We stayed here during Thanksgiving week. It is right off of the 25 expressway and Jefferson Ave. It's quite accessible to Rio Rancho, and Northern Albuquerque. It's not a bad drive to the airport. It's tucked away in the Journal Center area, with office buildings and just up the street (Jefferson) from a Starbucks, which I frequented daily. The room was exceptionally clean. We had a courtyard view, which I would recommend because I can see if you overlook the 25 expressway, it could be noisy. The pool area (I never made it there), seemed to be a little separate building you have to go outside to access. Other's might have more information regarding this. We never ate there, so I can't rate the restaurant, but it never seemed crowded. Nice bar area, with seating seemed cozy. Decor very nice and Southwestern. Great cookies on Front Desk area in the evening, and Cucumber iced water there also. The only cons: The toilet area and shower area had a privacy door, and when you turned the light on, the fan automatically came on and was very loud and a little dark in there. I didn't like the automatic fan coming on. Then the dressing sink area had no door, whereby if you were getting ready, you would disturb anyone trying to sleep in the bed right around the corner. The heater, sounded liked a muffled ambulance in the distance, but tolerable. Front desk gal who checked us in could have had more personality (I am a former Marriott employee), and the standards we were told to uphold, didn't seem to resonate with this gal. Otherwise, we didn't have any other interaction with staff. No problems in our room to report either. I would stay here again though, I liked the location and the hotel overall.
Room Tip: Ask for a quiet interior courtyard room.
