We have stayed at the hotel in 2002, 2003 and 2004. This year we stayed on July 29th and August 6th.
The Extend Stay Deluxe is in the process of upgrading the furniture.
We stayed in a newly refurbished room one the first night and it was very nice.

The breakfast is not a good as when it was a Wellesley Inn.
No make it your self waffles and they ran out of toast and bagels.

The second night we stayed at a non refurbished room.
It was showing wear but nothing drastic and the kithennette is always helpful.

I find that I sleep much better when I stay at a hotel I have been to before.
We will continue to stay at the Extended Stay Deluxe, Rio Rancho when we pass thru.

Extended Stay is better than staying in a regular hotel because you get a small kitchen to make some meals instead of going out to eat all the time. The staff was very friendly and helpful in helping you get around town. We stayed for almost 2 months waiting for our new home to be built which was around the time of the Balloon Fiesta and had one of the best views in town (make sure you get a room facing the Sandia Mountains). The hotel's location is close to everything including the Coronado Mall and a wonderful restaurant called "Wecks", a must go to place. The hotel is up on a hill so we did not hear any traffic which was nice.

The only complaint I have is that our room and the room next to ours had the same layout which means that the beds did not share a common wall. Our bed shared the wall with the other person's TV which we heard every morning at 5:30am when the person woke up to get ready to go to work.

Suites had large refrigerator and micro, stoves and dishes. Eating area was small but nice room. Clean rooms.
