Although probably a random occurrence, the hotel experienced plumbing problems while I was there. I awoke one morning to discover a black liquid in my bathroom sink. When I phoned the front desk, I was told that another room near mine had a blockage and that someone would take care of it. I requested that my room be cleaned early,... More

The room, restaurant, locations--all good. I was especially appreciative of the shuttle service, which took me to the Pueblo Cultural Center and picked me up when I called. This was not part of their advertised service. The drivers were delightful and helpful. At the reception desk I got plenty of help with how to navigate the bus system, and short... More

I've stayed at the BW Rio Grande Inn for business a half dozen times over the past year, and found nothing but great value, service and hospitality. Love the hearty breakfasts and cozy lounge with its outgoing bartenders (yeah, Zack) and regular crowd of young travelers. And, its a short ride by hotel shuttle to the airport. (Would be nice...

Without being noisy, this hotel is very well located to highway access and a main thoroughfare to other attractions. We spent a wonderful couple of hours our first night decompressing at the bar with a terrific bartender. We ate at the restaurant the second night, and were extremely please as well as surprised at how good the food was. The... More

We stayed for two nights and were very happy.The room was a decent size and the bed was very comfortable.We ate twice in the restaurant for dinner on both nights and found the food excellent.The waitress was attentive and helpful with a lovely personality. All in all with its location to the historic area I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Some things you have to expect when choosing an average hotel -- not-so-great beds & linens, ho-hum restaurants, bathroom tubs that don't drain, etc. So this one was no surprise. They had cards placed throughout the room stating that they wanted to provide the best service, so "just ask". We did. The air conditioner didn't work correctly. It had only... More

My husband and I stopped in Albuquerque for one night and stayed here. We got a great deal were very pleased with our room. The decor throughout the hotel is festive and colorful. Our room had a comfortable bed and pillows, and even a mini fridge. The bathroom was oddly configured and had no fan, but it was clean. The... More

Stayed one night. The decor is great. Rooms comfortable and clean. Nice pillows and turquoise blankets. Mini fridge in room. Our room #420 only had one small window that looked out to a wall, strange, but able to look out to the side for some view. Rooms were quiet. Breakfast was good and good price with discount in a very... More
