I took a chance going to this hotel with mom for a Mother's Day Week vacation and you definite get what you pay for. The hotel is old, needs paint, cleaning... it is more of a motel except with breakfast and shuttle. We took the train to Santa Fe and stayed at the Hampton Inn and their breakfast was the... More

I was a bit skeptical when I checked into this hotel, but after a short time was very pleased. Although it is sort of a "motel", the rooms are very nicely updated and clean...and a friend of mine pointed out that a motel on Route 66 seems like an authentic western experience! Free breakfast, wifi, and airport shuttle make this... More

If I come to Albuquerque again, this hotel is where I'll stay. I'd booked the hotel Blue because I was attending a conference and needed to be economical. For the price, Hotel blue provided so much more in the way of service and amenities than I'd expected: free shuttle to the convention center, Old Town, and the airport; extremely comfortable... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while I attended a conference, let me just say I was very skeptical about it because the pictures on the website don't do it justice but after the first night the rest of my colleagues moved from the EconoLodge where they had been staying to stay here as well. Strengths: Good... More

Comfortable beds, great tv, old but decectly maintained facility. Our Friday Overnight was ruined by loud, extremely foul-mouthed guests in next door room. Our floor was nearly empty - why not leave an empty room between quests? When i asked the day manager , he offered excuse that double-bed rooms are clustered and not as available. A quick look in...

I stayed at the Hotel Blue for a week as it was close to the Albuquerque Convention Centre and they had a shuttle service to the Convention Centre. The hotel room was well furnished with a good view of the park. The staff was friendly and ever ready to help. They held my luggage for me for a couple of... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in this downtown ABQ hotel, during the weekend. Cleanliness was OK, breakfast was nice and the rooms have some nice features such as big flatscreen tv and tempur matresses. Most parts of the hotel and rooms though are pretty old, i.e. bathroom and bedding. There were holes in the blanket on my bed, and... More

My wife and I stumbled upon this place only because all of the other "name brand" hotels were full due to the NCAA March Madness tournament. The hotel (which is technically a motel because the room doors open to the outside) is recently remodeled and contemporary. The temperpedic bed was comfortable, the electric fireplace was a nice touch. and the... More

I stayed at The Hotel Blue for 4 nights. At less than $80 a night, it was a great deal. The hotel shuttle picked me up at the airport, and check-in was quick. The hotel room was very nice. It was clean, with a comfortable bed, and a large TV (with HD cable package). The shuttle service was available to... More
