Positive Reviews
positive:
Functional but clean and affordable rooms
The straightforward rooms were reportedly well-equipped and more than sufficiently clean and comfortable for a stopover, but a few critics claimed there were cramped bathrooms. Many reviewers found it appealing that rooms included coffee-makers, hairdryers and flat-screen cable TVs and ironing facilities as standard. Perks like the free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast also appealed to visitors, although some critics took issue with the limited menu in the mornings. The room rates were usually reasonable, according to many guests.
positive:
Handy location near the airport
One big convenience for air passengers was the proximity of Albuquerque International Sunport, about one mile away. There was a handy shuttle service available too. Guests also noted that being a short drive from Interstate 25 enabled hassle-free access to area attractions, museums, shopping malls, the old town historic district and downtown Albuquerque for music venues, academic institutions and rail links. Guests also appreciated the proximity of bus stops, gas stations and various dining options.
positive:
