Sandia Resort And Casino
Hotel and casino was great. Staff was extremely rude and not helpful at all. Everyone we asked questions seemed bothered by it, or just simply rude. Probably wouldn’t return.

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel
Loved our stay here, we will definitely be back! Due to vehicle trouble, we arrived very late. We were greeted with warmth and compassion making us feel comforted and at ease. Our room was very clean, the beds and pillows were very comfortable.

Nativo Lodge Hotel Albuquerque
The artist rooms are really cool and the overall decor is appealing. However the overall hotel needs just a little more maintenance. The mandatory amenities fee of $20/day was an unwelcome surprise.

Best Western Airport Albuquerque InnSuites Hotel & Suites
The hotel has all basic functions you should expect. It has a ban 24/7 between the airport and hotel but could not accommodate our party of six at the same time. They did make two trips to make sure we all arrived at the hotel about the same time. It is safe to walk the area around the hotel.
