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.

Corporate greed: Booked the hotel during graduation weekend…read more The rate wasn't inflated at the time. Received confirmation of the booking. Two days before the day of my reservation I received an email saying my reservation was canceled. Good thing I checked my email. I promptly called the hotel and the person that answered didn't apologize, nor did they ask for my confirmation information to rebook me. 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 will be posting this experience on every review site.

The downstairs living areas along with a nice back yard patio were great spaces to relax and unwind. Our hosts Margie and Gene were incredible! Can't give them enough praise! They know everything about the city and surrounding areas, food, beverages, hiking, sightseeing and local events. We stayed in the Twilight Slumber room and loved it! Very quiet, clean, and comfortable room. We enjoyed the amazing breakfast's before starting our daily adventures. Location is great, just across the street from UNM and Nob Hill. You can walk to breweries and Great Food! Outstanding B&B, we highly recommend the Sleepy Lobo Inn for anybody visiting Albuquerque! We will definitely be back!

Madrid Casita is a private lodging for daily/weekly rental in the historic mining town of Madrid,…read moreNew Mexico--just 20 minutes from Santa Fe on the historic Turquoise Trail. The casita is located behind the owner's artist studio and home. It is a very small home equipped with a queen-size bed, a full-sized futon, roomy closet, full kitchenette including: coffeemaker, toaster oven, stove, utensils, refrigerator/freezer, blender, complementary coffee and tea, air conditioning, a space heater, a private outdoor deck with an amazing mountain view, and private parking. The fridge is stocked with bottles of water, a couple of sodas and two beers and if consumed you pay a reasonable price unlike what hotels try to charge you for that stuff. A bottle of water was a dollar and it was $3 for a beer. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Casita for 2 nights. It was super romantic and peaceful. We spent the evenings stargazing on a little deck next to the roof and one night we heard the coyotes singing. The bed was comfortable. The casita was quiet. It is really nice to stay somewhere that you don't have the housekeeper knocking at your door at 8 in the morning and you don't have to listen to the people in the next room doing who knows what. It was also very affordable, $95.00 a night including tax. Now for what I would call the weak points. 1. The water pressure isn't so great but you are out in the desert so what do you expect. 2. The driveway is unpaved and a bit sketchy unless navigated with care, mostly while exiting the casita. 3. This is my least favorite thing about the casita. You can't flush your toilet paper and have to put it in a trashcan next to the toilet. I kept forgetting and having to fish it out and the sink was not in the bathroom so that part was a bit gross and kind of a pain. Despite the three weak points mentioned above. The casita was way better than staying at any lame motel in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. The town of Madrid is amazing and a walk to town is only 1/2 mile. You are also close to hiking, horseback riding, and/or a massage.You can also visit owner Mike Wright's artist studio and sculpture garden. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

Judy the owner is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, especially the perfectly fluffy muffins and fresh juice. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The location was convenient and had everything we needed. Do call ahead for reservations! This place has a loyal following and fills up with local events and bird watching season. Use the directions on their website to find it ( http://www.doscasitasensocorro.com ) --google maps and apple maps will take you to the wrong place.

Dos Casitas is charming and comfortable, with a great bed (always a priority for me) and lots of sweet extras, like little jars of owner Judy Kurtz's homemade apricot jam for us to take home. She brought us a coffee and light breakfast tray in the evening so we could have something in our stomachs when we left for the bosque at 6:15 a.m., and then made us a real breakfast when we returned a few hours later. Breakfast with other guests and Judy's expertise on the area were a lively addition. It's so wonderful to have these human encounters when traveling, as opposed to the sterility of a hotel! Thanks, Judy, we'll be back!
