You are paying $50ish for a room in Albuquerque. You should expect what you pay for. The clerk was SUPER kind and helpful. They are very aware of the homeless situation and wish they had answers. The parking lot was very secure and covered by cameras. We left our vehicle safely for two days. The rooms are spacious enough and the tub and toilet were clean. The motel seems older and well-used. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel or are super picky, look elsewhere. If you need a cheap place to stay with no bugs for the night and kind workers. This is your place! It is walking distance from the Tingley Coliseum (probably wouldn't recommend walking it alone for young, single women or families). Great for young guys on a budget!
Place was not clean at all, there was not enough towels for us, comode leaked at the bottom and went all over the floor, i don't recommend this place to stay.
Room was neglected. No room amenities. No help. No communication. Rooms were old looking. Non smoking room smelt like smoking room.

The room was clean the shower wall needs repair and the door latch sticks and doesn't come out until you move the handle multiple times before the door locks and last the switch for the lights by the beds does not turn the light on until multiple pushes to the switch.Otherthan those three things which were not a inconvenience the room was a good value for the rate. Thank you
It was difficult to park safely upon arrival. Many people meeting by cars after 10pm. We were told we had to add a $50 cash deposit upon arrival. The receipt we received for prepayment was 30% lower than what we paid. The room was vaguely clean until you reached the bathroom. I’ll save you the details. It is certainly a NOPE in the future
I wanted a non smoking room, though ghey wanted a cash deposit.
The room i got was a smoking room becasue i did not have cash. There were burn marks on the bed spread and on the toilet seat. Towel mat had diety foot prints on it. Shower towels were old and thin. My door had a 1/2 inch gap that let the cold air in.
The location is awful and doesn’t feel safe at all, there were junkies everywhere. Two nights in a row we heard gunshots outside. We found out from locals that the area is known as “The war zone”
The room was old and dirty. There was a soap painted over in the bathroom and no bulbs in two of the three lamps. The only reason we didn’t leave was because of being an event weekend and high prices elsewhere.
