Hidden Gem

A Downtown Albuquerque hidden gem. I’ve stayed here multiple time and it is a clean, quaint, and comfortable property with all the amenities. The location of the property provides easy access to nightlife, restaurants, shopping and historical locations. Above all, the bed are so comfortable!

The Imperial was a great choice for our overnight stay in Albuquerque. The room was pleasantly decorated with thoughtful touches including a cool mini fridge -a nice change from chain motels. The staff was really nice and quick to supply extra towels. Comfy bed. Only problem was tight parking.

I really enjoyed staying at The Imperial in Albuquerque this past week. My stay was short and lasted only a day, but nonetheless, The Imperial showed out. The room we stayed in was clean and had the most comfortable beds. The staff was great, and the place was genuinely the nicest motel I have stayed in.
