Easy access and checkin. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Layout of hotel is a little confusing but not distracting. The restaurant is fantastic and highly recommended. Will stay again.

Nativo Lodge Hotel Albuquerque
Nice clean place... tv wasn't working, the cable was messed up, which was crap, especially being we were in the presidential suite for 3 nights. So make sure you check everything when u walk in asap, not late at nite.
