Not the best any more
Room was fairly clean. Toilet was clogged in the room, with a wet plunger wrapped in a wet bag sitting next to it. So, I tried to unclog it myself, despite this being an obvious on-going problem. It didn't unclog. So, I called down and asked for another room (for the aforementioned reason). She put us in another room. The toilet was slow-running in that one, but we kept it anyway. HIE is not what it used to be.

Nothing in stock
Phone in the room didn't work. No hand towels or wash clothes were available. The swimming pool was out of order. Breakfast was all out by 8am. Asked for blankets for the bed, they only had 1 sheet.

It was a good stay despite them charging us on top of what Hotels.com charged us, and then said they refunded us but it didn’t show up on my credit card.

Nice large comfortable room, but…
Nice large comfortable room with a view of a used car parking lot. But we didn’t go for the view. The room needs a chair or couch or something to sit on rather than just an office chair and bed.

All good but people were Parked in Fire Lanes
Everything was great except....parking availability due to meeting - and those folks were parked in the Fire Lane, which is a safety concern for me.

Nov 3, 2024
Customer service was nice and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and spacious but we booked the hotel because I have kids who love to swim. The disappointment was that the indoor pool was cold and dirty. The hot tub water was green and smelled stagnant. Could tell both have not been cleaned in a while. Usually you could smell the chlorine but this one you couldn’t.

Good room but hotel needs a good cleaning
The staff was friendly and our room was clean. However, the exterior and interior public areas need a good cleaning. Outside was pretty dirty with trash and cigarette butts. The inside hallways looked like they hadnt been vacuumed in sometime. The elevator door tracks were filled with dirt and grime.

Highly Recommend This Hotel
This hotel is easy to get to off the interstate. Conveniently located for easy travel. The parking is well lighted and we felt safe staying here. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The breakfast was enjoyable and the eating area is clean with plenty of tables. We actually tried to book this hotel again on our way back through Albuquerque but it was already sold out.

It was very clean room and the bed was a 10 👍👍. I didn’t like the shower, the water is coming out slow and low and the floor in the shower was very slippery, I almost fell. Need to put some none slip in there.

Handle on bathroom sink non functional and unable to get hot water at sink - had to make do by utilizing shower as source. Tile floors had black footprints (lack of proper cleaning) all over. Refrigeration compartment was inoperable because entire area was frozen over with ice. Very disappointing for an IHG facility.
