Helpful and accomody staff

This was an excellent stay. We stayed here due to being in a little bit of a pickle due to an unexpected vehicle repair as we were passing through Albuquerque. Staff was very accommodating and helpful and we really appreciated it!

The staff went the extra mile to help me. I very much appreciated the comfortable bed, the tasty breakfast, and the kindness of the people manning the front desk.

Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty decent stay overall. Couple glitches, the key cards would go out when kept near anything with a battery or electricity. Two key-cards had to be reset multiple times in four days. Two different occasions the counter-help was nowhere to be found.
David, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Needs upgrades

The elevators were broken the nights we stayed it never got fixed. The cleanliness of the room was not great and we called but the front desk never answered. We asked for extra towels and were only given one set. The breakfast was very minimal and not much quantity.

10/10 Exceptional

Very impressed with the overall of the room, very clean, comfortable and very modern. Very good location to stay if going to the Rainbow Ryders. The proximity is incredible, only 5 mins walk.Traveled to enjoy a night before my activity in the hot air balloon. The international breakfast was very good with many choices. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

Do NOat

Our room was filled with a smell of weed. You could see the smoke still in the room. There was an odor elimination machine plugged up and running on the desk when we arrived. There was also guys hanging out with the staff at the front entrance that made my crew feel very uncomfortable.

Keep on livin

We were sent to three different rooms due to broken couch, in one room. Broken bathroom door lock in another room. The third room was okay. Front desk lady was a little rude when our key kept getting deactivated.

Hair in shower and on floor by toilet. Couldn't turn off light by TV, called front desk, they hung up on me. Called again, she refused to answer. Slept with a towel over my eyes, problem solved. Bed comfortable, area safe. Not a terrible stay.

Yujia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room smelled really bad from the second I opened the door. The air was not turned on it was muggy and had a dog smell like it really needed to be aired out. I didn't say anything. Then we started to smell a really fowl smell when we layed on the bed. Like sour spoiled milk. It was really bad. I then said something to the front desk. We ended up having to change our bedding on both beds. I must say the bed was so comfortable and I slept great. And Alex did an amazing job accommodating us and our many needs.I love that the pool and hot tub stayed open till 11pm
Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for our stay

The front desk staff was always very friendly and helpful. The overall cleanliness around the hotel was great however the room itself could have been cleaned better especially the shower. The housekeeping situation throughout our entire 4 day stay was super frustrating too!! The first day there they woke us trying to come in just a few minutes after 8am then the next day they never even came by the 3rd day they came in and only took the towels and left new towels. Then the 4th day (day of check out) even with the do not disturb on they tried coming in a few minutes after 8am again. Breakfast was good but not as great as we've come to expect from Holiday Inn again just seems to be depending on staff working that day.

Stains on bedding and towels. Breakfast was excellent. Front desk was disengaged from guests at best.
