Sonesta ES Suites Albuquerque
Room is generous, well equipped, good bed, however the overall facility is a little tired but that is easily overlooked with the extremely convenient location. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Stayed 6 days in a King efficiency unit.

The Querque Hotel
Indoor pool are so warm. The place is clean and good place to sleep. Would like have full size mini fridge - the small freezer is so small that I hardly put my ice pack in there. Would like have microwave in the room too, instead of going down to the cafe/lobby to use their microwave.
