I have stayed here quite a few times, and it was nice enough. They have updated a little, but it's still run down. I don't think they will ever fix the pool, which isn't pleasant in the summer.
The staff, (except one), which I will not name, because the owner apparently doesn't care what guests think of her. And it's not Vicki- she is fabulous- but I digress. I gave this rating because there are still rooms that don't get wi fi and they raised the price and it's the same price whether you have awi fi and/or fridge and microwave-and they have changed the channel line up- so I will be looking for another fly by night hotel when I am in the area.

Met my girlfriends exacting standard for cleanliness. AC is noisy but not louder than expected at this price range. Can't hear freeway-some rooms are closer than others. Has fridge and microwave . Overall a good place to stay cheap.

An excellent hotel at the First Street interchange with I-580. It is just far enough away to be quiet. The price is right ($39.95 for a single room recently if you say you are a business travler, otherwise $41.95). If you ask, you can get a room with microwave and refrigerator, and a supermarket is 1/2 mile away (south on First Street). It is about 3 1/2 miles from LLNL and Sandia (hint: First Street to Mines Road to Charlotte Way; then if you are walking take the pretty pedestrian/bicycle path along an arroyo to Vasco Road). The Springtown public library is very close (966 Bluebell Ave.), and a fine European restaurant is immediately adjacent.
