"Place looked nice. Had ants in the bathroom. Sink was still dirty with a nat and hairs with what looked like sand. Smelled like fetta. There were kids in the hot tub until it closed. You have to hike a hill if the upper parking lot and handicapped spaces are full, with a lot of cars with no placard or plates. No conceirge to help. No carts to assist. So keep circling. Fitness room was good. "
"I was disappointed to see the lack of true New Mexico hospitality in what is supposed to be a heritage hotel. My husband was confused when he was charged an extra fee on check in. He asked what it was for. The desk clerk told him he was paying that fee because he had elected to stay at that hotel. Needless to say, that answer did not satisfy, nor did it show basic respect for a sincere question. A fee should not ever be charged without a polite, concrete explanation for what it is for. It definitely wasn't for breakfast or complementary coffee stations. I'd say to the owner, because we were so disappointed, I actually looked him up, you are getting very rich on these hotels that used to be so charming and authentic. But your hotel seems like every other of the growing number of places that advertise well and ultimately have no actual respect for everyday travellers. We thought this one would be different. Unfortunately, it is not. Next time, AirBnB for us in ABQ. "
"Breakfast at Iguana Cafe was delicious, Dinner at Red Sage was fabulous! Kids enjoyed the arcade and visiting the candy store. Our only “complaint” was just that the lighting in the room was sparse but having all the excess room in the superior suite was well worth it! "
