"Beautiful and courteous staff. Very safe environment."

Hilton Garden Inn Albuquerque North/Rio Rancho

10/10 Excellent

"The check in was easy. They were dog friendly. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Love the Crabtree & Evelyn products, small details that make an impact. My only constructive feedback is keep coffee in the lobby going longer. We don’t care about breakfast but at 9:20am we’re told “we just ran out” of coffee. We attended a concert and didn’t get into bed until 1am. Having to run to Starbucks after spending over $200 for 1 night stay a simple drip coffee would have been huge. Also a grassy dog area away from the busy road would be super for those of us paying $75 for pets to stay. Overall, excellent stay, my above are just suggestions to keep improving!"
