We really enjoyed our sty. The hotel was in a great location. The color scheme and artistic nature of the hotel was beautiful. It is clean and well maintained. The speakeasy bar was a fun attraction. My only complaint was our room wasn’t cleaned on our first day so we were lacking towels and coffee.

The place is right across the street (old Route 66!) from an ART station. That bus system is currently (2025) free to all and a great way to get to most of Albuquerque.

This was the worst experience ever and that's that we spent 99 percent of our time at the hospital with my daughter while she was giving birth to a beautiful baby girl. They not only overcharged us extremely but accused us for damages that were already there. Management refuses to reach out to me. $500 was charged to my daughters card with out permission.

So many reasons to give this place 5 stars since it’s really one of a kind. Service checking in was amazing. Property could use some upkeep and popsicles were all squashed at popsicle hour. Room and extras were so cute! Had to request a car be moved to be able to park. Was sad that Dave didn’t help me look for a lost necklace- I had to come back and find it myself. Loved the golden banana.

Great place to stay! Never been to the ABQ before and stayed here two nights at the top of my trip and ended up staying for the final night since it was so great and convenient for me. Nob Hill area of Albuquerque was a great treat to find! Plenty of shopping, drinking, and eating around. The Zazz wall was awesome too! Be sure to tap the golden banana 🍌

Decent Stay wont stay again

The hotel itself was decent, the staff was very nice and helpful. The bathroom seemed dingy and the shower did not drain properly. It was extremely loud with the upstairs tenants and outside noise.
