Great for Our Short Stay

Easy to access even with the construction going on, on University. My husband and I were visiting for a doctors appointment and wanted something within close proximity of UNM Hospital. About a 6 minute drive from hotel to hospital. Also close to lots of things to do. Our favorite go-to was the Coronado Mall, also about a 8-10 minute drive, depending on traffic. The room was quiet, regardless of the construction and close location to I-40 and I-25, clean, and perfect for our short 2 night stay. Only small complaint, we didn't realize the rooms didn't have microwaves until arrival, but it wasnt too big of a deal to us. Every employee we dealt with was polite and professional. Secuirty always running around the parking lot, even in the middle of the night. We have to come back to Albuquerque again in September and November, we are definitely considering coming back both times.
