Ideal location for sightseeing.
The hotel property is ideally located for sightseeing and exploring various cultural points of interest throughout the area, particularly in Old Town Albuquerque. The property is within five blocks of Old Town's famous attractions including museums and the Albuquerque Aquarium. Kirtland Air Force Base is 9.7 km away and the Rio Grande Zoo is 3.2 km from the hotel. .

Negative Reviews
negative:
No elevator service available.
The hotel does not provide an elevator service for rooms above ground level and even though rooms are only spread over two floors, negotiating stairs with large amounts of luggage could be difficult and tiring. Travelers with impaired movement or the elderly may also find it difficult and should try for ground floor options instead.
negative:
Thin walls could be distracting.
Room walls are very thin and it is easy to hear the activities of guests in neighboring rooms and on the second floor. Adding to the distracting noise issue is the busy main road outside which noise-sensitive guests may find more distracting at night. .
negative:
Limited breakfast space.
The complimentary breakfast is served in the hotel lobby which is quite limited in size, making for a sometimes awkward experience with long queues and limited seating areas which is compounded on particularly busy days as well. .
