"The hotel was clean. Good place to stop.2023-02-10"
"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. The room was fine. The front desk clerk wasn't friendly at all, and didn't tell us about the $75 deposit charge put on our credit card.

"The hotel clerk was earnest, nice, but overwhelmed. She was alone on her 1st day, and struggled with the computer during check-in, so it took 20 minutes. We ended up getting the wrong room type, but it was clean and we made the best of it.2023-06-03"
"Great rates. The hotel was clean and comfortable. It's a must-stay.2023-04-07"
"I had a pleasant stay. The hotel was quiet and clean. The room was kind of small, but I totally enjoyed the easy chair and ottoman. The towels were new and nice. The only issue was that it took multiple tries to get the key card to work every time I returned to my room. Breakfast was excellent. This place is an excellent choice and absolutely worth the price.2019-06-27"

"Worth a stay. The hotel room and service were great.2020-09-18"
"Close to the VA medical center. The room was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was huge, and there was plenty of hot water.

The carpet and towels were worn and stained, and most of the light fixtures didn't work; the main one didn't even have a lightbulb in it. We were told that coffee would be available at 7 AM, but there was still no coffee 20 minutes later. We won't be staying here again.2021-04-23"

Albuquerque is located in central New Mexico near where I-40 and I-25 cross. It is 60 miles southwest of Santa Fe. It is the home of Kirtland AFB and the University of New Mexico.
I have had great results with HotelGuides. I switched from the others and now use HotelGuides most of the time.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
