Did not know this was a “Motel” not a Hotel. This was false advertising! We did not stay there, it was off a main road and didn’t want the road noise.

Solo Female Traveler Approved!

What a gem Hotel Zazz is! This was my first time in Albuquerque, and I’m so glad that I found Zazz. It is clear that this is a labor of love, and you know from the moment you pull into the parking lot that you’re going to stay someplace special and completely unique. From the exterior decor to the stunning lobby to the special touch in the lobby that gains you access to a fabulous speakeasy with the friendliest staff! I’m a solo female traveler and am always a bit anxious as to how I will be received as a visitor, but the staff at the hotel and the bar couldn’t have been more welcoming! I cannot wait to head back to Albuquerque to book another stay at Hotel Zazz!

Get away weekend fun

Hotel Zazz has a fun, boutique like atmosphere with friendly staff, bright interior and exterior animal collages painted on the surfaces and a popsicle hour in the afternoon. It’s pretty quiet at night (visited in late April). There’s a great restaurant right across the street, the Farmacy, for breakfast & lunch.
