Newly remodeled and updated
Stay here about 13 yrs ago when it was Hotel Blue. It has undergone a much needed update/remodel. Nice restaurant, pool area and fantastic staff. Would definitely recommend and probably staying again on the way home to AZ.

I thought the 25$ valet was very reasonable and enjoyed having my car parked for me in a closed lot. Check in was easy and the staff were all kind. Had a delicious dinner and cocktail downstairs. It wasnt pool weather but id love to come back when it is!

This hotel made our pit stop in Albuquerque an absolute delight. The valet staff so friendly and helpful. The front desk at check-in; so hospitable and delightful; the other guest services staff bring items to our room so sweet and thoughtful.
Our check in was easy and fast; we were told about a $50 fee for our dog’s stay (which we knew about ahead of time) but what we didn’t know about was the

Cool spot
AJ at the front desk was able to confirm the trailer I was towing was not going to be an issue. I was pulling our baseball team gear therefore security was high concern.
The staff made check in easy and brought up the extra towels immediately.
The decor was really good and not too over the top. My daughter loved “The Vibes”….

The people who work here are wonderful. They were all very friendly and helpful. The room is cute and clean, but unfortunately I just couldn't get much sleep. I don't sleep well on platform beds, and I was only able to get a couple hours of sleep a night. There was also a lot of noise from the area surrounding the hotel. If you don't mind a platform bed, the staff and convenient location make this hotel a great choice.

Not family friendly
This hotel is so cute but in a really bad part of town. Cops and homeless people all around. It’s very loud but the hotel does provide ear plugs. Also there is No coffee machine in the room so you have to go purchase it from the hotel restaurant. Otherwise the bed was so comfortable. The room itself was very cute.

Beware!- Very Costly!
No parking unless you pay $25 valet parking each night- but you can park across the street next to a homeless camp. Plus rooms have no amenities except $6 candy bars and $10 beers. Plus no luggage rack for your luggage. Bathroom had black hairs all over it plus the floor had dog hair EVERYWHERE! And few lights- the room was so dark!

No staff, no service. Broken elevator
Only 1 person on staff on a saturday. Main elevator broken now for 2-3 days. She put me in the WORST room on property. I had to return wayyyyy back to the front desk wt luggage to ask for a decent room. Food left around there by other guests, no one picked it up for a day.

Too expensive for what it was
The hotel was right across the street from a small park that had so many homeless people. The only parking was next to the park with druggies/homeless people so we had to valet for $28 a night. And I use “valet” loosely. The valet attendant gave me my keys to walk to the back parking lot to get my car the first night. Don’t call it valet if you have to get your own car.
The floor of the room was very dirty. It was windy and was probably blown in from outside; nonetheless, it was very dirty.

Terrible parking situation and felt nickel and dim
So this hotel is nice and it's in a pretty solid location. But it has 2 huge drawbacks, one of which felt a bit deceptive. The first is a 3 PM check in, which is decidely on the later side. But the second is worse. When you arrive, you can choose to valet your car for $25 PER DAY or street park - but have to move car by 10 AM. In the Hotels.com description, what it says about parking is frankly misleading. And they won't allow you to self-park in their lot. The valets and staff were all super nice, but this is like a 20 - 30% increase on what I paid for the room. And they have no continental breakfast nor do they have even a tiny discount at the hotel restaurant. Stay somewhere else and save like $30 per day on parking and other fees.

Too Hot ir too Cold
Only a heavy comforter was provided for a covering. A flat sheet would have been great. I had lowered temp. on heat unit. Later, the unit began to blow cold air intermittently. So it was too hot with comforter, but too cold when unit blew cold air. Kept waking up throughout the night. Other than that, the room was great. There was a $25 parking fee for fenced parking. You can leave car on the street but this is downtown Albuquerque and lots of people on the streets.
