The proposed renovation is much needed. The door to my room was heavy and hard to open. The carpet was in pretty bad shape. Just felt gross. The staff was friendly and attentive the only reason they still got.a 3star review.

Comfort Suites Albuquerque/North Journal Center was CLOSED! I arrived around 5:30pm on Monday, November 24 for my stay and the doors were locked with only a note on the door about arriving after 10pm and who to call. I called and they informed me that they had a fire 2 weeks prior and are rebooking all stays across the street at the Hilton Homewood. So I went there, that hotel was fine. But why was I allowed to book a hotel that wasn't actively open and with no communication before arriving about the fire and closure. Bizarre! across rhe street

We stayed in a newly renovated room- the tiling around bathtub was poorly done. We loved the decoration and furniture in the room Breakfast was one of the best we have had. Lots of choice. Staff person over seeing the breakfast couldn’t do enough to help us. She was very welcoming.

Our floor was recently remodeled, but I am not sure whether they were aware of a possible roof leak in room 304, at the east wall, right corner of the room. It looks like it has made the wallpaper run, and when you see things like that, you do worry about potential mold. I would stay again; the price was reasonable. I have a feeling we only got this price because of renovations, but I hope they try to stay somewhat close to that price. Waffles make or something blew the fusses in the food area, and they would prefer frozen chopped potatoes instead of saggy hash brown patties. The staff were very friendly

Room is fine! Nothing fancy does job. Staff at check in great. Breakfast was where the failed. Only one lady. All food out and we were not there right at closing. All tables full of people waiting on food. She was changing the tv channel. One lady to cook for whole hotel not smart.

It was a good stay great staff it has a bit of a smell but it may be due to being an older building. The only issue I have is I received a call day of to be told we were overbooked so our 2 bed stay became 1.

Breakfast was good, but, wasn't stocked in a very timely manner. Staff seemed more preoccupied with their phones and balloons. Room seemed very overpriced in comparison with amenities and condition of room. It was probably priced this way in concert with the Balloon Festival that was going on.
