We stayed at this hotel for one night in October, as a stopover before catching the Amtrak the next day. When we arrived we were slightly put off as the building looked like a block of council flats and we discovered that in order to get to our room from reception we had to go outside again along a shared... more

There were only 2 hotels available for Balloon Fiesta during the week when we made our Albuquerque reservations (almost 9 months prior to our visit). We didn't expect anything fancy but we were quite pleased when we arrived. Rooms were clean with a good mattress on the bed , a good sized desk, and a large wall mounted TV. Even... more

After being lured into it by a promising Lonely Planet Guide-remark about 'fresh cookies in the lobby", we were quite disappointed to find The Hotel Blue to be "just OK", mostly because of the uninspired receptionist, but the rooms & facilities were quite comfortable & modern. more

I was a little scared when I pulled up the hotel on Google maps street view, but after driving through downtown to get there and actually getting to the room, was very happy that we stayed at Hotel Blue.

We had a very short stay as we checked in about 7 pm on Saturday evening and checked out at 3:30 am Sunday morning so we could get checked in for our hot air balloon ride at the Balloon Fiesta that day. Although the hotel has the... more

(No mean feat, it occurs to me in retrospect, every other hotel/motel I have sad experience of in the USA... more

I asked a business colleague if he was familiar with any hotels nearby, and the Hotel Blue was highly recommended. Upon entering the hotel lobby, my... more

We chose this hotel based on some reviews, for its close location to the University of New Mexico, and for its reasonable price. The hotel is an older exposed exterior corridor building that was re-furbished. However, it takes more than new bedspreads, a flat panel TV and tempur-pedic mattresses to make a nice place to stay. Since people were walking... more
