Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were clean and front desk staff was very helpful and friendly.
First rate experience here with excellent customer service from Janeth, the General Manager! This property is super clean with all the amenities you need in a great safe location right near the highway (but pretty quiet) and has Mountain View’s. Restaurant on property, Tuesday the bartender does a great job at the great little restaurant on property. five stars for this 3-4 star hotel!
All of the staff I interacted with were awesome, they were very friendly and welcoming and I had a genuine pleasure speaking with them. However, I had loud neighbors. They blasted their TVs late into the night, even when I put ear plugs in I could hear every word from their TV. My suggestion for Hilton is to actually invest in noise canceling insulation between units. This would help minimize cases like this.
The hospitality, the workers we met were nothing but kind and went above and beyond to show us places to visit.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was great. Friendly. Helpful. The room didn’t have any linens or pillows for the pullout bed and there wasn’t any extra toilet paper. The toilet wasn’t flushing well, but anytime we called down we got what we needed quickly.
The morning Host (Food preparation/cook) at the restaurant area was amazing. She was so very friendly and professional. The waitress was so very polite and friendly as well.
Many stars for them!!!
Fast and easy check in. Friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Clean rooms, great location. Next to Cracker Barrel and Denny's. Would definitely stay here again.
This hotel is clean and well maintained. Although I don't feel hotels along the Interstate are very safe in Albuquerque, I like the location of this one. Close to a lot of good restaurants.
