Econo Lodge Downtown Albuquerque

We really had a great time in Albuquerque. Despite taking a wrong turn and ending up in the God-forsaken city to begin with. I have to admit that I had a really nice experience with the local ************. They were all so great. I almost wanted to stay longer. But due to the bad timing of my partner's inconsiderate overdose, I must leave. So farewell God-Forsaken City, until we meet again, Shaggtheznutz

The bed was comfortable and linens and towels were clean. But the room was somewhat dingy and the bathroom was worn and grimy in spots. The sign in the lobby said that the breakfast would begin at 7:00 am, but the doors didn't open until 8:00 am each day. This caused me to miss the breakfast two of the three days. There were several homeless people loitering around the hotel.

Night man at the front desk was fantastic. Room was a typical cheap motel, lots of sirens at night and a gunshot a few blocks over when we arived.

The first night we checked and they put us in a room that was dirty and had a completely shattered window that was barely held together with tape. Wind came through as well as noise from the street below all night. They said there wasn't another room available. The following morning they also said no other rooms were available, but later in the morning they found they had 2 other rooms available. We were able to be placed in the quieter room, and this room was very good. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and best of all, it was quiet with no window issues.

The entire staff are completely rude and seem to HATE any guest that arrives! I was so offended I just left and took the loss of money!!

This is a basic motel which is perfectly fine for a brief stay, no frills stay in in Albuquerque. The room was clean, and the staff was helpful. Shout out to Robert for being quite helpful during my stay. Public transit, which is currently free, is nearby, as are several good restaurants. The motel is close to downtown, and the University of New Mexico is also nearby.

I stayed for 1 night. Shortly after i left, the receptionist (who i interacted with three times to check in and check out) texted me the following message: “Hey, this is Sam from the front desk at Econo. The Indian guy who was at the front desk when you checked out. I hope it is not too weird for me to get your number this way to try to talk to you.” I immediately blocked the number and did not respond. I reached out to ******* for a refund and they called the front desk at which point, he apparently told them he had texted me because i’d forgotten to sign a receipt when i checked out which is ABSURD. I continued to pursue the matter with ******* and they were unable to get the hotel on the phone again. The next day, i got a call from the manager AJ. I calmly explained the situation and while he was apologetic, he also said he couldn’t refund me. He asked if there had been anything wrong with the room and i was BAFFLED. The only appropriate resolution is to fire this employee immediately and issue a full refund - this is an OUTRAGEOUS violation of my privacy and the access this employee has to my personal information (including physical address and credit card) is terrifying. I filed a police report and will be continuing to pursue legal resolutions for the emotional distress this has causes. If you are a female traveler stay FAR FAR away from this business!!!

Desk person very helpful got me floor level room and suggested a restaurant and looked up restaurant information for me

It’s a nice quiet space, but not many dining options nearby. I had to rely on DoorDash. You also need cash for the snacks sold in the office. The hotel is located on Central Avenue, so it’s close to public transportation. I was able to hop on the ART to old town and walk a couple of blocks to catch the bus to the airport. The bus rides were free. The staff was friendly.
