Great location-few minutes walk to old town albuquerque..comfy bed..hot water in shower..good amenities..their was a slight moldy/sewer like smell at times but with older hotel sometimes it happens..good made fresh breakfast but as a vegan would be nice to have option for tofu scramble or plant based item besides toast and oatmeal that is usually only breakfast item on menu at hotels and rarely plant based milk..that should always be option with all the lactose intolerant people and vegans.

We like to stay at the Best Western Rio Grande because it is easily accessible, close to Old Towne, it is clean, the grounds are well kept, the staff is great and there’s a restaurant that offers a selection for a free breakfast instead of corn flakes and a waffle. We had our small service dog with us and they were very accommodating.
