We had a decent stay at the Holiday Inn, thanks to its convenient location near I-25 and the Sandia Tramway. The rooms were clean and comfortable, especially the king sizes. However, the breakfast was quite basic, and we faced a hiccup with our maid service not being provided as requested. Overall, it offered good value for its location but had its issues.

My stay at this hotel was quite mixed. While the rooms were clean and the staff at the front desk were courteous, there were significant issues with amenities that overshadowed the positives. I was really looking forward to the hot tub, which was unfortunately not available during our stay. On top of that, I had some trouble with housekeeping, and the breakfast didn't quite hit the mark. Overall, it was not the experience I had hoped for.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. While the room was spacious and reasonably well-appointed, noise from adjacent rooms and a few maintenance issues detracted from the experience. The pool and hot tub facilities had inconsistent conditions during my stay. Overall, I found it a decent place but with several areas that need improvement.

I had a decent stay at this hotel that offered a comfortable and spacious room but faced a few hiccups along the way. The facilities, including the pool and hot tub, were enjoyable, though the hot tub had some initial issues. Service could improve as I experienced a lack of room cleaning one day. The breakfast was standard, but I've had better options elsewhere. Overall, it's a good place if you appreciate the convenience of parking and a safe area.

I had a great stay overall at this hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the room was spacious and clean. The location was convenient, close to various dining options, but I did notice some noise issues and a few maintenance concerns in the room. The breakfast was standard but satisfactory. It's a good value for the price, especially if you're looking for a comfortable place to rest while you explore the area.
