Rio Grande Inn is just a few blocks from the edge of Old Towne. There is a restaurant on site and several more within easy walking distance. Old Towne was a little too far for us to walk in the heat. We had really nice breakfast in their restaurant but the wait staff obviously did not like working the morning... More

We planned ahead, as usual, we checked in late and the Staff was wonderful. He got us checked right in, gave us a welcome gift for staying, was quick and efficient. The hotel was very nice, decorated in southwest décor. The layout is a little quirky, so just follow the directions they give you at check-in. Our room was quite... More

We stayed here for four days. The location was perfect---close to old town, and the freeway. The room was very nice and clean . Definately would stay again.. The staff was very knowledgable on resturants, sightseeing, and directions, and above all friendly.

This is a two thumbs up, TWO PAWS up review. We REALLY like this Best Western property. The hotel seems like brand new and features cheerful southwestern motifs. The beds are very comfortable and the large screen tv has about a zillion channels. The hotel is only a few blocks away from Old Town Albuquerque and has an impressive pool... More
