We booked this hotel because we had spent many hours on the road and needed the hot tub for my husbands back. We arrived and was told that the hot tub and hotel was in the stages of repair and the hot tub wasn't available.

The hotel was nice & decent. The breakfast was pretty good with options. The room was comfortable and clean. We've stayed here in the past and obviously came back. Our only issue was the smell of weed that filled our room everyday. We were near an exit and either people were lighting up in their rooms or were going outside just past our room and smoking. It was absolutely disgusting and nauseating. We go to ABQ every year for a conference and although we don't have issues with the actual hotel, we will probably stay across the street for now on. The weed was just to much!
