I was beyond impressed by this hotel. The retro midcentury modern decor so beautifully designed and executed. The staff from valet to front desk to the servers was amazing! Everyone was so polite and eager to make this the best stay. The beds are very comfortable. The room is a perfect size for 1 to 2 guests. The property is located in the heart of downtown, so you can walk to a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and etc within a few minutes. I can’t wait to visit again and stay here again, it really made my first visit to ABQ so special!

First the room was not ready when we arrived at 5:30. Did not realize that this was a valet only parking, $25 a night plus tips to valet driver every time you want to go places. The room had a wooden bed frame that stuck out from the mattress. Toes and shins crashed into all the time when you came out of the bathroom. The bathroom door was a barn door. It was very hard to slide open can easily break fingernails. The shower has only a half glass door and when the shower is on it splashes out onto the floor. Wasn’t happy staying there!

Everything was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall we had a GREAT experience. The only two minor, very minor, complaints we had were for the maid service and general late night loudness. The maid service was practically non- existent so we had to request fresh towels every day, often multiple times before a fresh set was delivered. The neighborhood was convenient to everything but the night club music played very late into the night and could be heard from every room of the hotel. The hotel does however provide ear plugs.

Street noise is LOUD. Boys in loud cars and trucks circle the area until 3am. Especially bad on Friday nights. Hotel.com over charged me for the room and the hotel charged me again when I “arrived”. In all charge close to $400 per night for a stuffy room and $13 bottled water no coffee. The hotel charges $100 per night on a normal week night. I’m unhappy. The hotel did refund me $150, but that doesn’t make this good. The toilet seat was not right when we checked in—you know you sit on the pit and it goes off to the right or left?? They did fix that for me, so that was nice of them.

On checking in I scheduled to have my room cleaned after our second night. We were gone all day and the room wasn’t cleaned and trash was never emptied. By the time we returned it was too late to have it cleaned. The valet system is all via the internet and tipping was difficult unless I downloaded card info to another website and I don’t want to do that. The property looked good on the Expedia website but doesn’t explain that all interactions are electronic.

Noise control terrible. Apparently street riders are a thing of today. I did that in the80’s. Also police officers obviously don’t care about the community. Bar closes at 10 pm on a Saturday. Disappointed. Came for the 500 hot air balloons to see 12. Never coming back. Free parking on the street while homeless Rome the streets. No free parking. It’s $25 to park
