Top The Downs Racetrack and Casino Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Albuquerque/Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful both at check-in and check-out. The property met my expectations regarding what to expect from a Hyatt Place. We stayed at this location on our return home. We'd previously stayed at the Hyatt Place by the Albuquerque airport and it did not meet our expectations of Hyatt Place quality. We sought a new place to stay upon our return because of it."

Adobe Home, 2bd/1ba, Garage, Dog

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful home with everything you need for a weekend getaway!"

Historic Nob Hill home with cozy covered deck and close to Route 66.

10/10 Excellent

"This is an absolutely fantastic property! Kristin, the owner, was a delight to work with. She promptly answered any questions and was proactive. I booked several more stays at this property for the upcoming year. Love it!"

Towneplace Suites By Marriott Albuquerque Uptown

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was extremely close to all the things we were interested in doing while in ABQ."

ABQ Uptown Condo near I-40, 2bd/1ba, AC!

8/10 Good

"The location was great, with easy access to the interstate and a nearby shopping district (Uptown). We could even walk to the theater! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, and we easily set up house for our 2 week stay.There were unfortunately two drawbacks that keep this from getting a perfect 5 stars. The most significant was the toilet. It has a "round" rather than "elongated" bowl. You almost never find these in public restrooms or hotels, and for very good reason. The tank crowds the seat, further enhancing the discomfort.The other issue is that there is an apartment immediately above this one, and you can hear people walking around at night. Earplugs are provided as an amenity."

Casa Charleston+Private Hot Tub+Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was super clean, also very cozy my family and I loved the vibe! We felt very safe the property is very secure. Also the host was very easy to communicate with and gave such good hospitality! I would highly recommend this place!!"
