The Querque Hotel
Had stayed here many times without any problems but this stay was very unpleasant. There was smell of vaping and marijuana throughout the 3rd floor almost the whole night. I may not stay here again.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Albuquerque
Everything from checking in to checking out was great. The Hospitality is warm and welcoming. We were there only over night but I wish we could have stayed longer. The only thing I want to know is…Where can I buy those bed pillows from and the mattress. I slept so comfortably and sound. 🌺
