The room, location, ambience and decor were so fun. I will say, I took off a star because, it’s 2025 and with as renovated and updated as these rooms are, they don’t have coffee makers in the rooms. If they’re not going to have in room coffee makers, they should offer a complimentary coffee carafe in the lobby for guests. Myself & several other guests had the same complaint so I know it’s not just me. Also, the restaurant hours were so wonky that I never got the chance to try it.

My partner and I were driving from Virginia to Arizona and needed a comfortable, reliable place to rest in Albuquerque before our final stretch. This hotel turned out to be exactly what we needed! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly efficient and easy to work with. They were also wonderfully accommodating of our 11-year-old dog. We really appreciated that they have clear expectations for pet behavior (including that dogs can’t be left alone), but for our mellow senior pup who mostly naps in her bed, it couldn’t have been a better fit. The aesthetic of the hotel was an unexpected delight—thoughtful, cohesive, and full of charming details that show just how much care went into creating the space. After days on the road, walking into a place that felt both stylish and welcoming made all the difference. Overall, it was a smooth, restful stay and the perfect pause on our cross-country journey. We’d happily stay here again!

Rooms are great! Staff was friendly and approachable! Hotel is gorgeous! Restaurant/Bar was cool and delicious! I have 3 notes... 1. Put coffee in the rooms. And if you must not have that make sure your restaurant has good coffee not just a hot pot of sitting sour coffee. 2. Upgrade the sofa bed mattresses... it was rough. 3. Why the name ARRIVE? It doesn't match the brand or vibe at all and honestly I almost skipped booking here bc I thought it was just another generic brand which this hotel IS NOT! It deserves a better matched name to honor how NOT GENERIC it is! Love this spot overall and will be back!!

It is a fairly loud location, with lots of street noise even up on higher floors. No coffee in the room, or in the lobby... you have to buy a coffee in the hotel cafe.

There was no breakfast. The frontdesk was not helpful. We asked for change to tip the vallet. She said to go out to the valley and ask him. He had no change also so he got a very small tip. There were no garbage containers at the entrance or in the lobby. I asked the front desk to take a small nag of garbage from me. She looked disgusted. Where are the smiles and customer service.
