F.Y.I.

Overall, it was a good experience and stay. There were a few noticeable things that were not of great concern, however, would like to include for those who rely on the reviews of others to make the best decision for where they want to spend their time and money. The property will hopefully receive an upgrade to the exterior in the near future, however, my room looked clean and was the cleanest room I’ve stayed in thus far. The shower head in my room needed repair, as water would end up on the floor even while doing my best to prevent this with the shower curtain. (I did bring this to the attention of the *Staff member on site). My bed frame was very squeaky. (I mentioned this to the *Staff member on site.) The breakfast offered in my opinion was ok. The bananas offered during my stay were never ripe. Occasionally, I could hear voices and sounds through the walls. If you are a light sleeper, the traffic noise may be an issue. The laundry room was easy to access and use. There were clean sheets belonging to the property sprawled over the machines during my stay. The Staff (including the *Property Manager) were friendly and helpful as needed. There are plenty of decent eateries and shops nearby. You can also utilize the FREE bus service (bus stops are a short walking distance) to get around town. The people of Albuquerque who I encountered were both kind and friendly.
