So many reasons to give this place 5 stars since it’s really one of a kind. Service checking in was amazing. Property could use some upkeep and popsicles were all squashed at popsicle hour. Room and extras were so cute! Had to request a car be moved to be able to park. Was sad that Dave didn’t help me look for a lost necklace- I had to come back and find it myself. Loved the golden banana.

Great place to stay! Never been to the ABQ before and stayed here two nights at the top of my trip and ended up staying for the final night since it was so great and convenient for me. Nob Hill area of Albuquerque was a great treat to find! Plenty of shopping, drinking, and eating around. The Zazz wall was awesome too! Be sure to tap the golden banana 🍌

The hotel itself was decent, the staff was very nice and helpful. The bathroom seemed dingy and the shower did not drain properly. It was extremely loud with the upstairs tenants and outside noise.

Great stay at Hotel ZAZZ

Zazz is a great motel with beautiful art and a fun atmosphere. We loved the location in Nob Hill and walked to all our meals. Restaurants around the hotel are delicious. Zazz is a motel where you can hear people coming and going as well as talking on the other side of the walls. However, rooms were comfortable and had coffee and a fridge. We were quite happy with our stay.
