After a crappy experience at the drury inn on 25, we decided to spend a few more nights in albuquerque, but at a different hotel. We had to find one that was pet friendly for our little maltese and yorkie. We drove by this hotel and decided to check their pet policy on a whim. Not only do they accept pets, they had a basket of toys from which we could choose a toy for our babies! They got a chewy bone and a rope, and they have been quite happy here.

The young man at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. In fact, every employee we encountered was nice, right down to the guy with the carpet cleaner.

We were allowed to look at our suite before we checked in, which made me feel much better about spending more money on a hotel. I almost cried when i saw the room, and realized that we had wasted $340 at the drury.

People with pets get suites on the first floor, which is perfect when your dogs have tiny bladders. The area of town we are in feels so safe that we allowed our kids, 12 and 9, to walk the dogs by themselves. Okay, we watched through the window, but they didn't know that.

When we got to the room, there was a note of welcome from the housekeeper. THE HOUSEKEEPER, folks! After about 20 minutes, the young man at the desk (gosh, i wish i could remember his name) called to make sure our room was perfect. I assured him it was.

The kitchenette is stocked with dishes and a dishwasher, which made us much more comfortable eating our takeout (chilis and pizza 9...you MUST try pizza 9.) the maid even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us when she cleaned our room. And did i mention that the washcloths and kleenex were folded into cute little flowers and birds? Seriously, i've stayed in 4 and 5 star hotels that didn't pay that much attention to detail.

I cannot recommend the homewood suites enough. Whoever is managing this hotel is doing a phenomenal job of making it feel like a high dollar experience.

Okay it was a bit to find this place, I actually had to break out the GPS. Its off the beaten path so to speak, but for Albuquerque, it was really really quiet. The breakfast was better than average. Staff was really nice. The rooms were great, I loved having the kitchen in the room. The bed was fantastic, I slept like a baby, and my back felt fine in the morning. I would absolutely stay here again. I'm a musician, and sometimes have to practice in the room, and that didn't seem to be a problem. I felt like the room was clean. I very much recommend this hotel, and thought the price for what we got was really excellent.

We really loved the spacious, well-appointed suites--a great way to gather together as a family for the holidays. We especially liked the 2-bedroom suites, which provide two private bedrooms/baths, and a central, socializing area. Excellent breakfast, complete with hot entrees and waffles. There are two great shopping malls within walking distance. We gather at a suite hotel every year at Thanksgiving, and this is the best place we have ever stayed.

Since we rented three suites for the Thanksgiving holiday, we left a generous tip for housekeeping and thanked them personally for working the holiday. Unfortunately, the favor was not returned--we left our baby's new snowsuit and pajamas in the room by accident, and they were never recovered. It was so cold--she really needed her snowsuit! Be super-careful not to leave anything behind when you check out.

I had a little trouble finding this hotel but the front desk was very helpful. When I called and explained my predicament, she literally talked me through each turn by phone until I arrived at the hotel. Outstanding service and very appreciated by a tired out of state driver. This was my first trip to Albuquerque and I really liked the Uptown area. It was convenient to the major highway and my office. Lots of shops, restaurants, etc. I had no problem with the internet and or number of television stations. I would definitiely stay here again.
