Top Sandia Lakes Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Alameda at Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Park

8/10 Good

"It was good everything was good even when we had no shower curtains in our room the front t desk put one in for use"

Extended Stay America Suites Albuquerque Rio Rancho Blvd

10/10 Excellent

"$$$$$"

Sandia Resort And Casino

8/10 Good

"The hotel is immaculate. It looks very recently renovated. The hotel staff is great. The restaurant staff that we interacted with aren't the warmest or most on top of things. I brought my family along on this trip as I was under the impression it was family friendly. The pool area is definitely not geared toward small children. On weekends, they bring a DJ in and the pool has a much more club feel to it. There are no limits on bathing suits in the pool area so your kids may have questions about thong bikinis and gstrings, so be prepared! Great place to go for just adults, but in hindsight, may not be the greatest for young kids."
