed and felt very discriminated against. Please train your staff on what is allowed according to the ADA Act! I’m surprised this happened at a Hilton. So disappointed.
