Solo Female Traveler Approved!

What a gem Hotel Zazz is! This was my first time in Albuquerque, and I’m so glad that I found Zazz. It is clear that this is a labor of love, and you know from the moment you pull into the parking lot that you’re going to stay someplace special and completely unique. From the exterior decor to the stunning lobby to the special touch in the lobby that gains you access to a fabulous speakeasy with the friendliest staff! I’m a solo female traveler and am always a bit anxious as to how I will be received as a visitor, but the staff at the hotel and the bar couldn’t have been more welcoming! I cannot wait to head back to Albuquerque to book another stay at Hotel Zazz!

Get away weekend fun

Hotel Zazz has a fun, boutique like atmosphere with friendly staff, bright interior and exterior animal collages painted on the surfaces and a popsicle hour in the afternoon. It’s pretty quiet at night (visited in late April). There’s a great restaurant right across the street, the Farmacy, for breakfast & lunch.

Average nothing amazing about it

The stay was ok. Our room was never cleaned even though we ask. No one went to make beds or take trash. The toiletries are too small and not enough for more than one person The room was very small and the bathroom too. Besides all that the staff is great and the room was clean when we got there Also paying for parking is a scam bec you’re paying and there is enough parking for the guest. The people who should pay are the people at the bar or who are not staying there. Nice hotel but wouldn’t go back to stay there.

We had a great stay here! The speakeasy was fun, and everyone was so nice. It is off a major road, and the college is nearby, so expect some road noise, but that didn't bother us. We loved that we had plenty of great food options nearby.

Lovely creative boutique hotel.

We love this place! We love the people who own it and who work for them, we love the decor and the imagination, rhe sweet touches and whimsical aspects that went into making this hotel so delightful. We went to the speakeasy on the premises and had delicious cocktails and lovely conversation with the bartender who made them. They have live music some nights and the poop looks so inviting. The ONLY issue is that, if your room has windows facing the main street, use earplugs or have a small noise machine with you. You hear everything there. I hope they can afford to upgrade their windows soon. But in the meanwhile I’ll ask for rooms on the far side of the parking lot.
