This hotel was recently updated and was very funky - it looked great. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by service issues. We had to contact the desk three times to have someone address our non-flushing toilet. It stopped working again the morning we were leaving and luckily I had asked the last person who came to "fix" it what he did, and he showed me. There was loud music outside our room at night and in the morning. When I asked what the source of the loud music was outside the hotel at 7:30 am, I was told it was music coming from the outdoor pool and that I could use earplugs if it was disturbing me - keeping in mind that there was no one at the pool at 7:30 am. The hotel is trying to manage without phones and a texting system. When I texted my question about the loud music, I didn't receive a response for an hour. Finally, there is valet parking at the hotel, in a fenced in parking lot right next to the hotel. You are able to let them know that you want your car via text, but it was unexplainably slow. I booked this hotel based on the great reviews on Expedia, but when I went back and looked, there were only 16 reviews since the hotel re-opened after renovations. I get that maybe there are some glitches still to be worked out, but I would have been more sympathetic if someone had told me that upfront. Still, the toilet not working three days in a row is a dealbreaker for me. Apart from all that, the staff people that we interacted with directly were lovely.

What sold me on choosing this place was that they had a restaurant downstairs. We had been driving literally all day and didn’t want to venture out in the cold with hungry tired kids. I recommend making a reservation to the DWNTR to make it easy for everyone because it gets crowded in peak hours. The food is great for shareables and they offer a variety of kinds of foods. The pop corn shrimp and crunchy tacos were some of the favorites. My kids enjoyed playing on the jukebox as well. Our room was on the top floor (which I love). I can see how the sounds from the city could bother some but we sleep with a white noise machine and were so tired it didn’t even bother us. The room was cozy, beds more on the harder side (which I love for my back), very clean, and offer a variety of snacks and drinks if that’s something you like. We needed extra towels and they were promptly brought up after a quick easy text. Staff was super friendly and I felt completely safe. We are talking about hitting this place up on our way back home because we want to explore the area and really enjoyed our experience.

Newly remodeled and updated

Stay here about 13 yrs ago when it was Hotel Blue. It has undergone a much needed update/remodel. Nice restaurant, pool area and fantastic staff. Would definitely recommend and probably staying again on the way home to AZ.

Definitely worth staying at! Their rooms separate themselves from other hotels in the Albuquerque downtown area, just the overall design of their rooms is nice and modern, and are well-equipped. They do have a strict NO SMOKING policy which to me was refreshing to know. Also, the restaurant at the bottom didn’t fail to impress either, their food and service overall are great, and would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Too Hot ir too Cold

Only a heavy comforter was provided for a covering. A flat sheet would have been great. I had lowered temp. on heat unit. Later, the unit began to blow cold air intermittently. So it was too hot with comforter, but too cold when unit blew cold air. Kept waking up throughout the night. Other than that, the room was great. There was a $25 parking fee for fenced parking. You can leave car on the street but this is downtown Albuquerque and lots of people on the streets.
