A great place to stay! We were on the road about 14 hours and this was an oasis in the desert! It was clean, pet-friendly, and the employees were so nice The hotel was surrounded by a variety of great restaurants and the neighborhood was nice, too I didn’t love having to go all the way downstairs for ice but I survived

I noticed the parking lot was well-lit when we parked but I woke up around 3 or 4 in the morning and it seemed the lights where we parked had gone out The room was super-clean and a good size The bed was a little firm but maybe that’s because the hotel seems pretty new It was a great start to a long vacation

Jarrod Fox

This place was great It was clean and tidy I absolutely love the kitchenettes or whatever they are called

My biggest issue was with the desk person on the date that we arrived While friendly to me, my wife had a different experience She went down at one point to get me a soda from the snack area and due to being exhausted from not sleeping well, she didn’t understand what the front desk staff person was saying When asked for clarification, she got snapped at Later on; in the early morning, my wife went back to the snack area to grab something to boost her blood sugar She grabbed a few items and waited for about 5 minutes or so before hitting the service bell No one came She continued to wait and still no one came She put the items back and came back to the room Other than that, we enjoyed our stay We wished we could have stayed longer!! Would definitely come back

As someone who spends the majority of my year on the road (upwards of 17 nights a month) I normally use Hilton properties, but this fantastic hotel has converted me to Marriott! Not only is the location ideal, and the accommodations well kept, but the staff makes all the difference! Between Dolores who obviously gives the place an expert touch and the fantastic management staff that Charlene and Cheyenne have perfected and then the maintenance / engineering guys Tom and Tim always making themselves available and then Cameron being a fantastic face for the team I am lucky to have been here for the last few months Denise greets me every morning at breakfast, and I can’t even begin to name all of the housekeeping staff that have made this rough stretch of my life away from home so much better than I expected! You would be lucky to stay here, and I know that they always stay pretty booked with guests, but the cool part is seeing the fact that this team makes all the difference for their guests! I’m glad to be one of their visitors and I’m going to make this my primary plan for all future visits to Albuquerque

We stayed here for 2 nights The staff were all very friendly and helpful We loved the free 5:30 pm Kickback Meal, and the free breakfast

We enjoyed the hot tub and pool every night Our room was super clean and the beds are very comfy We were in a room facing the interstate and we did hear a lot of road noise even with white noise playing on our phone I would bring ear plugs just in case you are on the interstate side of the hotel I would not hesitate to stay here again We loved it!

David Milner

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a stay This website will compare countless booking websites and normally will have rates a lot cheaper than others! You’re welcome :)! This resort is one of the best in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you definitely won’t be let downGreat location and the rooms were great Over and above everything though was how the staff treated everybody So consistent! Incredibly nice folks In addition, the breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had Something for absolutely anyone Keep up the great work Drury Inn!!

Lynne Shaughnessy

This is the second time we stayed at this Drury All the staff is super friendly and polite Always helpful and proactive in service

The dinner and breakfast included are very good and the 2 cocktails after a day on the road welcome 😉 The hotel is clean and well maintained The bed was a little soft for me, but I think beds and pillows are difficult to please everyone The price is very fair for the room and 2 meals We’ll be back Thank you

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

Friendly staff Nice rooms and hotel Excellent value for our money

I would stay here again and recommend it to othersThe only thing to add is that the room that “sleeps 6” really only sleeps 5 – or sleeps 4 plus 2 kids We were able to make due though

Josh S

This is hands down the worst IHG hotel I have ever stayed at With work I stay long term in many hotels which gives me a great insight overall I am not impressed with this establishment

Pros: we had a very select few of the employees that were hospitable and a joy to see Two of the front desk ladies , Ellie and Debbie, I believe ,were great Always smiled and greeted guests and even made my young son feel very welcomed The dinning room hostess Aida was also very helpful and hospitable She went out of her way almost every morning to talk with us and my sonThe breakfast was decent and they even offered some finger foods in the eveningsThe hotel had a lot to offer such as a small gym, pool room with hot tub and a very nice fenced off patio area Unfortunately the gym room had standing water in it more than once during our stay allowing electrical plugins to be submerged ( picture added ) the hot tub was out of order more times than not and the out door patio was used as a smoking pit by both guests and employees rendering it useless to anyone wanting to just enjoy outsideCons:Upon arriving our room was pretty outdated and showed not only damages but severely worn out furniture The room was FILTHY ( pictures added) the foul smell of the room was never conquered during our three month stay here Countless odor sprays, candles, fans, even left the windows open most nights when cool enough to try and air it out When we left it still stank and the smell stayed with some of our linens even after arriving back home days laterAlso upon arriving our ice maker didn’t work We called the front to notify and we were told maintenance would be there shortly, they showed up three days later Upon arriving the employee turned the entire unit off destroying $300 in groceries and leaving my $1000 worth of insulin sitting in a non refrigerated box The hotel did give us a $300 credit to our bill after a month of asking about it with several employees and finally calling IHG guest phone lineThey decided we not only needed a new fridge at this time but a new microwave and dish washer which did nothing but cause large amounts of inconvenience and more messes for me to clean up The employees WALKED all over my kitchen counters leaving boot prints and left saw dust from drilling I was left to clean this myself ( pictures added) They also left the heavy microwave hanging by one screw for over an hour while they were out of the room Leaving my 6 year old son and I in the room with the barley hanging lawsuit The dishwasher was the worst The guy who installing it was clueless and installed it incorrectly not once, not twice, but three timesThe first time he left all the packing material in it and started the washer Left that mess for me to clean up and throw out It also leaked , flooding our room every time we used it We called the first three times and gave up on their competency after thatThe housekeeping staff were useless They spent most of their time on their cell phones or in the office next to our room where they were disrespectfully loud on the daily We asked them twice if we could have a few fresh towels and we’re told they couldn’t speak English sorry, and had backs turned on usAlso the hotel staff took all the front spots leaving the paying guests to walkOur encounter with the management was not dealt with professionally and we actually received a complaining phone call from her because we called IHGThe amount of dog urine in the ONLY elevator was disgusting and smelled great on those nice hot days Speaking of hot days our ac was unable to keep up and hit 90’ in our room more than once Probably due to lack of maintenance on their machine Take a peek at the rooms air filter( picture added )The list of inconveniences we experienced while here are absolutely staggering and would be comical if I listed them allDespite being the highest rated IHG rewards member you can achieve , we are taking a break from IHG after this stay I am currently sitting in a Marriott as I type this

Emily Burke

Breakfast and room were decent, there’s a nice courtyard in the back, and the location is pretty quiet and close to lots of food and store optionsHowever, the water in my bathroom never got past lukewarm even though the kitchen sink would get hot… and the exercise room is kind of a bust The three machines are all on the same power strip and even with nobody else in the room, 5 minutes on the treadmill caused the power strip to kick off

This happened twice and both times I nearly hyperextended my knee because of the abrupt stop of the machine The free weight options were also either 5 pounds or 30+ pounds… not super helpful The pool was also constantly crammed with screaming kids, which wasn’t always the nicest background noise when trying to work in my room or be on meeting calls Also meant I never had a chance to just go sit in the hot tub Adult-only hours for the pool/hot tub would be a great management change!Overall, probably wouldn’t stay here again, personally

Jessica Wojtasek

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!

Me and my husband stayed 2 days here at this hotel, it was our 23 anniversary, I have to say it was very nice and quiet not too busy at all We swam and relaxed in the hot tub with no one else around it was so nice Beds could be a little more comfy and the water didn’t drain in the tub properly, other then that it was awesome!! Would stay here again for sure

Oh and props to Jill she was so sweet!

Linda

The girl at the front desk, Celeste, was very nice That was the biggest plus I remember, but other than that, there is not a whole lot of plus when it comes to this hotel Unless you count the black sock that was in the corner of the room when we arrived

Maybe the plus was the bobby pin on the floor (so we knew the room had not been vacuumed)? I have stayed at worse hotels, but I have also stayed at much better hotels for the same price It is not in the greatest locationunsafe intersection where Google tells you to turn left, but if you don’t want to get in an accident, it is best to drive up a little further and do a U-turn But the main reason we will no stay again iswe stayed in the beginning of July and I was looking through my bank activity and I saw a $197 charge from this hotel on August 1st (3 weeks later) I disputed the charges and then called the hotel The nice girl said that she had been fielding calls like mine for some time She explained that for the whole month of July a portion of the tax was not being taken out of each customers payment method It sure would have saved me some trouble knowing that my card was not subject to fraud like my bank thought it might be Would an email to each customer have been too much to ask for?

Fernando Anorve

Stayed here a year ago forgot to write a reviewBeds were comfortable, sheets clean, pillows nice and comfy Did not have any issues with the front desk at all very friendly when leaving with a “have a good day” , “have a good night”

Floors in the room were clean Very spacious for all of our luggageI would recommend this place

We really enjoyed our stay here The room was beautiful, updated, clean and very comfortableThe bathroom is well equipped with nice towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and blow dryer

The breakfast was nicely presented and has quality choices I always eat oatmeal and they had raisins, walnuts, honey, brown sugar and a wonderful thick slice of fresh raisin bread, yummy!!!

G L Parker

Nice place to lodge and rest

Room was clean We had a standard room reserved and enjoyed the king size bed! We had our children with us so the staff was very accommodating with extra towels and blankets and pillows The breakfast was gourmet with plenty to choose from — eggs, sausage, cinnamon rolls, cereal, etc That’s something that’s important to us when we book a hotel I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and wash some clothes in the guest laundry area! There were restaurants nearby as well Overall pleased with accomodations!

Heather Hurst

Perfect! Staff was exceptional, room was clean, actually clean They were completely full, but it never seemed full The only thing I would say was not perfect was the elevator was a bit slow at times, but by no means was it an issue

And breakfast was great! I don’t stay in the Albuquerque area much, but when I do, I will always go to Bernalillo to stay at the Holiday Inn Express!

We stayed for one night and we loved it The room was comfortable and suited our family of 5 Breakfast was great and we loved the selection

The common area is very welcoming and comfortable The staff was very friendly and helpful Our kids enjoyed the pool just said it was a little cold A hot tub would’ve been awesome We will definitely stay again if we’re in the area

Ryan Erwin

This is our first stay at the Marriott Pyramid in Albuquerque and I must admit that we’ve been impressed Our room is very nice and comfy The showers are hot and have great water pressure and the bed is great

Now for the best part of our experience here – the guy behind the desk running the show tonight – Drew We can’t thank him enough for his hospitality He went above and beyond to accommodate our family after being on the road for 15 hoursGreat service and a 2am check in are a rare and unusual combination, but Drew knocked it out of the park

Lindsay Norman

We love this hotel and stay every time we visit Albuquerque We had a room with no AC and they happily moved and upgraded us, it was a smooth process so that was appreciated The staff is professional and very kind and accommodating

It’s my understanding the hotel is severely understaffed based on their standard and the hotel was booked to capacity during our stay You can feel that but everyone takes it in stride Joe, the bartender was amazing and we hope y’all give him a raise! Thanks for a great experience

This has got to be the Joke of the Hilton Brand They do not live up to the brand and service that you expect and get from other Hilton hotels At check in my room wasn’t ready, so went to dinner and came back

Still not ready? “We only have 2 in housekeeping” was the response I was given So, I get stuck in another part of the building Pool is closed for remodeling No other options (According to other reviews I should be GLAD of that)Being a Hilton Honors Member doesn’t get you anything more, as they charge your card for the benefits, they are supposed to offer free to you I have talked to hotel management and even hotel chain customer serviceThe room was clean, and the a/c worked Shower head was so dirty with corrosion and “water conservation” you couldn’t get wetUsed the restaurant for breakfast, only 2 tables had anyone at them Waited close to 10 minutes to get waited on Then I had to eat without silverware and napkins Finally got up and went to get my own coffee that I ordered from the grab and go station at the door There they had no lids, stirrers or sugarI have stayed at many Garden Inns, and multiple Hilton brands in my corporate and personal travels over the last 20 years This is by far the worst experience I have seen ever My next stay in Albuquerque will NOT be at this place

Scott Martin

My room had technology problems Requested a fix, new remote was sent which didn’t fix the problem Notified front desk at check out, ask about a credit to offset

None was given Later, once my invoice was emailed to me, learned that I had been billed for restaurant charges that were not mine (occurred before my check-in even) I had to spend time resolving this from work, speaking with Janet who said she was a manager Not a good experience She was very condescending and needed to perform research before offering a credit Once the credit hit my account, it was short by $5So silly So many places for me to choose when I travel Why treat people this way?

Adam Figuracion

The hotel room was decent, but the rest was alright It will be better when renovations are finished The business center was under renovation and the door says to ask the front desk for help with business center needs

I needed some documents printed, but the front desk said they couldn’t help me, so I had to go to Staples The pool was very uninviting with its rotten smell

The place has friendly staff The breakfast menu was limited The cook in the kitchen was friendly and efficient

The vegetarian scramble was very good Just a note to the management to not keep the vegetarian scramble under the same lid as the sausage/bacon The meat smell permeates to the vegetarian dish Please consider putting the eggs and meat side by side and the veggie scramble separately We had an issue with the heating/ cooling vent not working in one of the bedrooms When I informed the front desk, there was no reaction A simple regret or even an apology for the inconvenience would be appreciated

Javren W

No place to put suitcases in the rooms No foldable luggage holder and no furniture that was a good spot for the suitcases that did not require us to move them around during our stay We wound up using a bedside table, the dining table, and the dining chairs

Other than this problem and a few minor cosmetic issues, the hotel was what I expect from (and why I prefer) Residence Inn: a good place to get a decent night’s sleep with a full kitchen and a living room to make your stay more comfortable while awake

Ashlee Smith

I have been a loyal Marriott Platinum member for several years and I stick by the brand, however I stayed at this particular hotel for a week in June 2022 on a work trip and this is by far the absolute worst Marriott property I have ever seen The property itself was old, run down and in desperate need of a refresh The “gym” is so small that it was hardly useable

The customer service, though is where I draw the line The assistance from the two on site “managers” Eugene and Brenda is non-existent and appalling Not exactly sure what they are “managing”Early on in my stay the refrigerator in my room broke, spoiling all of the food that I had purchased for the week I did move rooms, but I had to restock the fridge with all of the food that had spoiled The staff confirmed the refrigerator had, in fact broken The front desk requested pictures (which were sent and housekeeping confirmed this with what was in my trash, or so I was told…) and stated a manager would get back to me asapOver a month has now passed and neither Eugene or Brenda have bothered to even reply to my emails I have sent several now, and not even so much as a courtesy replyWhile still on site I asked several times to speak with one of the managers to get this issue resolved and neither employee was ever anywhere to be found to even have a conversation with me There was always some excuse as to why I couldn’t speak with one of themI am honestly shocked that the Marriott brand continues to allow this slum of a property to use the Marriott nameThis place and it’s customer service (or lack thereof) is a disgrace to the Marriott brand

Nikki Micale

This property is great Reasonable price, great rooms, excellent customer service from Brian at the Registration Desk and the restaurant staff too The room was clean, well maintained, and quiet

There is not much available within walking distance for food or entertainment as I had hoped there would be, so I was bored for the evening The quality, preparation, and service for the food was excellent! pool was very full with other guests and kids which was great for them, but I would have liked to have a live band or musician during the evening Overall a great experience

Avenda Marketplace

We came into town for a weekend getaway this place looked amazing online they really fluff it up With anticipation of a relaxing weekend by the pool we find out after booking that the pool is closed for no particular reason Called Guest services several times to get basic information about places to eat or fresh linen and towels no one answered

They also offer breakfast but it’s an Additional charge I suggest going to FLYING STAR CAFE it was a place I found online and it was amazing I wish they had a hotel I would probably have had a better time Unfortunately Crowne Plaza doesn’t meet its online presence so be forewarned you are just paying for a bed and a shower and a pretty lobby (why they got the 3rd star)

JL DaPilot

Well as far as hotels I would recommend just die to the fact that the housekeeper named Ruby went above and beyond for what ever I needed or my family needed She never hesitated and just because I recommend this their service Excellent when it comes to the rooms Now as for the front desk can get busy but they are very friendly as soon as they greet you you feel welcomed

Try it once won’t be disappointed Two pools are better than one and the view is pretty cool

Absolutely beautiful room Large living area with TV, fireplace, huge kitchen area with everything needed The bed was huge and so very comfortable that I didn’t want to get up

It had, yet, another TV The dressing area and bathroom were more than any family could need DID I mention the spacious closet?This location was perfect Its located right off the freeway but very quiet The landscaping has beautiful green grass that is well maintained I couldn’t ask for anything better And the plus, plus for me is that I am traveling with my dog She was welcomed and there were enough treatsThe breakfast was deliciousThe staff were amazingly friendly and so very accommodatingI would most definitely stay here everything I travel through this area

the room was super spacious and the bed was super comfortable!! our room had a small kitchen fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, pots, pans, plates, cups, forks, spoons, etc! i was so sad we were only there for 1 night breakfast was better than expected with a great variety and was actually really tasty! we loved this place so much and will definitely be returning!!! ONLY downside was that there was a $250 deposit that i was unaware of, didn’t find out until i checked my bank statement but it was refunded after checking out

Front office staff very helpful I really liked 👍 the front sitting room with fireplace Kitchenette was well stocked with all needed supplies to cook our own meals They even offer a service 🙄 where you can give them a grocery list and they will shop for you Excellent choice for a quite night

I just had two complaints (1) the fan in the bathroom was so loud and annoying (2) they left no soaps or lotion on the sink

Everything else was good Oh, the younger lady there, her name escapes me, was a bit rude I arrived there on Sunday at noon and she said she absolutely had no rooms available until 3, without even looking So I run over to eat and right as I sat down to eat I got a message saying my room is ready I’m not a mean guy but I think, to some people, ignorance is bliss Some training may need to take place in order for people to understand There were a few other things but I can let them slide I think this hotel is a few staff changes away from a five star

Debra Elrod

Front lobby undergoing renovation so there is some inconvenience right now But the desk clerk and manager were so helpful They put us on the first floor as my dog was ailing so couldn’t walk steps

The hotel is very near a major highway so it is noisy but convenient for getting on I-25 The rooms are very nice No carpet and beautiful interior Once renovations are done it should be a great place to stay

Jennifer luikens

This hotel is so noisy right on the freeway I will never stay here again I called to change rooms for a quiet room and they said they were sold out

How in the world is it sold out? Who would ever want to come to this town ever? I guess I am not getting any sleep tonight And look at all of the reviews online saying this hotel has cockroaches I cannot wait to get out of here in a few hours

We stayed here for two nights on the back end of a 5,000+ mile road trip across the country We desperately needed a day or two of rest and relaxation before we made the final 750 miles home – and decided to stay hereThe bad: The price per night for this place is insane

They wanted over $400 a night for the room alone, which of course is crazy expensive Back when we paid for rooms in Vegas I never paid anywhere near that, and for much bigger, newer roomsMediocre: The poker room was drastically understaffed and the staff they did have was not friendly Not that I blame them really, they are overworked and underpaid The seats were not comfortable, they didn’t have many trolleys for drinks and whatnot and the beverage service left a lot to be desiredThe good: The staff is friendly, the casino is well lit, secure and well stocked The hotel and the rooms themselves were great, very clean – just not worth the price tagAt the end of the day if they want to charge high end Vegas prices they need to provide a high end Vegas experience, and that includes a solid, amenable wait staff and gambling staff

Customer service is horrible since the pandemic Everything is a fight here We rented their super suite for $1500/night for a girls trip

They made every aspect of the stay difficult Weeks before we requested early check in When we arrived, they wouldn’t honor it AND even tried to make us wait an extra hour to check in at 4! The restaurant wouldn’t take a reservation and we’re going to make us wait an hour The sports bar tried the same thing b it there were so many empty tables that we walked in and sat down-after they’d hassled us all day, we’d had enough Our trip to the spa was bad too They had oversold day passes so the hot tubs and saunas were too crowded to use even if you’d paid for a service and expected the amenities They obviously have way too much funding from somewhere, because they don’t care a thing about guest experience!

Roshelle White

Extremely disappointed! We booked our room for one night, on a Monday and it was $300 When we got to our room and decided to checkout our dinner options, we realized we could only eat at the fast food grill The sports bar was closed for maintenance

I decided to DoorDash dinner only to find out that the dasher can only deliver to the front desk and I had to go downstairs and get my order We tried to bring up alcohol that we bought at the store but the casino wouldn’t allow it When we asked where we would be able to buy beer in the casino, a security guard pointed us towards the gift shop that closed at 7pm By this time it was already after 7 There were only two towels in the bathroom of our double queen bed room Makes no sense We found a long black hair in the tub The only positive is the bathroom had a really nice tub with good water pressure We went down to the casino and found out that your not allowed to drink on the casino floor You have to sit at the bar and finish your drink! I have never been to a casino this terrible No fun!!

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!

Loretta Rodriguez

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

Jocelyn Pace

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

At the bare minimum a resort should have a working hot tub In the two hours I have been here I have found that this place is far from everything there is no access to a hot tub for men If you are a woman you can access hot tub for $30 daily spa fee

Room is nice Bur no microwave Beds comfortable staff friendly 8n room one small coffee per person Otherwise Starbucks I can’t wait to get back home and use my community hot Tub!

Amanda McCaig

The Tamaya might be one of my favorite places on earth My husband and I recently got married at the Tamaya for a small intimate wedding this past May, we had all 50 of our guests from out of state staying at the resort and not a single person was disspointed

in fact everyone was blown away The customer service was incredible and they made everyone feel so special and significant The Santa Ana Pueblo is stunning and embodies everything that I love so much about New Mexico From the hiking trails, bike rides, horse back riding, and amazing restaurants, it truly is the most serene place in the area! I will absolutely be staying here again (hopefully soon!)

Abby O

We stayed here to finish our two week road trip and relax It was just what we needed before heading home Everything was in good condition and clean

The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful The food was very good and not too expensive for a resort My kids had a great time and we were able to relax before driving home We would definitely stay here again
