    ARRIVE We loved this place! A 1960's motor lodge renovated beautifully. Comfy bed, fluffy towels, funky decor! Big tv. Great mini-bar! Really like the walk in shower. Nice amenities-robes, good hair dryer, steamer for my wrinkled clothes, ear plugs, Qtips, cotton pads and wonderful shampoo and lotion. Beautiful pool with big towels and nice lounge chairs. Great valet parking in a fenced area. There are homeless in the park across the street, but they were very benign.

    New hotel alert! ARRIVE Albuquerque is a historic rehabilitation of the 1965 Downtowner Motor Inn (most recently The Hotel Blue) - a Route 66 landmark, btw. It features 137 guest rooms, a cocktail bar/restaurant aka DWNTWNR, and and a pool. I locked in a great rate - like $130/night - for a work trip, and I fully enjoyed my stay. Except for one thing. The rooms are motel-style, meaning they open directly to the outside; and as a solo traveler, I didn't like that my room faced the city park (which is kinda inhabited by unhoused compounds). I would have preferred to face the pool. But, they do lock the front doors at 9pm and you need your key to enter. They also have a doorman/valet guys out front at all hours it seemed. The room decor is so cute... I was pleasantly surprised. And the bath products were great, and I loved the extra touches (steamer, ear plugs, black makeup washcloth, face pad). Nice bedding, great rr lighting. Def check out DWNTWNR for drinks on the patio or try some of their red chili sprinkled fries. Front desk was great! I also overheard a staffer saying that they're going to start selling day pool passes to non-hotel guests, so locals take note!

    I have not had a chance to stay at the hotel yet, however, I have been to The Downtowner several times. It's a fun cute little place to get drinks. Usually a precursor to our next venue, the patio is intimate as well as the inside. Looking forward to trying their slushy drinks, just find them to be over priced. Service has always been satisfactory.

    Extremely Disappointed - Poor Management, Unsafe Conditions, and Unprofessional Treatment We are extremely disappointed with our stay and how we were treated, not only by the staff but also by management. They accused us of damaging a door in their old, poorly maintained building. When they moved us to another room, we found the same unsafe issues with that door as well -- all of which we have documented with photos. They then attempted to add completely invalid extra charges to our bill. They made false accusations against us and even had housekeeping take unauthorized photos of our room. We smoked outside the building -- there were no non-smoking signs posted anywhere identifying the property as "non-smoking," other than a small notice in the elevator (which is standard and not sufficient). The manager herself, along with security, inspected our room and confirmed there was no smell or evidence of smoking inside. We requested housekeeping three times before they finally came after the fourth request. Upon check-in, we were also provided rooms with used hygiene products, which is completely unacceptable. While a few staff members were professional, the overall experience with both staff and management was unacceptable. All reviews will be completed, and I will be contacting corporate regarding this experience.

    Good spot to catch the Sunday night low rider shows. Hotel is really cute and near good food and art galleries. The actual restaurant in the hotel is pretty ok, smashburger was tasty (what smash burger isn't) but the nachos were a tad cold and not very impressive. Besides that, the staff was very, very kind. It was also reassuring to know they're watching out 24 hrs a day.

    This refurbished hotel at the edge of Central in downtown Albuquerque was a surprising find and a relaxing stay overall. I arrived on a Friday night and downtown was bustling with a classic car/lowrider show, which made for some noise and lively atmosphere. The hotel's design is lovely, retro, and playful all at once. While I was visiting for a few nights, the bar/restaurant was sometimes understaffed but everyone was attentive and helpful. This isn't a standard hotel in that the amenities and service seem more befitting for most boutique hotels I've experienced rather than a huge chain hotel. Don't look for microwaves in the room or 24 hour room service. That is for a big chain hotel. The other thing to acknowledge is the practicalities of where this hotel is. Central/downtown Albuquerque isn't always the safest-seeming place. The hotel is directly next to a park where unhoused people sometimes sleep. Having lived in Albuquerque many years ago, common sense considerations should be made for safety. For example, I was happy to pay the extra for valet service, knowing that my car would be safe. And that process was super easy (plus that staff was very nice). Overall, a great stay. And I am more than happy to stay here again in the future. Albuquerque doesn't always have quirk/whimsy and this place certainly did.

The tavern itself is sort of rustic, and you choose where you sit. Some announcements were scrolling on the tv while we were hanging out and it made it clear to us that this was a neat community spot where cool things happen. We kept it simple and got the mac and cheese to share, and it was so dang good! Creamy, rich, and the crispy onions on top were clearly made from scratch. The portion was perfect for the 2 of us. Our expectations weren't super high being a sort of pub food place, but the quality blew us away. Our server was awesome, quick and genuinely kind and personable. You could tell he likes what he does, even being there on his bday. It was super chill inside, and you could tell from the other people at the bar that this is definitely a place where people are regulars and love to see the people who work there. If you are in the area, don't underestimate this place. Also keep an eye on their event calendar if you're local or visiting for a few days, it looks like they host some really fun events. This stop gave us perspective into the area and the vibe really made us think we could relocate one day!

I knew after dinner we may wanna grab 1 more drink so I had checked to see if there were any new spots sine the last time we were in town. I hadn't heard of this Teddy Roe's so we grabbed a reservation for the late evening. After getting dropped off by a car we tried to find the entrance. I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

I don't care for jazz. But it was great music and the place was packed. Everyone was enjoying it all and the vibe was a good one to be around. Arcy was behind the bar and suggested a few drinks. They were both good. Deviled eggs were good and the pickled purple onions were a good touch - though I still haven't come across deviled eggs that are better than my own The special of the day was pork chops. I'm not a pork person but I chanced it anyhow. I'll have to say, it was probably the best pork chop I've ever had. They sousvided it and it came with apple butterand it all worked beautifully. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Well done!

The burger was fantastic! Served with your choice of salad or fries. ( I picked salad - trying to be healthy ) The Martini was a bit shocking at first sip... it got better as I drank it. I thought maybe the EVOO was good for my health too . I might not order it again, but I enjoyed the adventure! Service was a bit slow, due to limited staff early on. Later, more staff arrived...just in the nick of time. I got there at 7pm, maybe that was a bit too early.

We went here for a low key place to paint and spend some time. They put up with us doing art at the table well and allowed 2 of us to sit at a big round corner booth to have some quiet and privacy. The place was actually surprisingly loud when we arrived with some loud groups and sound carrying, but it quieted down later. This was a weekday evening. Our server was very nice and helpful in us selecting our drinks. The drinks were fancy and good. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pumpkin spice martini off- season. I really enjoyed the drinks I had. I ordered mushroom flatbread and it was plentiful and very tasty.

It's also listed as rooftop. Which it is... but it's on the second story. Either way, they did a great job with the space.

The space has been flipped around so the bar is on the opposite side it used to be. The bar is larger but the space is the same size leaving the seating area a bit cramped. Service was well enough I believe it was their first day of service so they are finding their footing. I did not try a signature cocktail however, expect to spend $15-$17 which I guess is standard these days. I had a vodka soda (my go-to) and we went outside. The patio is much more open compared to the old space, and the vibe is more boho chic with funky accents and wicker chairs. They have these fun swinging chairs outside, however , I found their placement a bit odd, because they are right in front of the dual service bar top and there's only two chairs. The music was big band, and swing and the vibe was chill, it was a precursor to our next venue but still relaxing for a Sunday afternoon. Also one thing to note is that they do not serve the downstairs menu upstairs but serve "snacks". Beef jerky, nuts, that sort of thing. Go check them out and help support local. I expect to go back again soon and will update.
