We stayed here for one night in transit to our final destination. It was a nice hotel, needs a little upgrading but overall very clean and comfortable. That bed had to be the most comfortable I’ve slept on. Breakfast consisted of waffles bagels and cereal and boiled eggs w the usual coffee/tea and orange juice. Nothing crazy but did the job for our one night there. The front desk was also very kind and made booking easy. I definitely recommend for anyone on a budget and needs a clean comfortable place to stay.
The room I asked for had a security bar in the tub, The bed linens were very comfortable. The towels and washcloths were heavy and seemed very new. The Dove soap bars and bath liquid were nice. The caulk around the tub needed replacement. Also, the lamp had a charging port missing. It was not an updated room for technology charging. Overall, the room was great for sleeping. It was clean and the heat worked well. The value for the price was very good.
We stayed here three nights this week, and it was a great value for the money! The staff including the front desk were incredibly helpful and kind. The bed was comfortable, the water was hot , the shower felt great, and it was very quiet. We will definitely stay here again. Decent breakfast, fabulous thick grass in several shaded areas with dog poop bags. A bargain in an area of much higher priced hotels.
Everything was so beautiful, and nice i love staying in this place Everything was amazing , including front desk was very nicely Room was nicely and perfectly clean i enjoyed my staying i will come for sure again !! Thank yall la quinta
Great quality and upgrade for a reasonable nightly rate. The completed year-long remodel is expected in about four months from now, April 2026!
Great hotel for the price. Location is convenient to great restaurants, attractions, and amenities. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
Although it is an old Hotel, the rooms were clean and kept up. It is perfect for a fast, over night trip. Front desk was very helpful. I had a back room and early in the morning there was noise outside. It looks like people use the dumpster in the back quite often, so avoid the back of the Hotel if possible. It didn’t look dangerous, just be safe in Albuquerque!
I'm giving this 4 stars because they did a very good job with cleaning the room. The coffee machine in our room however, did not work. It was missing a part and I didn't get up in time for breakfast so had to get coffee at a starbucks. The complimentary breakfast fills you up, but it's like highschool cafeteria food in my opinion.
Industrial area with basic hotels off the Pan American Freeway & homey diners on Jefferson Street.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in New Mexico. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
