Suburban Studios Albuquerque Uptown

You need a car for this one - or a taxi fare! Nowhere near downtown but relatively easy to find off one of the main East-West streets. This is a series of small apartments rather than motel or hotel. Plenty of car parking. I think some people may be long-term residents. Room perfectly comfortable but I detected smoking, but not enough to have me check-out! Not really much in the way of places to eat nearby - but if you hop in your car .... Very helpful young man on reception who provided me with some tape to deal with my vandalised car (NOT vandalised at the Apartments I must stress!) and the hotel cat is lovely (so if you are a cat lover, book now!). I was there for the Balloon Fiesta and one of the park and rides is 5 minutes down the main street so ideal location.

Ciggy smoke smell detected on the landing. Not good was my first impression but nothing in the NO SMOKING room. I am a STRICTLY NO SMOKING customer so any place with even the smell of smoking won't score highly from me. The BBQ place was suggested to me for dinner - a short walk up the road. It was DIRE - my worst meal in nearly a month in the States. I gave the meat to the cat but didn't enquire if he ate it!

Location and price

It is old If you are upstairs it is a long walk

Parking was easy, the one staff i spoke to during my three night stay was friendly. The room smelled horrible, like cigarette smoke(and i am a smoker) never seen house keeping during my stay. I didn't realize people lived here.

It worked for us because going to the festival. Bought food at grocery store and could cook at the room. Needs updating

Very friendly and efficient desk staff. Great amenities (kitchenette) in room.
