The hotel is nice, clean, fairly modern. It is close to the freeway. There is a small charge for parking. The breakfast is not free.

I was prepared to give this property a rather average, humdrum review with some things I liked (pleasant staff, clean if stark room) and some things that I didn't (they have taken paperless to extremes and useful information on amenities, etc., could not be found in my room). However, that was before I discovered in the morning that my vehicle had been broken into overnight, and some belongings stolen in a typical "smash and grab." The hotel, of course, disclaimed responsibility, which I expected, but also said that that part of the parking lot had no security cameras on it, which I did not. Under these circumstances, I will never stay there again.

The restroom smelled like cigarette, I called the front desk and all they could say was "I'm sorry about that" I had a headache for the 1st day and a half (it was a non smoking room) The walls are very thin and you can hear the cleaning ladies talking very early in the morning.

I would either like a refund or a discount. Friday night there was a dog who howled and whined until 11pm. I called and complained and nothing was done. I went down to the lobby and nothing was done. The walls are also thin so we could here everyone running down the hallways. Saturday, in the middle of the afternoon the dog was howling and whining again. I was super frustrated. My daughter was here for a swim meet and was unable to get adequate rest due to the issues. I also think $16 for the breakfast was a bit high for what was provided. I don’t think I will be staying at this hotel again.

Hi Melissa. I am very sorry to hear that you had a less than satisfactory experience with us. We are very sorry that you were distrubed by another guests' dog. As you are aware, we are a Pet-Friendly hotel. It is my understanding that you that our Front Desk Agent did offer to relocated you to another room away from that particular dog, but that you declined/did not return to the Front Desk to complete the room move. Please feel free to reach out to the Hotel General Manager via phone is you would like to discuss this in further detail. Thank you.

Could be better
Overall the room was clean but the bed spread smelled like epic BO. The TV remote needed a new battery. Since they are only cleaning the rooms every other day you would think there would be more time to be thorough

Very nice clean hotel in a safe area of Albuquerque. The king bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. Staff was super friendly. Only negative was that it was really cold in the lobby when we went down for breafast...someone may have forgotten to turn the heat on.

Not satisfied
I think for the price the breakfast should have been included. Even just coffee & a muffin but instead it was $5 for coffee & the breakfast was $16 for cereal,bacon,& light stuff. Not worth it

Thank you for your review, Marie. Hilton Garden Inn hotels do not offer a complimentary breakfast. All Hilton Garden Inn hotels offer a cooked-to-order breakfast or Buffet Breakfast, at an additional cost. We apologize that you were not aware of this prior to your stay with us. We do hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future. Thank you.
