Hyatt Place Albuquerque/Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel… perfectly poised for balloon fiesta with early morning breakfast box. Close to park and ride and concierge info. Only disappointment was closed pool area… could even Sun-bathe out there on beautiful days"

Luxury Inn

8/10 Good

"This was a decent room when traveling to the Balloon Festival. The room was large and clean. The bed was comfortable. The towels were old and there was a lot of road noise. A good stay for one night."

Casa Charleston+Private Hot Tub+Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"The house and yard was pet friendly, clean and right off I-40, which provided easy access to all of our destinations!"

UPgraded. UPscale. UPtown! 3 bed, 2 bath, sleeps 6! Near UNM + Nob Hill too!

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great home. Host communicates promptly. Lots of little extras and niceties that are a plus and appreciated."

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

10/10 Excellent

"What a nice house to stay in! It’s a friendly, safe neighborhood - lots of dog-walkers. Plenty of places to sit and play games or read books. The coded lock for the front door was seamless, unlike a couple other VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Comfortable beds and sofa. Roku TV and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the Nespresso machine, too! Kris even leaves a note saying there’s no need to do any cleaning or stripping of bed sheets - love that you don’t have to add any tasks to the often rushed morning you leave. We highly recommend this home."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Quite and comfortable with great coffee!!!"

Towneplace Suites By Marriott Albuquerque Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities were clean, had a nice fitness center, tons of restaurants and shopping nearby."

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."
