We booked in advance and stayed at the Crossland Economy Studios in Albuquerque, NM for two months while our house was being finished.
The hotel clerks as well as management were rude and uncaring. The rooms were absolutely filthy and extremely small. The internet connection was so horrible that most times you could not use it at all. There are two dirty burners and a tiny fridge in this cramped queen size room. The fridge did not work but they did replace it quickly.
While we were there, some stranger from another room tried to break into our room for no apparent reason except he was drunk and/or stoned and acted like he was crazy. We called the desk clert who said to call the police and the idiot hotel security guard got the message from the desk clerk mixed up and thought my husband and I were the ones making the disturbance and told that to the police. The police showed up with SWAT who had rifles pointed at us. It took over an hour to straighten everything out with the police while we waited outside in the cold. The police arrested the stranger for numerous felonies including assaulting one of the police officers that night and took him to jail. The hotel fired the idiot security guard the next day and apologized, but this place is a nightmare! The laundry room was also broken into and the change boxes were crowbarred open and robbed while we were there. This all happened while their security guard was on duty and supposedly patrolling. Using a crowbar on those machines must have made a TON of noise but apparently no one including the security guard, saw or heard anything.
We also found bedbugs towards the end of our stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!! It's filty and dangerous because of the type of clientele they attract.

I was looking for a cheap hotel room to stay at for a business trip. This one was a good price with good reviews on the internet. I made a mistake in the date when I placed the reservation, but the manager fixed the problem with no hassle whatsoever.

I wasn't expecting much for under $40, but was pleasantly surprised to find the room clean and in good working order. It was in a decent neighborhood and had a large fence surrounding the parking lot. I was impressed to find dishes and pans in the cabinets to cook with. They provide soap and towels, and you can buy other supplies from a vending machine near the office. Internet costs extra, if you need it, but it is nice not to have the price built in to the room if you don't need it.

Overall, I had a great experience and will stay there again the next time I go to Albuquerque..

No one can beat their price and quality. They had the best staff - friendly, responsive. Housekeeping is good, well maintained rooms - all clean and good linens. They revoked my room access as they had misunderstanding in my booking. But the staff explained the issue and resolved it quickly. Keep up the good work!
Recommend for solo travellers, families. Make booking thro their website for best rates.

In my next vacation to Albuquerque NM ( in the spring of 2009) I will definitely stay at Crossland Extended Stay Hotel on Ellison Street.
I especially love having a kitchen so I can brew my Starbucks in the morning (I'm completely useless without my coffee to wake me up).
The refrigerator is big enough to hold my left-overs from eating out. The stove and microwave are great for heating up my left overs (or for preparing scrambled eggs). The kitchen is equipped with standard pots, pan, silvers, dishes, cups, glasses. If you need more, the staff at the desk will lend you (I borrowed flatiron/ board and hair dryer). They'll give you complimentary coffee but since we stayed for a week, I ended up buying coffee filters for my Starbucks ground coffee.

Housekeeping is provided after 6 or 7 days. But for the very reasonable rate (about $30 a day), who needs daily maid service? I trade in my daily towels for fresh ones. I throw out my garbage in the cart conveniently set outside my door on the second floor. They give me garbage liners when I ask.

"Tis like having a mini home!

I definitely recommend this hotel to all my acquaintances. Next time I'm going to rent the DELUXE with 2 queen beds. It has a living room with a sleeper.

There is also a working/ eating table and Wi-Fi connection (for a $5 charge). I got a discount of $50.00 for a 7 day stay.

The location is safe, well lighted, in a commercial area where other hotels are like Hampton, Marriott, etc. Denny's is a stone throw away, for breakfast. A block away is San Mateo Drive where I got my rental car from ENTERPRISE (they give you a free ride to the main office).

My Christmas holiday with my family never got so glitch free. Thanks to my hotel. I definitely had a wonderful time without breaking my budget.

I'm giving Extended Stay a 5 star (the best score).
