Econo Lodge Albuquerque Old Town
I didn't like the surroundings, a little dirty. The bathroom was average but the sink area started and the water did not go down well. To be able to turn the lights on and off, it was difficult because the receptacles were not in their best condition. The breakfast was good.

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.
