Top Sandia Lakes Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Nativo Lodge Hotel Albuquerque

8/10 Good

"Endef having to go out for breakfast nearby but accommodating in room change."

Motel 6 Albuquerque, NM - North

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect!"

Extended Stay America Suites Albuquerque Rio Rancho Blvd

10/10 Excellent

"lean room"

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."

Hilton Garden Inn Albuquerque North/Rio Rancho

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The facility is very clean and feels welcoming. The room was good but a few hairs in the tub. Wasn't impressed of having to pay extra money to eat a hotel breakfast."
