Embassy Suites by Hilton Albuquerque

First the good: everyone was super helpful and accommodating, especially the ladies at breakfast. The made to order omelettes and pancakes were really good and the lady making them was so friendly and eager to please. The happy hour was also nice and the bar tender seemed to be a really good guy and was very efficient. The main desk staff were pleasant as well, no problems there. Here’s why I am giving 3 stars: The shower and shower curtain were not clean looking. The toilet bowl was the same way. I think it maybe just needs updated but it still left me with a gungy feel. Actually the whole Bathroom in general felt gross. Same with carpet. But here is the main reason why I would never come back: the water in the pool was so disgusting that I can’t even. There was no smell of chlorine or chemicals and the water was green and cloudy. Like real cloudy. So I thought it must be a saltwater pool so I swam but was still grossed out. The next day I asked the front desk if it was a saltwater pool which would explain the cloudiness and she said no it was chlorine. Girl, that pool hadn’t seen chlorine since like 1985. Ughhhhhhhh. So grossed out to be swimming in essentially dirty bath water. It was a busy pool. really hope the front desk clerk was wrong and if I find out it was a saltwater pool I will amend my review. But if this is correct, people clean up your pool!!!! So if you stay here, expect a great breakfast but stay out of the pool and don’t expect it to be a shiny and updated room because it is not. Or at least our room wasn’t. Yuck.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Albuquerque Historic Old Town
4.1/5103 Reviews
Worst hotel experience ever. The first thing I noticed upon entering was a strange chemical smell, not very pleasant. We checked in and went to our room. Our first room wasn’t clean and even though we paid extra for a mountain view it didn’t have one. We were moved to the fourth floor, still not much of a view of anything but the front door, and parking lot, don’t waste your money on the “mountain view “. Whatever. We went out and checked out our surroundings. When we came back the smell was even stronger and we could smell it throughout the hallways, thank God it didn’t stink in our room. The bed was awful. Neither of us slept very good. The shower was like a sand blaster, and there was no way to adjust the pressure. Everything about this room was awful. I booked through IHG and contacted them about canceling the rest of our stay at this hotel and was sent a copy of their cancellation policy, ugh. So we decide to try to make the best of it for the next two nights. We didn’t get much sleep the second night either. I went downstairs around 5 am to get coffee and got locked out of my room. The nice front desk guy couldn’t get me in either, I had to wait in the stinky hall for my husband to finish his shower and hear me knocking and let me back in. They said they’d fix it that morning, but that was the final straw. We checked out and went to a much better hotel for the remainder of our stay. The front desk person didn’t ask why we were leaving early, and nobody from Holiday Inn has said a word even after leaving a similar review on their app.
Travelodge by Wyndham Albuquerque West
3.1/559 Reviews
We booked the spot because it seemed affordable and the pictures made it seem like a modest, but comfortable, stay. I don't know where they got the pictures we saw online but they didn't match the room at all. The first sign that things were a little off should have been the graffiti on all the lamp posts in the parking lot. I was apprehensive but we went ahead and paid for the room, when we got to the room it was way worse than I could have expected. There were no towels, a tiny bit of toilet paper was left on the roll with no new toilet paper. There was clearly water damage in the bathroom and the room smelled like a disgusting mix of ********/tobacco. We've staying in filthy places before but the deal breaker was the state of the bed, particularly the handprint still on the sheet. Along with the handprint that prompted a is that a blood stain or fresh makeup argument, there were holes and stains both old and new on the bedspread. There was no chance that we were going to stay there a second more than the 25 minutes we were actually in the room. The woman at the desk did offer to put us in another room, i guess that's the only good part, but no thank you. They didn't refund any of the money, I mean the odds where as close to zero as it gets, so you've been warned.
Comfort Inn & Suites Albuquerque Downtown
3.9/5100 Reviews
The hotel is near the main road in the city, but the surrounding area feels relatively desolate. Free parking is available at the hotel. The hotel space is closed and relatively safe. The rooms are well-decorated and the facilities are old, but there is no smell. The bathroom is also relatively compact. Generally clean and hygienic, windows can also be opened for ventilation. The sound insulation is not very good and a bit noisy. There is a free breakfast, not many types, but you can eat it. Suitable for passing overnight.
El Cuervo ABQ
4.7/551 Reviews
We hoped to like this place, but were disappointed overall and would not return. There were some positives, including the location in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood near downtown, spacious rooms, off-street parking, free beer, a nice porch and a quirky esthetic. Unfortunately these were offset by multiple negatives, including the fact that we never encountered the supposedly friendly hosts (check in, check out, and everything else happened through automated text messages and email), the mattress was soft and saggy and the bed was covered with a winter-weight duvet in the hot summer, the bathroom contained the tiniest sink we had ever tried to use with a slow drain that made even hand washing difficult, and the floor was so creaky that anytime anyone in the entire house got up to walk to the bathroom during the night, the noise woke everyone in the house. In addition, the place was billed as a B&B, but there wasn't actually a breakfast. Instead, there was coffee (with only non-dairy whitener), Nature Valley granola bars, and over-ripe bananas. Fortunately there's a good coffee shop and an even better breakfast place (Lush Cafe) just a couple of blocks away. Also, be aware that from this place it is at least a 25 minute walk to Old Town. We enjoy walking so that was OK, but in the heat it felt pretty far, and it didn't feel safe to do at night. Overall, we were sorry we didn't like El Cuervo, but we really can't recommend it.
