Was a wonderful place to stay to see the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! Location was excellent, they put out mini breakfasts at 4:30am, so you can get the Fiesta early. Take the shuttle service that leaves from a few blocks away and don't take your car! Service and staff were outstanding and very helpful. Suites were well furnished and had everything you need. They serve breakfast each morning and it was hot and fresh. Either eat in their social rooms or take it back to your room. Three evenings there offer a Managers Special in the early evening. We had wonderfu cheeses, bread and appetizers one night, pulled pork sandwiches and another. It was so good that we skipped dinner several nights. Close by the main attractions: Indian Publeo Cultural Center, Old Townb Plaza, Museum of Natural History, Albuquerque History of Art & History. If you are going to Santa Fe, be sure to take the Turquoise Trail on your way there. The town of Madrid was very interesting! Have fun!

Very nice stay. Room was in good condition (other than the phone not working). Suite is very spacious. Sofa bed was not comfortable at all, but Residence Inn provided a foam topper for the second night, and that helped a lot. Pool and spa were very clean, but note that these are outdoors, so swimming after September or before June will be very chilly. Work out facility has a couple of treadmills and some free weights. This Residence Inn also has a library, which was every nice for reading or getting some work done in a comfortable place. Breakfast was outstanding each day. Eggs, hash browns, pancakes, sausage, oatmeal with all the fixings. Sierra Mist came out of the soda machine yellow. But everything else in the eating area was very good. Great location!

Nice stop on our New Mexico vacation. Room had more than we needed with the kitchen (full-size refrigerator, microwave with popcorn, sink, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, small table w/2 chairs), Lots of lights and electrical outlets, no safe. Only thing we didn't prefer was that the bathroom sink area was outside the shower/toilet room. Good free breakfast selection of food and beverages; coffee and soda available all day. Nice, friendly people at the front desk and even the housekeepers were friendly.

On this trip we stayed at five hotels in New Mexico and this was the nicest one in terms of service and quality. When I needed toothpaste and deodorant the hotel provided it free of charge.

Check In- I was greeted warmly by two elderly gentlemen while checking in. They asked my room preference, thanked me for being a rewards member and asked me if I needed any information about the area.

The Lobby- The lobby is pretty standard. There is a nice room with a fireplace, tv and internet access off to the side. Everyone was considerate of time in using the internet unlike my experience at the Sheraton Uptown in the same City.

The Room- It is a slightly older model Residence Inn. However the room was spotless and on the third floor. It was the one room suite with a sofa sleeper. My bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The kitchen had all the amenities I could ask for if I needed to make dinner.

Breakfast- The breakfast was excellent. A good variety of hot and cold items. Fresh fruit was also available. The attendant was also very friendly.

Extras- The hotel is located in what appears to be an older mall that has been transformed into an industrial center. There are several restaurants within walking distance.

Sum- There are many nice hotels in Albuquerque to choose from but in terms of service, peacefulness and complimentary breakfast this is my favorite so far.
