Check in was kinda rough. The male that checked me in threw my ID at me when giving my ID back to me. At first I didn't think anything of it but I thought, hey, I'm having a bad day too. So, I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "
I guess were all having a day like this". And then he said he was sorry. I get to my room and immediately to the restroom as i just did a 4.5 hour drive. The toilet papeR was down to the last 8 sheets, but i always carry a rol with me just incase. Bed was very comfy and I didnt partake of the breakfast.

The room was very clean. The bed was ridiculously comfortable! Staff was responsive to my needs. Super cold fridge! I would say the only negative was the ice machine was not free. I would definitely stay here again.

I had a fantastic experience during my stay at this hotel. The staff were welcoming and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. I especially appreciated the cozy bed and quiet environment, which made for a restful night’s sleep.
The location was convenient, close to restaurants and the convention center. The complimentary breakfast option was a bonus.
Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle-free stay. I’ll definitely come back here on my next visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Top end of central downtown.
Great location , top of central in downtown. Super soft comfy beds were the highlight. The motel is looking a bit tired but possibly having some update work. A warm welcome and budget friendly, safe & well located.

The room was clean. Plenty of parking and was free and the room had an air conditioner. However, the TV was not hooked up to any antenna or streaming so didn't work. No iron or ironing board and only one hanger for our clothes. The room was sparsely furnished and there were very few places to charge up cell phones or plug in laptop.

Easy to find and some really comfy beds! The place is a bit old, some curtains and sheets show their age, but it was perfect for me since I just needed a place to sleep. It is in a corner of a busy street, so you might hear loud street racing. The staff was so kind and quick! They helped me with a smile when I forgot my keycard inside my room.
Room smelt like must and there was a creaking sound coming from the bathroom. But ut was clean

This is a basic motel which is perfectly fine for a brief stay, no frills stay in in Albuquerque. The room was clean, and the staff was helpful. Shout out to Robert for being quite helpful during my stay. Public transit, which is currently free, is nearby, as are several good restaurants. The motel is close to downtown, and the University of New Mexico is also nearby.

The room served its purpose of having a place to rest/sleep, however, one of our towels were dirty. Had to go request a different one from front desk. Curtains/bedding had cigarette burns in them. One of the reviews mentioned street racing, they weren't lying! You heard it all throughout the night. Another convenience for me was the location, it was near the things I needed it to be.

This was a pretty clean property, the front desk person was acting like it was a pain I had interrupted his phone call, just short with me. No area to walk your dog or service animal except a patch of dirt under a tree. It's also a bit run down, the old Econolodge. I'd stay again for the price, location right off the highway and cleanliness.
