Cons: Pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre (contrairement à tous les hôtels où nous avons dormi)

Cons: Pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre (contrairement à tous les hôtels où nous avons dormi). Avec une température extérieure de 45 degrés, ce serait bienvenu pour rafraîchir l'eau. Pas de petit-déjeuner. A Santa Fe, pour un prix similaire, le petit-déjeuner était inclus et incroyable. Bref, beaucoup trop cher pour les services fournis.

Amazing Retro Motel with Upgraded Touches

Pros: We loved this motel! It was beautifully restored, great decor, room was quiet and had really really good air conditioning! We sat by the lighted splash pad and pool, and drank our beverages in the cool NM evening. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and we got great nights sleep on the great mattress and upscale bedding. Good coffee in the lobby! Lots of outdoor places to relax. Highly recommend. Cons: Nothing

Parfait pour une nuit à Albuquerque

Pros: La chambre était très jolie et spacieuse. Toutes les chambres donnent sur la piscine, c’est agréable. La décoration de l’hôtel est jolie et l’emplacement est pratique près de Oldtown. Cons: Rien

Overnight at an icon

Pros: We stayed here right off the plane into ABQ our first night, and it was a good way to start our trip. It was fun to see a midcentury ethos filtered through a New Mexico vibe. Cons: Each time we parked, we took the last available spot, so there was a certain amount of stress with that process. It's handy that the hotel has food vendors on site, but we did not enjoy the food we had. We should have crossed the street to Los Compadres.
