Nice Hotel, couple issues

The staff were friendly, the rooms are small but comfortable. If there were any issues, the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking/singing. Also the hotel is across from a park that is occupied by the homeless community. While there were no issues we had a room facing the park and had to listen to a man yelling at the top of his lungs nonsense at 7 in the morning. It went on for about 45 mins. Then it stoppes and we heard nothing for the rest if our stay.

The area around this place is a little sketchy, and parking can be difficult if you don't feel like valeting. Was not a fan of the restaurant on the property. I ate dinner and breakfast there, and it was underwhelming. My room was also out of shampoo. I only stayed one night.

Cute and chic.

Cutest hotel ever! The vibe is giving retro meets Southwest. Staff is kind. Rooms look impeccable. The lighting is fabulous. Zero complaints. You have to valet your car, but it’s in a gated area so that’s a win.

Really cool affordable hotel. Mad max 60’s vibe but new. Surrounded by cool murals. Lots of art and attention to detail. AC worked amazingly and the beds were beyond my expectations for comfort. The attached restaurant was good and a little pricey. The crispy blocks of hash brown and the cowboy coffee were stand outs for me. The valet service is a much needed $25 upgrade for the area, but the lot was very secure looking and no one stole any of our exposed camping equipment. Two things that could be improved that everyone complained about were the bathroom doors and the water. We were traveling with family and the bathroom doors are sliding barn doors with a kind of wavy semi transparent glass. Cool to look at, but privacy and comfort trying to change clothes/shower without family seeing us was challenging. Some in our party were frustrated with a lack of a latch to lock the door. I would suggest putting some additional frosted film on the doors in the suites and double rooms as well as a latch on the inside. We got to the hotel late at night after an 8 hour drive and we were thirsty and tired. There was no convenient store around and the only water available to us was abq tap water, a really slow tap with ‘filtered’ water at the gym fill up station, and $13 fancy glass bottles in the room. It would be nice if you at least made the filter in the gym work a little better instead of taking 5 tries and 4 minutes to fill a standard size bottle with luke warm water.

We loved the vibe of this hotel, close to alot to do but we were just traveling through but everything was great until we tried to sleep and it was so noisy, I mean loud. They supply earplugs. No coffee in room was a downer also.

This hotel is modern for young people. We traveled with our family which wasn't ideal for this hotel but worked for the night. Although it was a pet friendly hotel they hardly have anything that makes traveling with a pet convenient. The only place to take your dog to relieve itself is the park across the street which was fine during the day but not safe at night. Also our room was on the street side which was incredibly noisey from the cars but luckily it didnt go on into the night. Overall the room was nice, clean and the bed was really comfy.

The room was clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows, lack of small amenities such as coffee maker and microwave. The surroundings of the hotel were very noisy and uneasy/unsafe feeling due to homeless beggars and witnessing deficating outside the hotel. Lack of parking which forced to pay a high cost for valet.

Loved this hotel

We loved the roomy bathroom and the decor of the room. The king bed was the best of our 10 day trip. It was very quiet with a great vibe. The frig was fully stocked. We would definitely stay there again.
