It's right off the interstate; easy to find. If you need a no frills, place to sleep, this us it. Beds were comfy, separate tub/toilet room from sink area which makes it easy for 2 ppl to get ready. Large tv (larger than some more expensive hotels have), microwave, a large mini fridge. Room was clean. Gal at front desk at check-in was helping someone else so mgr/owner came out of office to help. Both were pleasant. Hotel offered coffee in It's lobby, no breakfast. Not ahuge deal, we just went elsewhere to eat. There is a McDonald's next door and a Starbucks and Smith's grocery store kitty corner from hotel. Lots of other food options nearby. If you want a clean place to stay while in ABQ, I'd highly recommend this property. ##### Rochelle Kit Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room and hotel were exceptionally clean!
