Sandia Peak Inn is not in a very nice neighborhood. Our room the bathroom door knob would not pop back up when opened or closed, the tub had a stain on the bottom and there were fuzz bunnieson the floor. The entry door was hard to open, then had to be forced shut. The staff was friendly. Don't plan on eating much on the continental breakfast.

While the people running the place were very kind, and the hotel wasn’t horrible, this area of Albuquerque is sketch. Other customers hanging outside their rooms talking loud as hell and a very large man walking back and forth above us all night made for a miserable stay.

We were just passing through so were not concerned about most of the questions, such as shopping, dining options or transportation. We did really enjoy the couple who checked us in, as they were very friendly and helpful with information. We would stay here again.

There is no door security or chain on the room doors, which open to the outside. This would not be ok even in a hallway, however.

There is no elevator, just stairs. The doors have a deadbolt, but not a chain or door lock mechanism for added security. This is not ok in this day and age, especially since the rooms open to the outside. The road was extremely noisy with cars racing up and down the street so our second night there, I hardly slept. The owner and his wife were very nice, even when we arrived after flying in at midnight.

Cheap & Cheerful

The pros: Great price and close to Old Town, Downtown, University area and Bio Park. Very clean and the staff was friendly and kind. The cons: Being right on historic Route 66, you get more than your fair share of people with loud cars and bikes revving engines at all hours. This isn't the hotels fault - you'd probably have this problem at any of the old motels on the strip. But if you're a light sleeper, it's something to consider. The fixtures are a bit dated, the AC was pretty loud. The bed was reasonably comfortable. For the price, this is a great spot. I spent 3 nights here and would come back.
