Enjoyed my stay. Clean room, half the staff was welcoming. I enjoyed the flowers around the hotel. Breakfast and coffee was good. If you walk away from breakfast hungry it's most likely your own fault. A little disappointed the closest laundry is a few miles away. Short walk to Old Town, plenty of shopping and food. There is a pool, although I did not swim.

This location is perfect for anyone just starting to get around Albuquerque! I have stayed here 3+ times and this hotel has been the most clean, comfortable, AFFORDABLE, and reliable!! Thank you to the owners and staff that make it such a great experience each time we visit Albuquerque. It's become a home away from home for us.

BEST HOTEL WE HAVE ALONG ROUTE 66 at its price point. Great consideration by the staff for us. Great rooms (very large and clean) good enough internet speed (compared to others. Good warm water… properly folded towels (looks new too). They have a pool and spa.. and wait theres more… THEY HAVE A GREAT BREAKFAST… The best over all others we stayed in. I cant thank enough the owner and its staff for wowing (is this a word) us… No wonder they won many awards. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED when in rio grande and Albuquerque…

The gentlemen who were powerwasing walkway, prevented our valuables from being stolen!! We accidentally left hotel door open. They were keeping an eye out making sure nobody entered our room. Bless them both! They absolutely deserve a raise in pay. The integrity they have shown in representing the hotel and protecting guests belongings is OUTSTANDING!I will definitely be staying with Econo Lodge throughout our travels. Those workers really do deserve a raise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Grateful veterans

I generally stay at three or four star hotels. I was actually afraid to book here even though it had great reviews. My trip was extended, and I was trying to save money. I was pleasantly surprised at the value I received here. The hotel seems to be very well run And everybody was friendly and accommodating. It was safe and I would definitely stay here again and recommend

Nice motel close to old town and restraunts that are easy walking distance. The room was clean and large. Breakfast was way better than expected.

My husband and I arrived entered the room and it obviously was not cleaned since the last peoples stay and the smell of cigarettes was overpowering. Went to front desk and the gentleman was very nice and gave us another room. Also pretty gross.I thought there was a bug in the bathroom sink and I pulled a wad of hair out! Floor was filthy and hairs in bathtub and around toilet. I understand it is a budget hotel but come on. Unfortunately we do not recommend this hotel. The photos speak for themselves.

Good property for the price. Rooms were clean and functional. Wish the hot tub looked better, I love hot tubs but this one looked a bit sketchy so I avoided. However staff were respectful of elite status perks and room was clean. Fancy HVAC system, ABQ gets hot so I liked that. Would stay again.

Found on Yelp so we decided to try rates were great and pet friendly. Walking distance to many local attractions. Nice staff hot breakfast waffle, banana, yogurt hard boiled eggs, and pastries. They are working on the lobby so a nice lady served breakfast. Rooms are comfy. Microwave and small refrigerator in rooms. Some street noise but easy access to parked car.

This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at. I got 2 rooms and they both were so gross. I have pictures to show what I mean. The floors were sticky, the sheets were dirty, there was black mold in the shower, shower head falling off the wall, smelled like cigarettes and dog pee and the exterior was also very gross. The pool was dirty with weird black stains all over the inside of it. We didn't go in there. The lobby was ripped up and smelled like old food. My car broke down so we couldn't leave till the morning but honestly it would have been better to sleep in my car.

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!!! The lovely pictures they show of this place are a complete fabrication! The pictures shown on Priceline NOT even if this hotel. The hotel smells dirty and musty. The rooms are dingy and dirty, the furniture is old and worn out and there appears to have been a pest problem. The website also claims that this hotel has a restaurant which is does not! We decided to leave so I took screenshots of the pictures they showed on Priceline and walked around taking pictures of what the hotel actually looks like. When I entered the lobby to take pictures of the disastrous construction zone, the hotel manager, Elena assaulted me, pushed me out of the way and try to knock the phone out of my hand! I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau but I SHOULD have called the police and filed assault charges against this woman!

I am not someone to complain about a motel room, but this place was disgusting. Stains all over the sheets, weird puddle spots on the floor, musty AC, and cleaning smell so strong it started to give me a headache. There were other gross items that I could overlook, like stained chairs or a caved in king mattress, but you at LEAST have to provide sheets that aren't covered in tons of stains. I wouldn't recommend this nasty motel to my worst enemy. Go to a motel 6 instead! The only reason we stayed was because we got this through the Hotwire hot rate, which I'm now avoiding in the future because of this monstrosity.

When I made the reservation, when I visited the website, when I got my confirmation, nothing was mentioned that the hotel was going through renovations and that the pool, and hot tub were closed. And that the breakfast area was closed to guests. While the room looked like it was recently painted, it was awful, dirty, and had many issues. Some of them are listed below. There were long black hairs on the floor. I am bald, my wife has short gray hair. There were not our hairs. There were dead bugs in the corners of the room. There were dirty footprints on the sleeper sofa cushions and the sofa was so worn and saggy that it was hard to sit on it. The desk chair seat was dirty, and had holes in it. Also no desk lamp. There was this weird deep drain in bathroom right by the toilet with ants coming out. The floor lamp by the sofa work broken. I paid extra to upgrade to the suite with a whirlpool tub. The 3 jets in the tub that I could see had mold/mildew in them. We certainly did not want to sit in the bath water and have them spraying at us. The shower head was covered with rust and slime. Did not want that spraying on us either, but every couple days you need to shower. My credit card was charged a different amount than my booking confirmation and my email confirmation. WHATS UP WITH THAT? Only a few dollars, but this is so wrong. I may have to file a dispute with MasterCard. I am very surprised that Choice Hotels lets their name be associated with this property. It was beyond awful.

Staying here was a real bummer. The room smelled awful even though it was advertised as a non-smoking room. The thermostat for the AC was broken, so adjusting the temperature was not an option. The "refrigerator" froze our water even though it was on the lowest setting. The TV was smaller than a picture frame, it was not a smart TV (it's 2022. How is this not a standard feature?) and it was mounted so lazily on the wall at a 45 degree angle. When I checked in, I noticed that the overnight employee had the wrong person's info pulled up on the screen even though he had my ID right in front of him. It was a person with the same first name and completely different last name. I brought this to his attention and he responded with "Oh, it's probably because you booked through a third party (Priceline) and they entered your info wrong." I showed him my Priceline confirmation with my name spelled correctly and he continued to try to put the blame on them. He never admitted that he simply looked up the wrong person in the system. I kept asking for some reassurance that I would be getting the right room and that we weren't double-booked. He was no help at all. Avoid this place.

I stayed one night with my kids and dogs and have been charged over 400 dollars they say only 86 and 15 but my bank statements say different, This is the second time i have been charged these numbers, the office says i deserve this treatment we got because they found a yellow towel and they knew it was my dog also the seat was ripped so it had to be my dog as well i cleaned that room spotless and even showed the maid before i left and she said it was clean and then when we left the charges began i will never stay at that hotel again far-less recommend it to anyone which is a real shame because they do have a nice set up

Definitely doing the bare minimum to stay operational. For 120$ a night my expectations are for no ants and a TV that works consistently.

We had a "pet friendly" room but it felt as though pet owner rooms were unattended by housekeeping ,and we had to take what we got. It wasn't a cleanly space for pets or humans. Housekeeping hadn't filled courtesy items (e.g. soap) and the floors were very dirty.

This is a modest but clean, decent and modern hotel a short distance from Albuquerque's historic center area. Besides offering great value for travelers, we wanted to commend the manager Kathleen. She was pleasant and efficient, and gave us excellent advice on dinner options. Later that night we were unable to operate the remote control for the video screen. First, Kathleen offered us a new clicker. When that didn't work, she offered to come up to our room and troubleshoot the system. She diagnosed that the remote had to be reset so it synchronized with the room's screen and fixed the issue. "I read the instruction manual," she explained modestly. I don't understand the negative reviews this place received. This place was fine.

on our cross country road trip this is 2nd on the list of worst hotels- only surpassed by our reno hotel stay that sucked. this room was not up to par- shower bar is half way falling off, water spigot in sink sprays everywhere, stains on the floor, uncomfortable beds and lumpy pillows. the fridge was not plugged in and chilled and had a smell from sitting there unplugged. took hours to cool down and stop smelling for us to put our food in it. the pool needs major redoing- the hot tub water was cloudy with things floating in it. yuck and most importantly we were put- as a mother and young child- in a room right across from the VERY LOUD ice machine. people getting ice at 11pm, 5am- very disruptive of sleep. but the bed was not comfy so already was having bad sleep. would not stay here again on the positive side the front desk lady was nice and she called ahead of time to confirm our arrival- no other hotel has done that. so she has been great- but the stay here not so great

Do not stay here I promise you you'll regret it. I booked through Hotwire, I arrived late with my wife and had to use the restroom so I gave the clerk my ID and card and used the restroom I come back to have two hundred dollars charges to my account. I asked her about the charges and she denied everything. Got to the room and the ac doesn't work, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Do not stay here.

First, I love hardwood floors in a motel! No carpeting! True, the outdoor areas were run down. I thought the inside of the room was perfectly adequate and pleasant considering the price! Second, room was extremely clean, and consider the ridiculously low price! Outside, it's a bit dusty and there were some fallen leaves, etc. But who cares, inside the room is what matters. Third, night desk person was very nice and told me I had to hurry to eat in old town because it closes early, at 9 pm (important for a New Yorker to know this)! Fourth, old town is like a 3 minute walk away, so you get the benefits without the high price! Fifth, ample parking though we arrived late (you know how some motels run out of spots?). Sixth: extreme kindness. I left a bag in the room by accident. The hotel shipped it to me in NYC for a nominal fee. They answered my emails and calls. What great service! I am definitely staying here again when I am in ABQ. You can't get more for this price!

Do not pre-book at this hotel and ask to see your room first!! Very thin walls and can definitely hear your neighbors next door! We pre-paid online for a king size suite and after check in around 10pm, our neighboring room had 6 very loud teenagers partying (it looked like they were occupying 2 rooms but decided to hang out next to our room). We asked the hotel clerk to be moved to another room that wasn't directly next to this rambunctious group (we didn't care that they were loud, we just didn't want to share a wall with that room). The hotel clerk said yes she would change us to a different room with 2 queen beds upstairs and we said great, that's perfect... then after waiting a few minutes for her to check other room availability, she said she wasn't authorized to switch our room at all!!! Instead, she decided the best way to resolve the issue was to call the adjacent room to tell them to be quiet (we told her that calling wasn't necessary and that it would only escalate the issue....we just wanted a different room). At this point, we didn't feel comfortable staying next to the loud group, especially after they watched us unload our car directly into the room next to them and clearly knew we were unhappy with their noise level. We're still working on getting a full refund for a room that we never stayed in (we did receive partial refund but are still out $100). We just wanted a good nights sleep and to save a few bucks by booking here but instead wasted an hour of our time and had to find another place last minute, actually losing money :/ We ended up booking at Nativo Lodge... only $50 more per night with excellent rooms, very safe and VERY quite. Save your time, and book somewhere else with sound proof walls and avoid a huge hassle!

The sheets were really stained. We asked for another room and the second room sheets were also stained. The bathrooms were a little dirty.

I have been a loyal choice customer for quite a number of years. I was down in Albuquerque to conduct business and checked into the reviews of this hotel. I decided to reserve a room and proceeded to have one of the worst experiences in all my years of traveling. I don't expect to be wined and dined when I pick a hotel but the customer service I received upon checking in and the action taken by the real manager tell me this hotel should be avoided at all cost especially if you are a service disabled military veteran with a service dog to assist you! I tried to check in and the Harpie Karen twit behind the desk, who misidentified herself as a manger, refused to check me in to the reserved room since I had a pet with me. I explained and my dog was clearly identified as my service dog and she proceeded to try and overcharge me for a room with two beds that pets were permitted to stat in! A clear violation of the ADA. Back and forth finally I decided to go to a different hotel and would advise anyone not trying to get ripped off or being treat like crap to avoid this place like the plague. I have taken a photo of the real managers response black listing me and telling me to use another hotel in the future! Awesome business practice! Do not recommend for people with disabilities, veterans or anyone who gives a damn about being treat like a human being! AVOID THIS PLACE!!

Professional motel stayer here -- and I really enjoyed my stay, the room was lovely. I have a modern in-room thermostat that worked good and the bed was comfortable. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful, I stopped in asking questions or picked up more coffee packets, and they were very responsive. Breakfast was awesome, and fun to gather with the other guests in the morning for a waffle and juice. I loved the bananas and muffins, which I grabbed every day. The guests here were friendly, I saw a mix of people coming and going, and I never felt unsafe here as a solo female traveler. The view of the mountains is gorgeous. Right now they are in the process of building a lobby pub, which I think is really super cool!! I want to come back and visit when it's done (next month!) I don't drink but I told them I'll drink a good ristretto almondmilk capp in their pub, or a basic coffee :). My only feedback is check the batteries in the thermostat, they're starting to go. Great location, I zipped across Albuquerque, easy spot to come back to. Def Recommend.

Would not recommend we thought we were checking in to a decent hotel but the first things we saw was a dead cockroach, blood on the pillows, dirty toilet, and the fridge smelled horrible.

Do NOT stay here! This is literally the most ghetto hotel I've stayed at. If I could give it 0 stars I would because this place doesn't deserve any stars!! Here are the issues: -So at first glance the room looked old and it smelled musty. - NO elevators and we were placed on the 2nd floor so we had to make multiple trips to unload our luggage. - Parking lot gets crowded. You might have to park somewhere else due to limited spots. -The bed frame was so dirty with hair and dirt. -After a long day of traveling I was excited to relax and watch tv and assumed the tv would have cable but it only had 40 lame channels. ***The last straw was upon check out when the maid came to inspect the room. You would think that after every guest they do laundry but apparently NOT. So there was a dirty hand towel we used to wipe off dirt off our shoes that would literally come off when you wash it. But the maid said "now we have to wash it". Like wtf? Don't you have to wash everything anyways after every guest?! Unbelievable. So therefore we were charged $15 for a little hand towel!! Save your money and don't come here!! You WILL BE CHARGED FOR RANDOM BS!!!***

I'm giving this a star ONLY because the guy at the front desk at 1am (when we checked in) and lady that answered the phone at 3pm were nice and accommodating. There were a couple of sketchy people hanging out in the parking lot at 1am. At first glance the room appeared clean. First time I ever felt the need to put toilet paper on the toilet seat to use it. The sink faucet was missing the centerpiece and was filled with brown, wet, cruddy stuff. The shower curtain was mildewed. Alrhough the bed was clean, the king mattress sunk in on both sides and I could feel the springs underneath when I layed down.

I was recently moving from Orange County, CA to Oklahoma and decided to stop in Albuquerque for a couple of nights because I have friends there and I love Old Town. After reading some reviews, I settled on this hotel, primarily because of its location, price and its "dog friendly" marker. After many hours in the car with my elderly chihuahua, I get to the hotel and begin the check-in. I tell the staff member I have my dog, she is ESA registered and I have the paperwork. The employee says, "OK, sure, but we cannot put you in the room you booked then-- the king suite. I'll have to put you in a double queen." I asked why, and she said, "the king suite has a leather couch." I told her I wouldn't be putting my dog on the leather couch, and my dog is elderly and wouldn't be causing a mess. She said it was their policy no matter what... I relented. However, I asked for a decrease in my price. I had already paid for my two-night stay and I had paid for a king suite-- not a queen double. She would not do this, claiming this was not possible for some reason I cannot remember. I was tired and I wanted the room, primarily so my dog could rest and eat. I usually do not leave bad reviews-- ever. However, this interaction set the tone for the rest of my stay. The heat and air in the room was difficult to operate; it is not like a standard hotel AC unit. There is not a continuous fan option for ambient sound. The walls were quite thin, I could hear the neighbors speaking and their phones ringing. The pipes and plumping were very loud within the walls. The room was decently clean, but the towels smelled like musty smoke-- like they had been in a smoking hotel room. The toilet lid was almost falling off the toilet seat and the shower head could've used an upgrade. This isn't bad choice for a last minute choice, but I would recommend further research if you're staying in Albuquerque for a longer period.

After reading the other reviews it made it very clear to me that l was out of my element staying in this "motel". I travel a lot & always look for comfort & value! I have stayed @ pretty decent hotels that offer both without fanciness! But this place was unbelievable! My room was extremely cold. I couldn't sleep! While they provide instructions on how to work the thermostat it doesn't work! Guess why! It's controlled from the office! Now l was surprised that they offer a generous breakfast! I give them the 2 stars for that! If you're a couple & you don't care where you rest your heads hey that's on you! But if you're a solo female traveler l don't think so!

Stayed here one night on our way out of town. I was bitten by something in the middle of the night. I reported it to management, asked if they wanted to take pictures ("sure?" Was the reply). I Told them it might be bed bugs so to please take it seriously. The front desk seemed indifferent at best. They sent someone up to check the bed, but when they didn't find anything that was the end of it. They told me it was probably a mosquito. I asked them to please send me a document or communication showing that I reported it. They said I would be receiving something from management. It's been a week and I haven't received anything at all. I am still suffering from the bites.

Super disappointed with the lack of compassion this company has and the outright greed. I had a reservation as a stop off on the way to California from Arkansas (Albuquerque is the halfway point on a 24-hour drive). Unfortunately, my van had other plans and overheated, leaving myself and my two small children stranded in Amarillo. I contacted Choice Hotels directly and dealt with a kind and warm representative who attempted to switch my reservation from Albuquerque to Amarillo, keeping within the Choice family brand. We we're about done with the reservation when he reached out to Econo Lodge in Old Town and was met with a rude reply that this particular hotel had "it's own policies" over and above that of Choice Hotels. (What the actual heck?) They further asserted that my ability to cancel my reservation had expired. I tried to then call them directly hoping to speak to a manager and appeal to their better nature and hopefully sense of compassion. The lady who answered the phone began pleasently, but things went south quickly when I inquired after a manager. He was "unavailable" and I could leave a message. I then attempted to convey to her our desperate situation - we needed the funds released from their hotel so that I could get a room within the same brand here in Amarillo so that we could try and figure out how to get back home the next day. She had no care at all and said that she could be "nice" and push our reservation back as far as 6 months but that we would be charged still. When I informed her that this was, in fact, not really a kindness and that I needed those funds for tonight she rudely replied that they were under no obligation to do anything at all. So basically, they just will keep my money and oh well. It didn't matter that Choice Hotels wanted to do the right thing, they had their own greedy agenda in place. Who cares that they left a mom and two babies stranded on the side of the road. Souless, compassionless and apathetic. Please do yourself a favor and do not reserve or book with these greedy leeches.

Friends stay here whenever in town. Small clean reasonable. They accept dogs - which in my book is huge! They do control heat from the office. Which is different. Lol. Close to old town and right on central. Easy to get to i25 from rio grande Ave

We stayed here on March 27th. The WiFi worked only intermittently the afternoon, evening and the following morning. We called the front desk and were told they would reset the router. When that didn't help, a gentleman at from the office said he would come to the room to try and fix the problem. After waiting nearly two hours, the person had not come to the room. We called and told them to forget it. The toilet in our room ran unless we "jiggled" the handle and the hardwood floor was dirty and needed to be swept and mopped. Will we stay here again? Probably. The location is good and the staff was friendly. I just hope they can clean the floors a little better and get the WiFi issue fixed.

This place is a joke. They control the temperature in YOUR room and they don't have an ice machine. I was told I could go to the gas station or Walgreens. Yeah the rooms are clean but the beds are uncomfortable and things are pretty run down. It's fine if you don't mind a hot room and a hard bed this place is for you.

Drive on by. Had reservations confirmed for a king bed. Arrived on site, oh, you have a pet! $5 fee to change room to a pet friendly room, two queen beds across from noisy ice maker. Dirty smelly room! If traveling with a pet, bypass this poorly operated property! Kicker was they only had 5 cars in the lot that night!

It is one of many hotels on Route 66 and it is close to the Old Town. The hotel offers amenities like complimentary breakfast, indoor pools, bike rental, and even lunchtime posole. Customer service were decent; the staff was friendly and provided information to us! We will be sure to check out this hotel when we're back in Albuquerque again.

Clean room and courteous staff. Thanks, Ernie! For fifty bucks, you can't beat it! Allow pets. XL bathtub for us 3X guys. All in all, great stay. I hope to be back soon. Oops. Wrong hotel!

Hospitality spoken here: the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are excellent, roomy with big comfy beds and nice clean sheets. Lots of towels, good bathrooms, good WiFi. And check out the free breakfast - excellent bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, hash browns, bagels, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, the works. We normally don't bother with breakfast on a serious road trip but we made an exception because the spread was so good. They also have a marvelous free homemade posole (traditional Mexican corn soup) in the daytime - we had a bowl when we checked in and it immediately refreshed us. And the rates are reasonable. We stayed at four different places on our way west, all in the same price range, and this one was by far the best.

We liked it. Smelled good, bare floors for cleanliness. Breakfast included bacon perfectly cooked. My husband did get bitten several places by something. Small parking lot. Beautiful flowers.

I stayed here for the first time and my experience was decent. My concerns are; no elevator in the entire building, no TV guide, confusing AC/heater setup panel, and broken faucet which was fixed when complained. I wish it is little bit cheaper so I can stay here more.

I am actually here right now, posting this on their wifi. Stayed one night here in Albuquerque after a trip to Santa Fe, so as to be close to the airport for our afternoon flight home. Picked this place for the location (walking distance to old town, which we're about to go explore), and cause it got great reviews, which it *mostly* deserves. Plenty of parking, checkin was super painless, all the employees we've interacted with have been super friendly and helpful, and when I walked into our room, I was immediately impressed: the room is quite spacious given what we paid (I've stayed in hotels for 2-3x as much a night that were a lot smaller), and the floor, I'm pretty sure, is actual hard wood floor, not even the fake stuff (if it is fake, it's a good fake.) Room even comes with a working fridge, a working microwave, an actual table with two chairs and big enough for two laptops across from each other, and plenty of spare outlets. That said, while I'm satisfied, it's not all *totally* perfect. Our AC works fine, but it's quite a bit noisy unless you go bang on it periodically (I think something in its frame is a bit loose or something? If we'd been staying longer, I probably would have mentioned it and they probably would have looked at it, but I was just here one day.) The AC also goes a bit crazy on the humidifier - I'm glad for a humidifier, as it's crazy dry outside, but I also wish we could maybe turn it down a little? Heh. Meanwhile, everything in the room and the bathroom seem clean, and the bed itself is comfortable enough, but the pillows and blankets I can tell aren't the highest quality. And the funniest thing: the wifi is plenty fast, and I haven't had any problems with it cutting out, but apparently they went a bit overzealous in blocking what they apparently thought was just for high-bandwidth traffic, but they're using a solution actually meant for companies to use to block time-wasters, so it blocks a *lot* of stuff. I talked to someone downstairs, he knew they installed that, but had no idea just how much it blocks. I don't know all the tags they're blocking, but I noticed it because I was trying to get to a silly textual web game I play, and yeah. They block all gaming-related websites. Apparently they also block porn, I learned because the guy at the front last night, when I asked if he knew about it, kept saying how silly he thought it was - "tons of people like to go to hotels and watch porn", he kept saying. I just wanted to get to my silly web game (I just tethered my phone for a bit for it), but I suppose that is true enough. So that's pretty silly. He said they're trying to get a higher-bandwidth connection from their ISP, then they're going to hopefully relax the restriction (super-silly: it feels fine already), but meanwhile, just know that's a thing they're doing, and that they don't totally understand what they did. :D

Unprofessional So rude!! I booked my room online for a 2 bed queen smoking. I get a phone call before I arrive asking if I'm sure I wanted the room I reserved? Uh yess ? They put me on hold to see if my room is available & then asked my eta!! When I arrive they charge me another $10 because I have 1 person with me even though I booked a room with two queen beds! The worst part when I call asking for more towels for my room the lady tells me aren't you about to check out in a hour. I respond yes that's why I'm asking for towels so the lady tells me I can come pick up the towels myself! Unbelievable not to mention the tv remotes are broken be careful not to flip the batteries out the - + sign isn't labeled on the remote so you'll spend some time figuring out which way the batteries go in for the remote to work. I don't recommend this place good prices but you get what you pay for.

Thoroughly impressed with their service. Front desk was nice. I definitely did feel welcomed. I was driving from California and have been driving for 15 hours. Front desk was able to get me a room before check in time within minutes. The room is nice and clean and smells good. Definitely what I needed after that long drive.

Friendly staff Clean but sparse room The bed left a lot to be desired, lumpy and OLD. Checked in just after midnight & front desk called to tell me to move my car to paint stripes. Nice of them, but they couldn't have told me when I checked in?? So I got two hours less sleep than I needed. Morning breakfast was better than most with hot, cold, or healthy choices. A++++ on THAT!

This was the second time I have stayed there and the room was remodeled and was great. A microwave, mini fridge and ironing board and iron were in the room. The room was spotless. They are close to Old Town and easy to get anywhere. The prices are great and a full breakfast buffet is free! What more could you want?

This was a pretty nice Econolodge. Tsiry gave me a map of the area. Recommendations for dinner, explained breakfast, amenities etc. all I would hope for! The pool was too cold for our liking, and a dirty towel on the floor in the bathroom that housekeeping missed. Room was in good condition, clean and light.

Have stayed in 5 star hotels worldwide for over $500 a night. No one beats the service of this simple, little hotel. We love front desk Beck M!

OWNERS ARE PREDATORY One of the worst places I have ever stayed. We booked because it was close to Old Town... Big mistake. Highway robbery. Disgusting. Owners are predatory. They know their rooms are not in working order and they continue to rent out. 1) When I complained about the refrigerator not working, I was told they don't leave on to conserve energy. Lie. We pulled the refrigerator away from the cabinet to see if it was plugged in and not only was not plugged in, the 'GUTS' of the fridge were missing. The dust collected looks like it has not been working for over a year or more. 2) Bathroom sink clogged. Not just draining slowly, but clogged. 3) Overall, just dirty. Towles remind me of the towels from the YMCA when I was a kid. Smell like clorox, feel like a brillo pad, and washed over a 1,000 times. 4) We left the next morning and they WOULD NOT refund next two days we had booked. Highway robbery. Disgusting. Owners are predatory. They know their rooms are not clean and in working order and they continue to rent out.

Don't stay here if you don't want to worry about fleas. We stopped here on a road trip and had our dog with us. She's been fine the entire trip. Within 15 minutes of entering the room she started scratching like crazy and we found a red bite on her back. We bathed her in the morning and a huge flea floated off her in the bath. We do use Frontline, but I guess it didn't work. This has added a bit of stress to our trip since we now have to worry about carrying fleas with us. The room also smelled a bit odd and the woman working the night desk wasn't all that friendly. On the positive side, there wasn't much noise, the parking lot is huge, and the free breakfast they serve is pretty good.

Everything would be good if the mattresses were not beat and there was not black mold coming through the ceiling from the upper unit water leak.

The place is under new management as of March 2012 and while I do not know what the place used to be like, it is now one of the best economy motels--if not *the* best--I have ever experienced. We got in late and the owner was very accommodating to our needs, even keeping the spa open after 10pm for us. Rooms were clean and everything--internet, TV, microwave, hairdryer, iron, lights--worked...tho the features were a bit uneven (one of our two doubles had a full-size ironing board and a fridge while the other had no fridge and just a mini-ironing board). Breakfast was outstanding: good selection of fresh fruit, excellent choice of pastries and bread (including passable bagels), dry cereal, and...wait for it...WAFFLES which you make yourself in a waffle iron! Plus a complementary Albuquerque Journal instead of the usual USA Today.
