So this review is coming from the POV of someone moving and traveling with a cat. I'm driving a…read morePenske moving truck, towing a vehicle, and my cat is with me. 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.

I was in town from Denver visiting for my nephew's graduation. We had reservations for a Friday…read moreevening. 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.

As soon as I booked on Expedia they reached out, had me fill out the appropriate forms for liabilities, and made sure I was ready upon arrival. The staff I spoke to was very kind, patient, and helpful. He seemed to speak the language of the exhausted traveler, and was helpful with recommending local bites nearby. Our room was adorable and had a vintage feel to it. There was a minifridge set up with some refreshments (but enough room for our own things to still fit). The tub was a little confusing between ice cold and hot, but drawing a bath was a breeze. I love that they had dark towels for make-up removal vs just white washcloths. *I personally travel with my own, but I know it sucks to ruin a good towel with makeup. The bed was a decent balance between firm and soft. The room was silent besides the room AC. We didn't have to worry about our car, parking, or anything really which was an extra comfort. There are signs about golf balls potentially hitting the cars - they won't. I wish we had more time to wander around and really enjoy the property but now I know where to head to when we return. =)

We had several friends do the same, so it was nice to hang out in seating area on the lawn and catch up. The room is pretty basic but comfortable. 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.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa for three days for a conference. The resort is in Santa…read moreAna Pueblo, which is about 25 minutes outside Albuquerque and another 50 minutes from Santa Fe (though with the conference schedule, I was unable to make it to Santa Fe). 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.

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!

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.

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!

It felt a lot like a scene from Clue. Fun! Inside looks exactly how you'd hope it to look based on the outside. It's filled with authentic built in furniture in solid sturdy wood. Ours was the Garden Room which was more of a suite than a room. In addition to the queen bed, there is also a separate room (like a living room) with a pull out couch. The living room has a door that leads out to a balcony that looks over the entire property. From there you can see a huge courtyard with a fireplace and luxurious lounge chairs, hammocks and benches. There is a pond, or more of a brook that runs through the back courtyard. I never determined if there were fish. The entire setting is a place for anyone but particularly those who want to take a few days to catch their breath. I sure did. In the morning the DH B&B served homemade quiche, multigrain pancakes, piping hot coffee and juice. If you are going to be in Albuquerque and are doing some comparisons, this one is more than just clean; it's delightful. I am a local. Even so, I'll be treating myself to this again..and again.
