$149-208/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a historic boutique vibe with a buzzing rooftop scene in the heart of downtown Albuquerque.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Stunning 1939 historic architecture and 'Casbah' lobby alcoves
- Ibiza Rooftop Bar offers some of the best sunset views in the city
- LEED Gold certified sustainability (solar heated water, eco-conscious)
Snel Overzicht: A beautiful historic shell that struggles with modern maintenance and a rooftop bar that keeps the upper floors awake.
Beoordeeld door @stylemybonez: My partner and I needed a reset, and this spot in Albuquerque was perfect. The copper tub is huge, the steak was incredible, and being able to bring our dog without sacrificing luxury made it feel like a true escape. 10/10 would recommend for couples.

Reality check
The 'eco-friendly' heating/cooling system is the #1 complaint—it requires motion to stay active, which is a problem when you are asleep.
- You appreciate historic architecture and Art Deco details
- You want to be walkable to the Convention Center
- You prioritize a lively hotel bar scene over dead silence
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report missed daily service or having to beg for towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout and tiles often mentioned as needing a deep scrub; 'hair clumps' reported in drains.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure is showing. Peeling paint, broken remotes, and the infamous leaky shower doors.
- Linens & towels: Generally acceptable, though some reports of worn or 'scratchy' towels.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells great (signature scent), but hallways can smell musty or like old carpet.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool on the property. Guests are given access to a nearby facility (often the convention center or a partner gym).
How bad is the parking situation?
Valet is $21/night with in/out privileges. If you want to save money, park at the city garage at 3rd & Copper for ~$10/day, but you haul your own bags.
Is the neighborhood safe?
It's downtown Albuquerque. It's generally fine during the day and busy evenings, but exercise standard urban caution late at night. Homelessness is visible nearby.
Does the AC really turn off at night?
Yes, the eco-friendly system uses motion sensors. Some guests report waking up hot because the system thought the room was empty.
Is breakfast free?
No. It is a cooked-to-order breakfast at MÁS Tapas y Vino, typically costing $9-15.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but it will cost you $75 per stay, non-refundable. Max weight 100 lbs.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Casbahs' in the lobby are private alcoves perfect for a quiet drink if the rooftop is too loud.
- ✨
Request a 'turndown service' specifically to check if they can override the HVAC motion sensor (hit or miss).
- ✨
The on-site restaurant, MÁS, is actually one of the better tapas spots in the city—don't skip it.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'half-shower' glass partition is a design failure that guarantees a wet bathroom floor.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during weekend events.
💡The 'eco-friendly' toilet flushing system is loud and sometimes requires multiple flushes.
💡You might find a helium balloon useful—some travelers use one to trick the motion sensor HVAC into staying on.
💡The side entrance door has been reported broken/unlocked, which feels sketchy late at night.
