Top hotels in La Mesa

Nativo Lodge Hotel Albuquerque
"Showed up but no one was working other than the check in clerk. Everyone was off for the 4th of July holiday. It was horrible, the restaurant was closed too! The exhaust fan didn’t work so we couldn’t shower, there was a huge cockroach in the bathroom too. It was not a good stay at all."

The Querque Hotel
"The room was clean; the staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient. The A/C was more than adequate. The only problem I had was with the water flow in the bathroom sink; the hot water pressure was very weak and took forever to get hot and managed to reach a lukewarm temperature at best. ..."
