Unique place on route 66

My husband and I spent one night here. It was very unique. Right on the old Route 66. It was quiet and comfortable. The staff was excellent. It was definitely different but in a great way! Walkable to restaurants and shops.

The property is beautiful colors but first room we checked into was not cleaned vacuumed needed to be done and wiped down food was left on the floor and cup stains from drinks on the lamp table. Second room was okay. Stains on the rug and bathroom was not cleaned well. Eyelash extensions were still on the floor from previous people. The tarp in the pool area was torn and the area itself feels very unsafe. The gas station next door was all bulletproof. Will never stay again. It was a hotel 8 vibe with beautiful decor.

A Zazzy Time

I travel for work and enjoy finding new and fun hotels to stay at. I loved the vibe here, the bed was super comfortable and the staff was great. I did not get to enjoy the speakeasy or spa. I felt safe here, walking at night. The hotel is at the east end of the Nob Hill area, I would stick to the west when walking. Great food options nearby, I've always liked this part of town and I'm happy to have found Hotel Zazz.

We really enjoyed our sty. The hotel was in a great location. The color scheme and artistic nature of the hotel was beautiful. It is clean and well maintained. The speakeasy bar was a fun attraction. My only complaint was our room wasn’t cleaned on our first day so we were lacking towels and coffee.

The place is right across the street (old Route 66!) from an ART station. That bus system is currently (2025) free to all and a great way to get to most of Albuquerque.

This was the worst experience ever and that's that we spent 99 percent of our time at the hospital with my daughter while she was giving birth to a beautiful baby girl. They not only overcharged us extremely but accused us for damages that were already there. Management refuses to reach out to me. $500 was charged to my daughters card with out permission.
