What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Suite Delight

I booked a suite during my stay, and it was incredibly spacious and clean! With two king beds, a comfortable couch, a work desk, and a flat-screen TV, it felt like a home away from home. The fridge and microwave were particularly useful, making it easy to enjoy snacks in the evening. I appreciated the ample storage and the great WiFi connection for getting some work done. Truly a wonderful experience!

Modern Bathroom Essentials

The bathroom in my suite was equipped with DOVE pump products which was a nice touch! It was clean and functional, though I noticed a need for some minor updates to the tiles. Nonetheless, having everything I needed made my morning routine seamless.

Great Pool Area

I enjoyed the pool and hot tub area during my stay. It was well-maintained and offered a relaxing space to unwind after a long day. I also appreciated having a restroom nearby and the option for a refreshing swim before breakfast!

Delicious Breakfast Options

The breakfast at the hotel exceeded my expectations! There was a good variety of options available, from hot items to cereals and fresh fruits. It was a nice perk to have early bird snacks available for guests attending the Balloon Festival. Definitely a great way to start the day!

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.

Overall, it was not the experience I had hoped for.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects.
