I liked the secure parking. Room was clean but a bit dated for the price. But price = location and it's walking to old Albuquerque. Our issue was we weren't told of the $30/pet non refundable deposit. Not on their web or when doing reservation. That's the most we've ever paid! Not sure the pet bed, which ours won't sleep in or pet bowls warranted the deposit. Nice touch but the deposit left a sour taste.
