Top Downtown Albuquerque Hotel Reviews

Isleta Resort and Casino

8/10 Good

"The food was mediocre in the food court and restaurant. Also, the spa does not offer massages services."

Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wow we loved staying here during the balloon Fiesta! You are north of the park and downtown so it is easy access to the park or "park and ride" and you can by-pass the traffic. But what I loved most is after a long day of sightseeing you can come back and enjoy the casino, the pool and the great and reasonable restaurant selections. Breakfast or dinner we did not have to leave the property once back at our room. Also, on the 6th floor you could see the balloons once launched in the am and pm from a distance when not at the park. Nice place all you need for a great vacation."

ARRIVE Albuquerque

10/10 Excellent

"ARRIVE-ABQ was a great stay and just as promised in the descriptions and photos, not always the case. We loved the RT 66 vintage road trip theme! We were especially impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff from the valet, to front desk as well as housekeeping and restaurant staff. The food at the restaurant, the DWTNR was excellent and the express breakfast offered during Balloon Fiesta was delicious and so convenient! We definitely recommend!"
