This hotel is clean and well maintained. Although I don't feel hotels along the Interstate are very safe in Albuquerque, I like the location of this one. Close to a lot of good restaurants.

Everything was great except 2 things. 1) Shower pressure is very weak 2) The waitress wouldn’t let my husband sit at a table in the breakfast area to have his coffee if he wasn’t ordering food, but then he saw another couple sit down there to have coffee without ordering food and the waitress allowed it. It wasn’t that they were so full that they needed tables for ppl who wanted to order——all the tables were empty except one. It felt very unaccommodating and had never happened to us before at other Hilton Garden hotels.

Not Great.
The check-in was a breeze. The clerk at the front desk was very kind. We got in late, so we decided to have dinner and drinks at the hotel. The pizza was burnt and hard. The worst part was that they would not allow my SIL sit on the restaurant side because she had a service dog. At dinner and breakfast, they wanted us to sit in a separate room. She was embarrassed and felt very discriminated against. Please train your staff on what is allowed according to the ADA Act! I’m surprised this happened at a Hilton. So disappointed.

Nice Newer Hotel
This property appeared to be very new. It was very clean and the furnishing appeared to be new. There were just a few things that I would touch on. Due to the rate we received through Hotels.com we did not qualify for the breakfast. It is $16 and not worth it. The eggs were dry and if you wanted bacon it was an upcharge. There is a Denny's across the street and a Cracker Barrel right next-door and those would be a better choice for the money. The TV only had streaming service. It was hard to find local programming. Older travelers without streaming experience might never find local programming. Every day at 7 am the garbage truck came right outside our window and it was LOUD. Look for a room in the lower numbers because that is the other end of the hotel. The A/C was out in the lobby and thankfully it was not extremely hot right now but hopefully, it will be fixed soon. Overall the employees were very nice and accommodating. It is a nice property, fix the a/c for the lobby and give the continental breakfast to everyone. Located right next to the highway it is convenient to downtown, old town, and other areas.

So, we stayed here because of the reviews being so good and it was on our way up I-25. It is conveniently off of I-25 and has restaurants near by. There is a restaurant inside the hotel which has great food as well. We have a little doggie, and that was another plus for us to be able to have him stay in our room for the night. Our double queen bed room was clean and comfy and spacious. The A/C and facilities all worked well except the water spout in the tub was loose and made us feel like it would come off of the wall if we weren't careful. The shower water pressure was very high which I liked. There is plenty of well lit parking and I felt our vehicles would be safe. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. A couple of issues we had were the unexpected surprise of having to pay $4 per night for parking. There is no free breakfast either, but they have a morning breakfast buffet for $16 ea if you want to dine in the hotel restaurant area. The elevator floors both needed to be replaced as the LVT flooring was separating and becoming a tripping hazard. I almost tripped on the floor in one of the elevators and reported it to the check-in desk which they quickly addressed. The price for a room is fairly reasonable for this area and they didn't charge us half of the cost of the room with a ton of fees you would normally find in other large cities. Overall, great place to stay and we will probably stay here again if we need a great hotel in Albuquerque.
