“Comfortable and convient location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

Recently my boyfriend and I stayed at the Best Western Plus Rio Grande in Albuquerque. We really liked the location of the motel as it was close to Old Town, the biopark, the zoo as well as various businesses and restaurants on Central Avenue. We had a room on the north side of the motel which was next to the freeway. We could hear the noise of the trucks from this room.
I would recommend staying in a room on the south side of this motel. This motel has plenty of rooms, probably over 100. The room was clean and the wi-fi worked great. There is a restaurant in the motel, but we didn't use it. We would probably stay here again, but in a room on the south side.

Room Tip: Get a room on the south side as it will probably eliminate the sound from the freeway.

“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

We arrived late here and parking was tight. Easy to find, literally yards from the interstate. The room was nice and clean, bathroom was small but big enough. The girl at the desk directed my wife to an excellent pizza delivery (Pizza 9). We would stay here again.

“Friendly hotel in great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

I stayed in this Best Western hotel on a trip across America. The hotel was nicely decorated in South Western style. Staff at reception could not have been more helpful.My bedroom was nicely appointed and very comfortable.
Breakfast, which was part of the package, was served in the restaurant . There was a good selection of food. The waiting staff could have been a little quicker.
The hotel is within 10-15 minutes walking distance of the Old Town and the hotel has a shuttle service which can be used to go further afield.
