The Imperial

8/10 Good

"Nothing fancy. Just a good clean place to stay."

The Querque Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here during the busiest time of the year for Albequerqe, Balloon Fiesta. The hotel receptionists were all very kind and accommodating, even at 4am! The room was nice, and they did their best to clean while we were at the fiesta. They offered a grab and go breakfast since we would be out during the regular service. I was disappointed the regular service had no protein, just pancakes, waffles, bagels, etc. Wifi worked pretty well, and the courtyard was a nice place to relax in the afternoon. I didn't use pool or exercise room. I would definitely stay here again. The location is good and even though close to the freeway, we couldn't hear it (we were on that side of the building)."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Albuquerque Midtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. Breakfast was sparce and cold unless you were there when it opened. The biggest issue was the noise. Family in the room above ours thumped around all hours of the night. The hallways were very noisy all through out the night with people coming and going and talking right outside our door."

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel, room and casino were all clean; staff were welcoming, helpful, and cheerful. I booked reservations at The Juniper restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The restaurant is lovely; we have enjoyed excellent meals/service at here in the past. However, our dining experience this time did not meet our expectations. Our server misled us on one appetizer and forgot the other one. When he finally brought out the correct appetizer, he also brought out our entrees. We sent the entrees (prime rib & lamb chops) back so we could enjoy the appetizers first. When the meal was served (after we finished the apps,) the med-rare prime rib I ordered was well done; the lamb wasn’t much better. I asked the server to return the prime rib for med-rare. He told me the kitchen staff must have left the original plated dishes under the warming lights, I.e., they had not prepared new meals but had kept the original meals warming until they were ready to be re-served. The replacement prime rib was excellent . And, the Seafood Chowder was outstanding! We would however, based on previous excellent dinners, likely return."
