Had to drive to Albuquerque to pick up a friend from the airport. Had to stay at Motel 505. Was so late that had to stay. Super tired. But the AC unit has mold growing in it. Not just a little. I took pictures and video. Not happy. Should get a refund. Totally unsafe and a health hazard. City of Albuquerque will be notified if I don't get a full refund. I'm sure more ac units are like that through multiple rooms.

Beautiful Views!

Beautiful views in the morning if you’re facing the highway side! Our first room the sliding door didn’t lock completely and the a/c didn’t work. The hotel staff were so friendly and moved us into a new room! It is definitely worth it for the price!!

An old outdated ex-Howard Johnson.

Dirty and shabby. Stayed 3 nights and room service never came by. According to our Uber driver this hotel has a "bad reputation". The sliding glass door to the balcony was jammed and filthy. Very outdated. Tiny TV. An old Howard Johnson that HJ probably sold rather than update.

The location of the property is unsafe. There are a lot of homeless people around the area and a lot of prostitution. The hotel’s condition is deteriorating. The front desk will even ask you to sign a waiver that they’re not liable for your car if something happens to it. Beware! I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

I left a little garbage in the room and on the balcony. I smoked cigarettes on the balcony but never in the the room. I moved a desk to prop my feet on while i watched tv. This prompted the hotel to keep my $100 dollar deposit which i never had returned. Businesses like this will use any excuse to keep your deposit. Great experience otherwise

Not staying here again.

Our room was not ready when we arrived. There was no parking. Lines to check in at midnight were long. The shower had no curtain, no soap, no shampoo or conditioner. The place is really run down and not clean. The part of town is also sketchy.
