The female owner / manager appeared very sweet at check-in I went back a few hours later and she started complaining about some of the guests I thought that this was in extremely poor taste!! The beds were okay The breakfast was small

The pool was small and could use a good acid wash Bottom line for one star is we got charged $25 on our debit card 3 days after we checked out I called them to find out what they were doing She said “we left dirty towels” I asked her if she had pictures of these “dirty towels” She said, “no” I told her there was only two adults and two children in two rooms! Yes, we all took showers but no one was that filthy that we needed to be charged $25 for towels She hung up on me I checked both rooms at 4 am when we left (for forgotten items), I saw no filthy towels I saw used towels in corners Watch this place!!

Based on the reviews and pictures, I was expecting at least a decent 2-star hotel Unfortunately, this is more in line with a 1-star rated hotel It’s a basic Inn with some interesting and unique-looking decor

The rooms are very dated and in need of a major refresh The exterior door didn’t lock, there is an infant-quality plastic mattress protector that sounds and feels like you’re sleeping on a plastic bag, the bathroom door hits the toilet, the shower faucet was messed up, the water from the sink faucet had a cloudy color to it (the public water is fine here – must be the plumbing), signs of dirt and concerning black grime in areas, and the list goes onIn addition, this location is right next to a busy street Expect lots of noises from loud cars and people that will keep you up It doesn’t help that the door and HVAC aren’t sealed up very well (you can see light)The breakfast is about as basic as it gets with the usual dry cereal, waffle machine, bad coffee, etc It smells like an old cafeteriaThere are new owners for this establishment, who were friendly, and helpful But we were only here for two nights and didn’t plan on spending the entire stay working with them to address every single thing in their room Especially considering how obvious many of these issues were The management/owners need to seriously check all of the rooms prior to checking in guestsOverall, this place needs a lot of work Until then, it should be re-classified as a 1-star hotel/inn, and the price dropped Otherwise, at the price we paid, there were considerably better options in the area

Dakota Ann

Not a bad place to stay In a good part of town The walls are a bit thin, so if you’re a light sleeper you will definitely have trouble sleeping, as it is right next to the road and people walking next to rooms can be loud

Breakfast is a little skimpy but if you like waffles, toast or Raisin Bran cereal you’re all set Room was clean and beds were comfy Overall, 7/10 stay

A beautiful stay! It was quiet and the staff was amazing! I really appreciated the kind words from the breakfast staff I would come back any timeMy only complaint is that my shower drain did not work

I could take maybe five minutes shower before the basin was on the edge of overflowingThe windows were placed a bit strangely directly in front of the toilet and the clear glass shower but I recognize it is a historic building!Again I would absolutely recommend it!

Ashton Alexander

I researched hotels in the area for over a month prior to our trip I wanted clean and safe! Went back and forth between here and a few others So glad I went with Parq Central

I am very picky when it comes to hotels and this one exceeded my expectations Everyone was friendly The rooms were cleaned each day and the hotel bar was great with a beautiful view! The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable! Also, the free breakfast was simple, but great for a quick bite! The bathroom was a nice size with a big walk in shower They will shuttle you anywhere within a 3 mile distance free of charge 10 out of 10!!

darla carmello

The restoration of this place from a hospital to a hotel is interesting The rooms were set up very nice and contemporary style The service was great but the continental breakfast served was unusual

The hotel did not have a pool onky hot tub and the rooftop lounge had a great atmosphere and awesome views The hotel location downtown was good in proximity for business but overall the area seems rundown with many homeless nearby and closed restaurants The best part was the paranormal experience, if you like a little spooky stay here!

Amazing customer service! From the front desk to housekeeping to breakfast attendant

manager Tristan you have a great team! Room was clean and comfortable Breakfast was hot and tasty Only disappointment was swimming pool wasn’t open early enough for grandson to swim and shower before checkout Overall loved our stay and definitely would visit again!

David mancha

I arrived around 7pm after a 9 hr drive, tired and exhausted I was greeted with warm smile and happy welcome to comfort suites Believe her name was Liz, she was very polite and helpful

She explained all the amenities in the hotel I asked where Dennys restaurant was and she provided me with directions The room clean and spacious had a comfortable bed, very nice room Morning staff was equally pleasant and helpful

Monica McGuire

The location is close to the airport which is great for early morning flights The gentleman at the front desk was not warm or welcoming in any way The hotel overall did not look or feel clean

Our bedding had lots of holes The washer did not work and the laundry room smelled awful!! We were excited that the pool and hot tub were open, however the pool area needs a good cleaning!

Incredible charm at a great price! These renovated 1930’s artist apartments are super cozy and quaint We stayed in the”Ivy Cottage ” We had a working fireplace that they stocked with wood and had a private patio where we ate our dinner from a wonderful restaurant they recommended

Emily checked us in and showed us to our room personally We could not have been happier with her! Breakfast next morning was yummy as well and the breakfast room overlooked the adorable grounds! Wished I had been staying more than 1 night!

Dianne Hansen

This is not your standard hotel It has so much character in the Casita It is not a new building

I’m guessing 1940s or 1950s? So the quirks of the building are expected, but the fireplace, large living room, cute setting, walk ability to old town and the aquarium made it a wonderful stay Extra friendly hotel staff and a breakfast that is delicious and more enjoyable Ice machine is in a turquoise box on the edge of funky cool gardens Each Casita seems different (I didn’t go in them) Check the bathroom features, our cottage had 15 baths and 2 bedrooms which was great, but no shower stall, instead a jetted tub and hand held nozzle which worked fine, but would have been a bit easier with a holder and shower curtain I would stay there again in a heartbeat because I enjoyed the fireplace so muchrefreshed firewood every day was a nice touch! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

L Dobkowski

While it certainly isn’t pristine, it is extremely charming It feels like stepping back in time in some ways I love the unique style and background of the hotel

It is a historic building and they have worked hard to keep it functioning with the times, but the buildings weren’t built with A/C systems in mind, so set expectations accordingly It was spacious and felt very safe The gardens are beautiful and the staff was wonderful I adore all of the unique structures and art I absolutely would go there again, it was actually my mom’s second time there Please consider this wonderful little business if you are in the area

Everyone is an absolute delight even when it comes to needing to switch rooms In valet, Robert is fantastic & extremely kind to your needs, and at the front desk Theresa & Christopher are A++++ in your service needs When it comes to the rest of the resort, the pool is small with part inside & part outside which leaves it quaint & perfect

The hotel is clean and up-to-date even with covid still protocols still in ace for staff but leaves restaurants closed The casino is actually huge with thousands of slot machines, busy tables and a great center bar staff This is a great little getaway or place to stay while in town on business Definitely 2 thumbs up customer service should always be the top item to grade

Burton Rominger

Outstanding service Helpful staff The water jets in the tub went on the fritz and wouldn’t shut off

Maintenance was very quick to respond and fix the issue, as was housekeeping to cleanup after I do recommend requesting a room further away from the elevators as guests are loud and the doors are thin Overall rooms are very well maintained, and very comfortableSeating in the Showroom for concerts is amazing The concessions are quick, restrooms have close and easy access Dining options are limited, however the few that are there have large menus So plan your dietary needs accordingly

blanca ortiz

Clean As in pristine The drawers that you don’t use when traveling, spotless

Although I’ve noticed some damages on the wall- bar hooks or probably handle bars falling off the wall, a clean hotel always tops that The walls are thick enough so you’d be sleeping peacefully Spacious rooms Staff are very welcoming Thank you to Theresa at the front desk for being so informative and helpful, I really appreciate you! I’ll be back to stay longer

Overall very pleased with this hotel The room was clean and the staff very kind Loved seeing so many other dogs

Felt very safe while hereI would love to see how the hotel changes following the upcoming renovation It would be great if there could be sheer curtains as in addition to the provided black out curtains for privacy Breakfast also could have used some fresh fruit Otherwise very pleased with our stay!

Richard Fountain

Very solid experience with our large group Smooth check-in, rooms were clean and well-prepared One room had weak A/C so the window had to be open at night to cool it down

Very good breakfast layout Pool and hot tub were excellent! Hotel pays very good attention to vehicle and personal security; private security personnel patrol periodically overnight and keycard access is required to enter the building after 8pm

Shanon Craudell

Extremely friendly and professional staff, clean and spacious rooms

highly recommend The only critique I have is the need to address the lack of signage for their entry I stayed at a horrible hotel across the street a week previously because I failed to notice that the LA Quinta was there Bright signage would be helpful for tired travelers to see when seeking a nice room to rest their head

Great hotel! Awesome location walkable to old town, so tons to do The service was top notch, some of the friendliest people Rooms were recently renovated and quite nice, they even thought to make the shower heads fit tall people! Bartenders and restaurant staff were super nice and helpful

Highly recommend!!!! Would definitely come back

Stephanie Armitage Sichler

The hotel is clean, the staff is great but do not stay while there is a wedding Bass was shaking our walls- concert level volume We were told they would move inside at 10pm, however, employee then started cleaning and moving tables & chairs until after 11pm

People outside enjoying themselves well into the night If you’re staying for the wedding wonderful otherwise ask if there is an event before booking!

Shawna Baron

We stayed two nights and had a wonderful time So much to do within walking distance- our favorite was Sawmill Market across the street This place is safe, clean, modern, and friendly

The pool is fabulous but they do share it with their sister hotel next door (Hotel Chaco) Also loved the restaurant and gift shop on site Will definitely be back

Jennifer Gann

Great hotel! We stayed in Room 456 and it was perfect for our family of 4 to spread out and have plenty of room The hotel itself is very well kept and clean The bed was the perfect firmness that did not have the spots worn in from numerous people sleeping on it

There is not continental breakfast but we knew this ahead of time and it was not an issue for us It is within walking distance of many great restaurants downtown Several reviews mention the homeless population but in out experience it is not any bigger than other big cities We would definitely stay here again

Joe Schweighofer

Great, new hotel in downtown Within walking distance to restaurants, but also has it’s own restaurant within the hotel The staff is excellent every time I stay here

Gym facilities are great and better than you find at most hotels Front desk even assisted me with getting some laundry detergent to wash a load of clothes Only knock is the parking here – while it’s free, it’s tight spaces and they fill up quickly Not many options to park Beds are on the firm to very firm side, but that’s expected these days I suppose Water pressure in the shower was great and didn’t hear much noise from outside during the night

Todd Pease

Room was not fully cleaned, used soap and towels in bathroom Very limited parking space No breakfast or anything, as Diamond member can get a $10 meal credit but you can not get breakfast or an evening drink for $10

They will not allow you to carry over the credit if you don’t spend it every nightEmbassy Suites is older but larger rooms evening social with drinks and snacks and includes made to order breakfast Better deal

When we checked in the first room had not been cleaned I went back and they got us a new room quickly They were super nice about it

The rooms were nice and the pool looked nice tooThe area around the hotel did not seem the safest I’m sure it was fine but all the signs in the parking lot said not to leave anything in your car overnight

Lesa Nuccio

Please be aware of this location for charging your credit card with $250 incidentals When I called about the extra charge on my card I was told I must not understand how the use of my credit card works because it was just a holding fee and would be taken off in the next few days Due to a family emergency my card was paid, but I didn’t review my statement

I was running expenses and found the $250 charge was left on my card I have tried several times to have the charge reversed and have been told that it would be taken care of Today I tried to talk to bookkeeping, she said she would transfer me to another phone and it kept ringing At this point my loss, but please don’t let them scam you!

Had an excellent stay here on our first trip to ABQ The neighborhood is awesome – it’s residential but walking distance to several craft breweries and doesn’t have the touristy vibe of old town (although you can walk there in like 15 min if that’s on your list) It’s really centrally located and totally safe

The rooms are very well decorated with local art and prints I felt kind of pampered here, there are a lot of really nice personal touches Jesse was a wonderful host and has done an amazing job of restoring this propertyWe stayed in the Lottie suite and loved having a kitchen and living room

David Divine

We really enjoyed our stay at the Painted Lady The suite was immaculate and plenty of room for my wife and I along with my folks Plenty of nice touches, especially if you’re interested in exploring the beer scene in Albuquerque

Jesse is super friendly and knowledgeable to steer you in the right direction for breweries and/or restaurants The courtyard is comfortable and bright My wife really enjoyed the fire pit We will definitely return

Jennie Garst

We loved, loved, loved our stay in the Lottie suite at the Painted Lady Bed & Brew! Jesse thought of every detail to make a stay at the Painted Lady perfect The suite was beautiful and cozy and beyond our expectations Jesse was such a wonderful host too

We enjoyed talking with him and learning about the area and the Painted Lady We can’t wait to go back and enjoy another stay! Thanks, Jesse!

Vicky Elieson

Great location! Charming rooms! Amazing breakfast! We walked to the shops in Old Town Albuquerque; we could have walked to three different museums, but we needed our car for other excursions afterward We had the smallest room, with two twin beds, perfect for my daughter and I The high ceilings, the new “antique” tile

the blue glass toadstool door stop and the footed tub all added to the cozy feeling in our room AND the breakfast, mmmmm, the blue corn scones and fresh fruit with homemade sorbet were my favorites, while my daughter was blown away by the fruit juice blends (blueberry-prickly pear, for instance) The hosts made check in and check out so easy with timely, friendly texts What a delightful stay we had!

Karen Marty

My husband and I had a wonderful 3-night stay in late March, 2022 The room was very comfortable and the heating/cooling system easy to operate The Bottger Mansion is in a fantastic location on the edge of Old Town, Albuquerque

There were many interesting restaurants and shops all within easy walking distance – it was so nice not to have to hunt for parking spaces! Steve and Kathy are warm and hospitable innkeepers, and their breakfasts are not to be missed!

Mike and Chris Goulet

We recently enjoyed a lovely evening in room 21 at the Bottger Mansion It was conveniently located to the airport as well as had some restaurants within walking distance The grounds were just beautiful and it was so nice to sit out on the lawn at the table provided to enjoy their freshly brewed coffee in the morning

They have our favorite pottery shop’s coffee mugs and we were able to purchase one with the Bottger Mansion logo on it We were served a delicious breakfast outside in their courtyard We would definitely consider staying there again in the future

The ambiance in the lobby is fantastic and has many beautiful features We worked with two different valet attendants during our stay and they were great We called for our car to be brought to the front of the hotel, left our room and headed downstairs, and our car was waiting for us

Super impressive turnaround, less than five minutesRoom decor included these creepy partial faces on the wall The ac did not work as well as we had hoped and it was very hot at night Our room did not have a bathtub, microwave, and the toilet paper was super thin All of the pillows were on the flat side However, the room was clean and the bed was comfy

Emily Feldkamp

This was a unique hotel in an awesome location in downtown Albuquerque The parking situation isn’t ideal, but I used the garage next door with no issue! I got a double room on the 5th floor with excellent mountain views The beds were comfortable and there were a ton of TV channels to browse

I wasn’t a huge fan of the shower – it doesn’t have a door – but other than that the bathrooms are upgraded and very modern! I loved the lobby decor & how they have kept older aspects of the hotel while modernizing aspects of it as well The office space was excellent for getting some work done as wellThere are no coffee makers in the rooms but there is coffee in the lobby every morning that was very good! The biggest downside to this hotel, which is of no fault of theirs, is the traffic noise going all night They do provide ear plugs but since it is an older building the noise really doesn’t get blocked much There is also no fitness center in the hotel, not a deal breaker for me but something to be aware of! Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to check out the restaurant when I’m back as it smelled so yummy every time I went by!

Dhanashree Chaudhari

Lovely hotel!The decor is amazingThe hotel has small cabanas on level 1 with unique decor you can use as a available to just sit and talk with family/friendsThe elevator is stylish too

The bathroom was a bit weird though There was no door to the shower area so the water splashed outside (It was not a accessible room)The ac didn’t work so it was quite hot at night The instructions for thermostat were not very helpful

Great experience during my 2 night stay Staff very friendly and they even applied a discount I didn’t know I qualified for when I checked in Had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and both meals were fantastic

Bed was just right as far as firmness goes My TV stopped working at 9pm and the maintenance guy was in my room in less than 5 minutes to fix it which I really appreciated The location is great, close to the freeway and easy to get around Would absolutely stay here again!

This hotel deserves 5/5 stars for the customer service alone! As someone traveling to NM for the first time, I felt well attended to and safe Gillian and Jasmine stood out the most They were all so attentive, suggested nearby restaurants and sight seeing, and one night even sent up a microwave to my room for my dinner

The cleaning staff also do a great job and are very considerate! This is a great stay for newcomers as it’s close to Old Town, great coffee shops, and even has a Starbucks and Burger King across the street The free breakfast was delicious and some of the best I’ve had as it’s made to order! Shuttle bus service is amazing to and from the airport and other nearby attractions The only things that weren’t the best is that the hotel itself is a bit outdated and the pool was still covered even though it’s end of April and weather was in the 70s & 80s Fridge also made a lot of noise at night

This was a great pet-friendly hotel Very clean, very helpful and knowledgeable desk staff They were super kind with our late arrival due to being stuck on I-40 due to the Sixty Six Fire

My husband and son reported the food was quite good I liked the location, which made it easy to reach historic sites, restaurants, and shopping After a long week on the road, we planned two days here for some downtime It was a lovely place to spend a couple daysI did dislike the prevalence of skunky pot smoke outside the doors closest to our rooms The smell persists well into the hallways It makes it rough for those of us who are allergic Luckily, it doesn’t travel into the rooms, even when folks are smoking directly outside the air unitsMy only room recommendation: room microwaves! We have food allergies and frequently bring things to microwave when traveling I realize this may be a difficult prospect given the age of the hotel–electrical updates are difficult to configure Even a couple lobby microwaves would be helpful

We had not planned to stay at this hotel but after staying at another Heritage Hotel it was top on our list when we found that our return flight home was canceled I booked online very early since the reservation center was not open at that hour in the morning (5 am) I had remembered seeing the hotel previewed on the heritage channel during our stay at The Inn and Spa at Loretto earlier that week

Once we obtained our rental car and had some coffee we contacted the hotel and asked if we could drop off our luggage since there were a lot of alerts about car break ins at a lot of tourist locations We were told that we could absolutely do that and to come right over The valet attendant James took care of our luggage quickly and efficiently We returned to the hotel around 2 pm to see if we would be able to check in early Sarah at the desk was very kind and welcoming while briefly listening to our plight She got us checked in early with swiftness and efficiency The room was beautiful and extremely comfortable with every convenience we would need Everyone was so kind, helpful, and welcoming even the hotel security Michelle who brushed the snow off our rental Absolutely loved this hotel and can’t wait to go back

Excellent and wonderful hotel! I really love the Indian style artworks and the details of every furniture and decoration in the hotel and the rooms Very nice pool, and the parking space is right in front of the lobby door Also, there is a food market across a street

It’s really convenient to grab the food I’d love to stay at this hotel again!

Cannot speak highly enough of our stay The service was impeccable, from the included valet, front desk and wine bar Our room was very clean and thoughtfully designed – including USB ports in sensible places for charging, beautiful robes and 4 large towels (those with long hair will appreciate having enough towels for body and head!) would absolutely stay here again!

I am a loyal IHG member and stay at their hotels whenever possible I picked this particular hotel because it was pet friendly and I am traveling with my two dogs I am writing this review to give kudos to Beth, who worked the front desk during the evening shift

Beth was efficient, friendly, warm, knowledgeable She is a fabulous representative of the brand, and quite frankly, the BEST front desk person I’ve dealt with at any IHG propertyBreakfast at the hotel was quite good The room was sufficient to my needs It was clean and well appointedNot sure why one signs a “contract” when having pets in the hotel because the contract isn’t enforced Room 123 left their yippy dog alone in the room and Beth kindly gave me ear plugs Another room had 3 large dogs when the contract states the limit is two I’m just not fond of unenforced mandates Either have contracts with your guests or don’tI would stay at this particular hotel again should I have dogs with me when I travel

The moment I stepped inside of this hotel, I felt home already though we just stayed only for a night This hotel is our last stop and we stayed in four different hotels before this location So far this is the best hotel we had during our trip

Their lobby is neat and clean, Our room is tidy and bright, they even have provided Dove toiletries They’re breakfast is phenomenal compare to the other hotels we stayed too Very organized buffet with a lot of options It’s location is also accessible and convenient, right just the exit of I40 west

Seabeegt

Had a decent stay there Area surrounding hotel is sketchy There were very suspicious individuals not too far from the hotel but they do have armed security that roam the premises

As far as the room goes, it was pretty nice Fan in the bathroom didn’t work though Breakfast was great Overall a very good stay Parking was cramped too, but that was bcuz they were having a lot repaved

Was able to check in using the app while on the road so when we came in we were greeted by a nice professional lady at the front desk this evening who was very helpful Straight to our room which was very roomy, CLEAN (and I am very particular about this part, especially these days

and I still sanitize my way), and everything in the room was just how it should be Very nice room, comfy bed, and all around great feel here! Especially after a long day of travel it’s very refreshing! If we weren’t so tired would possibly use some of the nice facilities, restaurant, or even grab a drink at the bar Looking forward to having a full night’s sleep soon! Wanted to go ahead and take a minute to review Would definitely stay again!

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience with this hotelWe came here wanting to experience a new area and hotel While it’s close to Uptown Albuquerque, the hotel itself is hidden behind construction and isn’t that great of an area

From the moment we came in, we knew this hotel wouldn’t be as good as we would likeFirstly, they don’t answer the message system within the Hilton app We sent several messages over our stay and never got a responseSecond, the air conditioning units within the rooms are obnoxiously loud and don’t stop running We had to turn ours off to be able to sleepThird, the restaurant will charge you a $4 delivery on food you order even if you order food to go at the restaurant and pick it up yourself We had to ask staff to remove this as it didn’t seem appropriate to charge this if they weren’t delivering anything To be fair, their chicken tenders are really good and freshFourth, the restrooms do not have toilet paper holders Really bizarre for a hotel as you’d expect this in the restroomFifth the showers do not have any soap holder/ledge to keep soap on Again it’s really weird as this is a really basic configuration in hotel showersSixth, the toilets are somehow connected to the sinks Whenever you flush toilets, you can hear it flushing from the sink as well A little weird and unsettlingLast, the gym is really small One cardio equipment of each basic type and a few free weights are in this small room It does connect to a decent pool thoughOverall I don’t think I’d stay here again just due to the list of things that this hotel could greatly improve upon

Stephanie Peterson-Ferrel

The beds are atrocious The bed creaked every time I moved, and it felt like whoever installed the bed didn’t realize box springs and mattresses are different things As to the pillows, I don’t know who wants to have their head flat against the bed while the pillow fluffs on either side of their head, but if you’re into that, GOOD NEWS! You’ll love these pillows!The place is clean, and the staff are fine, provided you don’t care about masking during the pandemic

I mean, you might get COVID, but you’ll get it with a smile!If you’re disabled, please note at this property, Hilton cares more about their Diamond members being able to park than handicapped people, and there are only two designated spots to the side of the hotel at that (Five spots right out front for diamonds members) However, no one enforces compliance unless specifically asked to do so May the parking odds be ever in your favorIt’s right off I-40, but I wouldn’t say it’s conveniently located since it’s kind of weird to get to once you exit the interstate Be prepared to drive in such a way as to irritate other drivers or to make u-turns a couple of timesI’ve stayed in worse places, for sure, but I dang sure didn’t pay nearly $200 to do so

Comfortable stay, kind and welcoming staff and good breakfast We got a good night’s rest, the bed was very comfortable and the hotel was pretty quiet considering it’s next to the airport The only comments that I have are that we found pet hair on the desk chair, it’s always unpleasant to see that

Also, it would be nice to have a TV that allows you to log into your streaming services, especially when you come back to your room after a long day Most other hotels have that option The last thing that we’ll say is that we put in a request to the front desk for toilet paper and to have our trash picked up (during this time in the Pandemic I understand we need to request room service/housekeeping) We put in the request in the morning, came back in the evening and we had to call again for the request Not that we expected a response in the morning right then and there but we figured within 8 hrs was reasonable Honestly, despite the few negative parts of this review, we would stay here again

Real Review Place was clean, quiet for a place near the airport I stayed in the executive suites

The doors were a bit of a pain to unlock but the maintenance was working on it The breakfast was great Tons of options and that make your own waffles The staff was friendly and I never felt uncomfortable Room was spacious The pool is a bit older looking and small but it was good I didn’t see any threatening person or people No blood stains, no damage structures No dirty carpets I’ve read tons of reviews that start to become repetitive about the same thing So it’s honest no scam Have fun be safe it’s way safer than what it was back in the 90s Take care!

Samuel Rogers

This was a great little, comfortable hotel to get a night (or a few nights’) rest The room was suitably furnished and I had a nice view of the pool and hot tub (which I later made use of; major plus!) The breakfast was decent and there was a friendly face at both reception and the breakfast room when I was there

Definitely worth the price Shuttle to the airport runs 24 hours, so you just give them a call and you will be picked up within 30 minutes (also shuttles to car rentals) Also, the neighborhood is close to Old Town, Bio Park, and major highways
