    full size bed with only 1 night stand and 1 reading lamp
    Robert C.

    Got a bargain rate during the Balloon Fiesta, if you and the wife can fit into a single room with a full size bed. 15 story high rise hotel located in downtown Albuquerque amid government buildings and law firms. Area busy during weekdays with workers, but very quiet in the evenings and weekends. Sketchy areas around nearby Central Ave, but no homeless people to be seen -may have been cleared out for the 9 day Albuquerque Balloon Festival We made reservations 4 months in advance and stayed here 4 nights during the last 4 days of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta/Solar Eclipse, and didn't get taken to the cleaners on the hotel rates. Hotel was charging $400+ a night (normally $133) for rooms with one king or two queens. Used 118,625 Hilton Honor Points, the equivalent of $593, for Thursday-Sunday, or $148 a night, all taxes included. Found out later that Hilton was offering a 4 nights stay with 5th night free, too late for us. Parking an additional $17 a night, automatically billed on your room when you check in. 103 parking spaces for 295 rooms. Never had to use the overflow parking at the Albuquerque Civic Plaza underground parking garage 2 blocks away, as large blocks of rooms reserved for bus touring groups. Stayed in room 1015 a connected unit adjacent a corner unit. Consequently the configuration was smaller than rooms with one king size bed, let alone rooms with two queens. Approximately 11' x 11' plus 4' x 6' hallway and 11' x5' bathroom or 200 square feet, with a full size bed, flat screen TV with HBO, ESPN and other premium cable channels. Full size bed, instead of Queen bed, meant for single traveler, as only one night stand and one reading light next to the full size bed, which wife grabbed. Cozy fit for wife and I in the bed, but two overly obese folks would find it cramped. The single night light mean fewer electrical outlets for recharging cell phone, tablets, laptops. Unit came with lounge chair, wheeled desk chair, narrow work desk, and 39" flat screen TV. 10' wide Window spanned the length of the room, with excellent view of the block long empty Wells Fargo Bank parking lot, with mountains in the background, and a view of the nightly Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta fireworks 8 miles away. Mini refrigerator, coffee maker, electronic safe, shower but no tub and no microwave oven. If you can afford this place you don't need to reheat restaurant leftovers. Theft proof closet clothes hangers shows what kind of guests frequent this hotel. Popcorn ceilings popular in the 1950s and 1960s but out of style by the 1980s. Bottom floor has AYCE breakfast buffet at $17 for the hot breakfast, and $10 for the continental breakfast. They opened at 4am during the Balloon Fiesta, and the hotel guests with the bus tours didn't have to pay. We could have blended in with the bus tour folks, but as Hilton Honors Gold members received a $15 per person per day meal credit. I wrote reviews on the following restaurants which we walked to. Slate Street, 515 Slate, open 9am-2pm Tu-Sun near 6th and Lomas green chili, green chili fried chicken sandwich My Mom's, 500 4th st M-F 8-2 two blocks Hilton on bottom floor OMG building La Finca Bowls 300 Broadway M-F 11-6 walk on sidewalks on the one way Marquette Overpass going over the convention center Diaz Kitchen and Sushi 11-8 M-Sat 118 Central, pan fried noodles, New Mexican roll Naruto Noodles 505, 505 Central foods 505 Central ave 11-9 daily, I did not visit these close by restaurants but decently rated by others: Asian Noodle 11-6 M-F, 318 Central/3rd, Thai food Moonwalk 505 Central foods 505 Central ave 11-9 daily, beer, cocktails Thico Pizza 505 Central foods 505 Central ave 11-9 daily, Detroit style pizza Drove to and wrote a Yelp review on Original Cocina 1134 Mountain (go by 3rd, Lomas, 12th) 9am-8pm daily New Mexican food 1.5 miles away, number 1 rated restaurant in Yelp in Albuquerque The Albuquerque Convention Center area is a high crime area.

Open daily but they close at 4pm.

    Fantastic residency and service from a great product by the Hilton Group. This location is seated at the center of town. It's right next to the ABQ convention center. I was greeted by the folks at the registration desk and given my room and offered warm cookies. My room overlooked the Plaza and convention center. It was clean and had plenty of rooms. The bathrooms are small, but clean and well stocked. If you need additional towels , soap, or toiletries. The folks downstairs would get your needed items to you immediately. The hotel provides free Internet and coffee $5 coupons to Hilton Honors members. It has an in-house restaurant that does breakfast and dinner at an additional cost called the Iconic. And there is a Cafe 505 that serves coffee and breakfast items until 1100 am. The gym and pool are well maintained. There are two treadmills, two ellipticals, two seated bikes, a set of barbells, and a cable machine. I'd certainly stay here again the next time I stay in ABQ.

    The dirty corners

    I have not been disappointed in a Hilton in years, but when I say the first room wasn't cleaned at all and the second room they sent me said it was cleaned. This is the craziest thing ever. These people are disgusting. I'm only a Hilton Goldmember but damn

    Stayed at this hotel as we were passing through Albuquerque on the way to Colorado. The staff at the desk was kind and helpful. Being right next to the convention center I didn't think anything of the location being packed, especially on a Wednesday but apparently there was only 1 king size room available "due to events going on in the area". Looking afterwards at priceline, hotels.com and a few others there were clearly rooms available there. The room was nice but the bathroom was small. It was hard to move around in the bathroom to dry off or even use the restroom. The shower was horrible. Only in the way of water pressure. It almost seemed as though there was a pressure plate in the shower that if you weren't standing in the right spot the water pressure was barely existent. Great views from the room but not to justify a $300 a night stay. Next time I'll look into other hotels. The bar in the hotel was mediocre. The bar staff was hardly at the bar (it took us a half hour sitting there with no drinks just to ask for the check) and the drinks were amateur at best

    This hotel is not up to the standard of other Hiltons that I have stayed at. Parking is $17 for an open lot that does not have any security or preventative measures. The front desk gave me the okay for a 2pm check out when I first arrived, the next morning before we left for our activities I went to confirm our check out time and it was never annotated. Bed in the room was a full size bed when I selected a queen bed on the Hilton app. Bunch of sketchy people at the property. I was having a drink in the lobby at 8pm and two individuals kept circling the inside of the property and one guy stole the bartenders food. Cookie was hard as a rock and the front desk was cold and not welcoming. Ready for the best part............went to grab a hand towel and A METH PIPE COMES OUT OF THE TOWEL THAT I GRABBED. do not come here.

    Affordable and Comfortable Stay Near Old Town Albuquerque - With a Few Caveats…read more We stayed at Sandia Peak Inn - Old Town ABQ (a Howard Johnson by Wyndham), and I'll start by saying this: the price was definitely right. While it's not a luxury hotel, we more than got our money's worth, and I'll give an honest, balanced review. One of the main reasons we chose this property was the availability of EV charging. They offer both a J1772 and a Tesla destination charger, with a $10 nightly fee to use them. That was a great convenience and worked without issue. We booked the accessible oversized king room, which was very spacious, nicely decorated, and included a comfortable bed. We thought it had a sofa but found a day bed instead. The room also featured a small work table and a nice easy chair--well equipped for a short stay. The parking lot is tight, with narrow spaces and limited room, but our reserved EV charging spot helped avoid problems. Breakfast was modest but acceptable. There was a waffle maker, juice machine, coffee, peanut butter (the only visible protein), various breads, jams, and some overripe bananas. Vegetarian-friendly, but not very filling. One downside we experienced was related to smoking. Although our room was non-smoking, the moment I stepped outside in the morning, someone was smoking nearby. While I don't know how frequent this is, it would be preferable if the property were entirely smoke-free, especially near room entrances. The neighborhood felt like classic Old Town Albuquerque. I didn't feel unsafe, but I wouldn't recommend walking the area late at night. The exterior of the property has been nicely styled with Southwestern décor, which adds charm despite the budget-conscious operations. In short: everything wasn't perfect, but it all worked--and for the price, we walked away satisfied.

Two days before the day of my reservation I received an email saying my reservation was canceled. Good thing I checked my email.

They canceled my reservation so they could up charge someone else my room. Since this was two days before all other hotels were booked out and I had to reserve a hotel in Santa Fe instead.

I'm moving cross country - WA to FL. I've driven cross country several times moving east to west and west to east plus I'm an army brat so I have lots of experience moving, long drives, and hotels. With that in mind take this review as you will.... I was looking for a hotel that accepted a cat, had a spot to park a moving van and towed car, and had a hand held shower. I called 5 hotels this is where I ended up & below are the results. 1. It is not a place for travelers who are moving and towing vehicles - it's in a residential area. If you are experienced driving large vehicles you will be fine otherwise you might want to stay somewhere else where it's easier to get a parking spot. If you are driving a pickup or car there's plenty of parking. 2. I requested a room with a hand held shower as always this seems to stump hotels when I call so it took them awhile to discover they had a ADA room with tub and hand held shower head. Take a look at the shower pics do you see what's missing and what the issues are? 2a. The hand held shower head is hung so high you can't use it when seated on the shower bench! Which defeats one of my 3 reasons for picking this hotel. ‍ 2b. There's no tub. So their guide sheet the clerk referred to when I called is wrong. 2c. The shower curtains (there's 2) don't reach the floor so the entire floor of the bathroom will get wet. Especially as the shower floor and bathroom floor are not graded to allow for the water to drain to the shower or the drain in the middle of the bathroom floor. 3. The drapes were open and the ac was off so the room was hot. The gauge says 76. I lowered it to 66, it's been 90 minutes and the room is still warm. So if you are as me and sensitive to hot weather be warned. It doesn't make alot of sense to have the shades open in a hot climate especially when the view is a parking lot. 4. The tv remote is missing. As I am a paranoid sort I called the front desk immediately not wishing to be charged for it. They offered to bring another which was nice but I can live without tv for one night. 5. The room and bathroom is large/spacious if you have kids or have accommodating devices like walkers you will have plenty of space. 6. The room appears to be very clean but I didn't take a black light to it; some things are better to be left. 7. Breakfast was interesting. 8. There is only one luggage cart and it rather large which is an issue as it doesn't fit well in the second elevator. When I pointed it out to the desk clerk he said oh use the other elevator. Umm sir when you press the elevator call button you get the elevator you get you don't get to pick as both don't appear. He seemed stumped by that. Recommendations - hotel to purchase several airport luggage carts they are more easily stored and maneuvered.

When we walked onto the patio and took in those sweeping views of the Sandias, I was ready to love this place. Los Poblanos has all the ingredients of a truly special dining experience: a gorgeous setting, a thoughtful farm-to-table ethos, and a menu that promises something above the ordinary. Which is exactly why the evening's annoying missteps were so disappointing. Service was well intentioned but unpolished. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and, at times, unfamiliar with the menu -- a problem when guests are asking genuine questions about the food and wine. We ordered bread which came before our drinks were served. Wine service was inconsistent. I ordered an Albariño by the glass - 6 oz. My sister ordered the Cabernet listed on the menu as a recommended pairing for her entrée, priced at $11. After we placed our drink orders, the waiter returned to inform her that the menu price was incorrect -- the wine was actually $18. She agreed to proceed. He then asked whether she wanted "a half glass or a full glass," which is an oddly imprecise question at a restaurant whose menu specifies pours in 3, 6, and 9 oz increments. She said half glass. What arrived was 3 oz of wine in a small serving carafe, which the waiter simply poured into her glass -- no bottle presented, no taste offered. My own Albariño, by contrast, was brought to the table in the bottle with a proper taste before pouring. The disparity in service between the two of us was striking. A simple, clear statement -- "3 oz of this wine is $18, not $11; would you still like it?" -- would have resolved everything cleanly. Instead, the vague "half or full glass" framing left my sister without the information she needed to make an informed choice. For what it's worth, the wine itself was extraordinarily tannic -- borderline undrinkable -- and I would have sent it back. My nephew ordered a top shelf whiskey. The waiter told him "we don't have that". My nephew said "it's on your menu" to which the waiter responded "oh, let me check on that". There seemed to be too many instances of the waiter running back to the bar to check on stuff. Anyway, it was available. The waiter apologized. We ordered the bread which was served before our drinks arrived. Food took about an hour which is fine - I don't have an issue with that but during that time we never saw the waiter again. I ordered the soup of the day - potato and leek which was delicious. Followed by the blackberry salad, which was my main course. Both arrived simultaneously, with the salad placed in front of me and the soup set to the side as an afterthought. At a restaurant at this price point, the expectation that soup precedes salad is not an eccentricity -- it is simply correct service. When I expressed my surprise, the servers seemed genuinely puzzled, which suggests this may be a training gap rather than an isolated incident. As for the salad itself -- it was pleasant, but pleasant is not enough here. The blackberry salad was the kind of thing you might enjoy at a well-run casual chain: competently assembled, inoffensive, and forgettable. At a farm-to-table restaurant with access to exceptional local ingredients, I expect the plate to reflect that -- more intentional presentation, more layered flavors, something that is more elevated than what was presented. This one didn't. The gap between the setting and what landed on the table was wider than it should have been. My sister and nephews ordered the filet mignon and rib eye. Both arrived pre-sliced -- a presentation trend that has made its way into fine dining, though one that divides opinion. My concern, beyond personal preference, is practical: sliced meat loses heat faster, and at roughly $80 per entrée, guests should receive their steak in the condition that best showcases it. The quality was good, not exceptional. Los Poblanos is a restaurant with genuine promise and a setting that few can match. The concept is right; the execution needs work. The issues I encountered -- inconsistent wine service, course sequencing, and a discombobulated waiter-- are not kitchen problems. They are fixable. I hope the restaurant takes that seriously, because the bones here are excellent and the experience should be too.

Large bed, mini fridge, dresser... all of the basic amenities you would need. They also have some snacks and items in the fridge for purchase. It does make it confusing when you bring in your own stuff, but I managed :) Staff here is great, accomodating and very friendly. What sells me on this place is the location. Situated on a golf course, the views are great and if are up early enough you can see the hot air balloons. The hotel is set back from the main street so for the most part, it's a very quiet area. (I say most part because you do get the occasional tee time announcement over the loud speaker but it wasn't bad). You are also close to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Getting into the city is also easy, maybe 20-30 minutes away. So... the real question. Would I stay here again? If I am traveling solo or with my wife, yes. As a family, probably not. I am not sure what other room styles they have but with no microwave and only a mini fridge, I need something larger for the family.

Our room was large and included the classic hotel amenities, including waters. We were staying slightly during the off season, so two pools were open, which was fine as it wasn't that busy and it didn't get hot until about noon. Due to the location of the resort, it is easiest to eat at the property and there are a couple of options available: The Corn Maiden - nicer dining experience, Santa Ana Cafe - casual sit-down, Rio Grande Lounge - bar and bites, and Plaza - pool cafe. During our visit the Plaza pool restaurant was only open on Saturday. We tried in-room dining for breakfast one morning, as we were up early, the eggs had little to no flavor, and a couple of our items were forgotten/late. Not a huge deal as we understood they were training a lot of staff during the time of our stay. Overall, the food throughout all the dining options was just okay, and if there were more dining options close by, I would probably go there. The restaurants all tasted the same and there didn't seem to be much variety. It would be nice if at least one of the dining options was a different kind of cuisine to bring some variety. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, the staff was so friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to do at the resort and we loved that they had nightly s'mores.

The property itself is beautiful and expansive, sits on Tamayame land, and at the outset of the conference a member of the Native American tribe welcomed us and shared about the land and setting. The property has with multiple event spaces, an on-site trail, a large gym, and several pools. It is a fairly large resort (our room was at one end, so it was about a 7-10 minute walk to the main lobby area). Each day began with a large breakfast buffet, and lunch was similarly well done. One of the highlights was being able to sit outside during meals at large tables overlooking the grounds, mountains, trees, and fresh air made for a really peaceful setting. For breakfast, I enjoyed the red/green chilies chilaquiles (New Mexican style breakfast), it was very flavorful and I enjoyed trying but was very spicy/heavy. From a conference and events perspective, the resort is very impressive. There is a large main conference room with a stage, and the room can accommodate over 100 people (at round tables), along with many smaller breakout rooms. Over two evenings, we attended events at different venues on the property, one about a 10-minute walk away (with hotel mini-bus transportation available), and another closer to the main area under a tent. The more distant venue was quite large and set apart, likely used for weddings and larger celebrations. That evening included a buffet dinner, DJ, dancing, and multiple bar setups. The second evening closer to the main hotel was a seated dinner under a tent, with music and performances in a more contained setting. There is also a nice bar and restaurant in the lobby, as well as another more casual restaurant by the pool. Given time constraints, I was not able to fully take advantage of all the amenities (including the spa, horseback riding, and longer trail walks), but I would absolutely recommend this property. It is incredibly scenic, serene, and feels immersed in nature, and I would gladly return.

And...wow..the interior of this hotel was magnificent! I loved the very interesting feel of it. Food for the eyes for sure! The bartender at a lobby greeted me immediately and he was very friendly and helpful with some food and drinks information there. I had a good chat while enjoying my evening snacks for sure! I had a guac + salsa...and I didn't expect it to be anything different..but..wow..the way they dressed the food..it felt worth more than $12 price tag for sure! Sorry, I forgot my phone in my car but...possibly the fanciest dressing of guac and salsa order I had in the longest time! The only minus was you have to find street parking or go valet (but..if you aren't there to stay..its probably not worth paying for the valet). Street parking is also likely harder to find downtown on weekdays. I got super lucky with one last parking spot that opened up across the street on a weekend day evening..so I snagged it and headed into the hotel. I thought this was a good way to check out the hotel for sure! I think if I needed to use up my quarterly credits from my credit card, this was a wonderful way to spend it for sure!

On a busy convention night, the dining room was packed, yet the energy felt festive rather than frantic. Thanks to a well-timed reservation, my party settled in comfortably despite the initial blast of aggressive air-conditioning--a smart move after last week's heat, though the growing crowd of happy diners soon brought the room to a more pleasant temperature. Service was excellent from the start. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, a supervisor, and our server, setting a tone of genuine care that never wavered. The pacing was near-perfect: attentive without hovering, with drinks refreshed proactively and plates cleared at just the right moments. To begin, I ordered the green chile beef stew. It arrived promptly, hot and deeply flavorful, with tender beef and that signature New Mexican green chile heat that lingers just enough to wake up the palate. For my birthday libation, the S'mores Old Fashioned was a delightful twist--smoky, sweet, and dangerously smooth. The entrées showed Char's Southwestern strengths. The enchiladas were deeply comforting, while the carne asada arrived perfectly grilled with robust flavor. Both were elevated by the bright, creamy Mexican Street Corn on the side--charred kernels, cotija, and a hint of lime that cut through the richness beautifully. We closed the evening with the new arroz con leche from the updated dessert menu. Warm, cinnamon-kissed rice pudding topped with a generous scoop of cinnamon ice cream proved to be the ideal sweet finale--comforting yet refined, with contrasting temperatures that made every bite exciting. From the thoughtful service to the consistent execution of both classics and new offerings, Char once again proved why it's a go-to spot for special occasions. If you're in Albuquerque and want elevated NM dining, Char meets the need.

I really like that parking is included and not an extra charge like some hotels. We were located near a Target and lots of restaurants as well. Our room was located on the 12th floor and it was busy as the last ever Gathering of Nations was taking place at the fairgrounds. The employees whom helped us were very nice and efficient and checked up on us with a phone call once we got settled in our room. As for the room itself, it was perfect for what we needed. We had a great view of the city. The only cons we had was the HVAC system was not working properly. The room was very stuffy and no matter what temp we lowered it to (went all the way down to 60) the A/C did not kick in). The fan was working but not blowing any cold air (the hallway's A/C was working). I reported it to the front desk upon check out. The other item was the shower's knobs were located on the opposite side of the shower head and I had never seen that before. It was very awkward as the glass sliding door does not open on the side with the shower head. I felt that it was unsafe as you turn on the water but cannot feel the temp of the water cause it is on the other side. Overall, stay was good and it was pretty quiet other than hearing a couple of guests out in the hallway. I would stay here again if in the area.

They gave us free WiFi and two water bottles but no microwave oven in the room and no mini refrigerator. What sets this place apart from every other hotel is that they have quiet rooms with concrete floors and thick walls. You don't hear much of anything. The AC controls are very functional and WiFi connection is flawless. The staffs treated us nicely since we are Bonvoy Gold Member. Pretty decent hotel IMO!

We brought our 2 little puppies with us and even they were comfortable here. Although it was close to the highway, we didn't hear the noise. Breakfast is your usual hotel offering. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The elevators worked well while we were there. There are restaurants nearby including PF Chang's, which is just a skip and a hop away. If there is one thing that is a negative about this hotel, there is no grassy area around for the pets. It's all rocks. Other than that, we would not mind staying here again if we are ever in the area.

Definitely in need of an update for the price we paid but that wasn't the issue. The air conditioning did not work in our room. We alerted the night clerk after going in our room and she told us there were no other rooms available and that maintenance would look at it the next morning. That's it. We asked if there was a fan we could borrow. Nope. We had to go out and buy our own fan to help circulate the air in our room. The next morning we had a knock on our door at 8am. It was maintenance wanting to fix the AC my sister was in the shower so I told him he would have to wait about 30 minutes and we'd be done. We left for our event and returned around 3:30pm. AC was still not working. We contacted the front desk and asked for management, no manager on site but the front desk would send them a message. Crickets. About an hour later I contacted Hilton corporate and surprisingly we had a manager at our door about 15 minutes later. She affirmed that the AC was not working and that she'd been told it was fixed. She called maintenance while in our room and he walked her thru a few things. The unit did finally cycle on and blew cold air for about 3-4 hours. When we returned from dinner it wasn't working again. We called the front desk and requested another room because we had been told earlier that would be an option the second night. But nope. No other rooms so we had to sleep in the heat again. We were told the next morning when checking out that we would be refunded for those 2 nights but we would have to go through Corporate get it. So we paid for our rooms. Once home, I contacted corporate for our refund and I received an email from the general manager of the hotel in Albuquerque telling me he did not believe us and that no refund would be given. I contacted Hilton corporate again and all they did was reimburse me for ONE night and give me 10k points. Really??? Don't stay at this hotel! Terrible customer service and not worth the price anyway. Furthermore Hilton corporate should have stood behind their customer!
