We booked a room very early for the Balloon Fiesta and got a very good rate. But when we checked in, they were going to charge us a higher rate. Luckily I had a copy of my original confirmation with the lower rate. After I presented my copy, they quickly agreed to change the rate back. So, it saves to... more

Having read some of the doom and gloom reviews of this hotel, I was actually nervous. However, my experience was actually quite pleasant. Having lived in ABQ for years, the drugs and problems with downtown and needle park are not news to me, so I knew what to expect from the area (seriously - do not leave your car parked... more

I stayed at the Hotel Blue while on a short getaway with my friend. When we pulled up to the hotel, we thought the outside didn't look too promising. Once inside the lobby, we realized the hotel was nicer than it appeared. Our room was clean and very comfortable. The bed had a foam top on it so it was... more

Thanks to the Hotel Blue, my first visit to Albuquerque was a disaster (on my birthday, to boot), and I doubt the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau would be proud. The first night, a Friday, there was a horrible, all-night ruckus in a room nearby, which included breaking glass, vomiting, and shouted threats. Calls to the front desk did not... more

While we were downstairs swimming in the pool, our very expensive DSLR camera was taken without force from our LOCKED hotel room. Luckily it was insured but unfortunately our 4 gigs of photography which may include the last moments of the life of someone whom we care very dearly cannot be replaced. I was appalled by the reaction of the... more

They're trying but... Let's face it, being across from a possible 'needle park' and having trafffic noise, not to mention fights breaking out (were those really illegals sneaking around at 3am?) each day we were there ruined the experience of a good bed and redecoration. We expected rough but this took the cake - the front desk ignored the altercations... more

Looked good on the internet but what a disappointment. First park accross street is where homeless sleep. Second the gated parkinglot is for a reason, safe perhaps but not the kind of place you want to walk around. Third is we arrived on a Sunday late afternoon and nothing was open anywhere around. Two bars that allowed kids but mine... more

I recently spent two nights at the Hotel Blue and overall I was happy with my stay. Location wise its great as you are just a short stroll to the bar scene on Central. They offer a free shuttle to the Airport, Convention Centre and Old Town but if for any reason that wasnt available you are also by a... more

This hotel has nice beds. That's the only good thing I can say. The front desk girl, Melissa, has a horrible attitude. She also uses the phone to make personal calls and puts customers on hold. I witnessed it myself. Actually, all the front desk people are really rude. I know it is a cheap hotel, so you get what... more
