Desert Sands Inn & Suites

Overall this hotel is good if you just need a bed and a warm shower. The staff were friendly and very helpful! This is a no frills stay but gives you the necessities and a safe spot within the city. The hotel is gated to keep unwanted visitors out and our rental car was safe in the lot. The beds aren’t the nicest, very stiff, and the pillows were very flat- but for the price per night it was fine. We didn’t spend any time in the room except to shower and sleep- which this hotel was perfect for lol. Our room had a smoke smell to it, but we were fine dealing with it. Notified the front deals and they made sure to make a note of it so we weren’t charged smoking fee. Pros: cheap, nice helpful staff, hot shower, good water pressure, gated lot, decently safer area than further into Albuquerque.. Cons: hard bed, flat pillows, thin towels, landlord special upkeep lol.

Very nice n pet friendly nice people n very reasonable

The neighborhood that it is in is kind of sketchy. But the staff is amazing, the rooms are clean, and it felt secure due to the fencing around it. The price is amazing. I would definitely stay again.

This was an ideal place at an ideal price for a quick stop to sleep for a single male traveler.

The room smelled like someone just had smoked before we got there. They should also be careful with who they rent their rooms to.

Amazing front desk staff! Very kind and helpful! ☺️ clean rooms and clean bedding a good place to lay your head for a night.

We needed an inexpensive place to stay in ABQ and found this gem. It's right off the interstate; easy to find. If you need a no frills, place to sleep, this us it. Beds were comfy, separate tub/toilet room from sink area which makes it easy for 2 ppl to get ready. Large tv (larger than some more expensive hotels have), microwave, a large mini fridge. Room was clean. Gal at front desk at check-in was helping someone else so mgr/owner came out of office to help. Both were pleasant. Hotel offered coffee in It's lobby, no breakfast. Not ahuge deal, we just went elsewhere to eat. There is a McDonald's next door and a Starbucks and Smith's grocery store kitty corner from hotel. Lots of other food options nearby. If you want a clean place to stay while in ABQ, I'd highly recommend this property.

Our room didn't have hot water, and it took about 24 hours before we were moved to a different room. The bed frames have metal panels that clank when you roll over. The hotel allows dogs, but there's nowhere for them to go potty- just an enclosed parking lot. The rooms are not well equipped, even for a basic motel. Overall, not somewhere I would want to stay again.

Check-in was nice and helpful. However the computer was slow and seemed confusing. Took about 15-20 minutes to check us in. The room was big and bright. Bathroom door would not close. Bed was too tall.
