Fantastic property. Very clean with a heated pool and great staff. Downtown Albuquerque is a bit seedy and rundown, but the immediate few blocks around the hotel have been revitalized with a nice park and some new restaurants and shops.

The property was beautiful and uniquely designed. My only complaint would be the lack of cleaning services. I stayed from Thursday night to Sunday and not once did anyone come to clean the room or restock the toiletries. They also charged a $150 hold for possible use of the mini bar and in room snacks. That was different for me.

Not a VIP hotel !

The hotel is located downtown Albuquerque on the corner of a main street with a lot of bums unfortunately all over the place. Plus, I had a room that faced the street and the cars go all night long a lot with no mufflers and Harley Davison’s revving their motors it’s like a cruising area downtown. I don’t recommend this hotel for anybody mainly because of the bombs and the noise level terrible it should not be a hotel that Hotels.com rates VIP.

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.
