I stayed here in November because I was going to the Spanish Traditional Art Market that was being held in their conference center. But I loved the hotel, and the next time I go to ABQ, that's where I'm staying.
The main hotel building is ugly when seen from a distance, but the rooms are actually nice - large, bright, well-decorated, and each one with a private balcony with great views over the town and to the mountains.
The lobby - my favorite place - is lovely and there's a big fireplace. There's a daytime bar for the patios and gardens, which are lovely, and they have a very nice restaurant. Happy Hour in the bar is fun and the snacks are good.
The staff was extremely pleasant and I felt very welcome. WiFi was excellent and everything else, including toiletries and coffee, were excellent. I didn't use the pool because it had closed for the winter but we had pool towels because the Jacuzzi was open, although I never had time to visit it.
I'm taking away one star because the morning service in the restaurant was very slow the day I left, and if I had had to make a plane or do some scheduled activity, I would have abandoned my table. They need to work on that, because a lot of people actually do need to eat breakfast in under 1 1/2 hours.
Otherwise, great place and highly recommended.
