Very nice Native American decor makes this hotel unique & interesting. Although an older hotel it is well maintained and clean & had everything we needed with spacious rooms. Pool & restaurant on site & lots of free parking. Would stay again.

Hyatt Place Albuquerque Airport
Close to ABQ airport. Did not use amenities because the lobby's alarm was malfunctioning. It was loud and had been reported when I checked in. It was still on when I checked out. The alarm is a health hazard to your staff.
