Sandia Peak Inn

Very good and professional staff, sorry for them to deal with rude customers. Really hard job to manage. We were very happy and pleasant stay at Sandia peak inn. Very clean, comfortable and good location. Very close to old town plaza. Highly recommended!!!

We were traveling through and looked on yelp for recommendations in the area this one popped out. Area was a bit shady honestly didn't feel to safe Front desk manager was very nice super easy check in The hotel looked nice parking lot clean nicely decorated with Native American decor The room was big clean, refrigerator, tv worked Bed was comfortable pillows small but comfortable Restroom was small door hit the toilet when you opened it Water pressure was strong, hot water Overall it was a decent place to stay the night

I hate spending more than $100 a night on a hotel room. Heck, might even knock that dollar figure down by $40. If I find a recently renovated Motel 6 I'm a happy camper. Sandia Peak Inn made me think I splurged at $188 for the wrong reasons. GF and I had left Amarillo, Texas early headed to Albuquerque early to explore as I'd hadn't been there since I was a kid. Checked out a few things; called the hotel to ask about early check in. Guy on the phone asked when I wanted to check in? I said 2pm. He then told me it was $50 to check in at that time. Turns out looking at the hotels.com website...that was the normal check in time! We just ran around and wasted time. Strapless bra for the GF for her new dress. OMG, weed is legal here! Hit up a dispensary; my first!Put the initial phone call in the past and walked in the door. There's my cc info on a print out. CCV number too; how does this conglomerate expedia/hotels/priceline work? Had to run my card twice for the $188 plus another $100 for "incidentals".We get to the room finally and wanted to unload our ice chest including my GFs insulin..mini fridge is unplugged. Also, it's over 90 degrees when we visited. Room PTAC was off. Something I've never encountered. Usually, it's at least cooling/heating your room when you arrive. I paid almost $200 for this? Hot tub was fine; while it works so well for pornos it was more just for show. Speaking of "show" alot of the local accents depicting the Southwest were just tacky. Most of you don't speak electrical but see the pics.All homes have light switches we use. It's basic one switch is one small notch in a plastic plate. Most of us have a plate that has two switches. See the pic of one switch with drywall peeking through. Cheap, cheap, and more cheap adorned the aged walls.More romantic hot tub weekend crushed by Sandia; enter the giant two GM SUVs with a million kids that barreled into the door next to us. To the families credit we didn't hear much; but who books that many people next to a purpose built romantic room?Won't stay here again...

Friendly staff. Spotless rooms. Not too much more to add, but just wanted to emphasize what a pleasure it was to stay at this small but excellent motel. Thanks Sandia Peak Inn!!

A good motel! It's in the historic district and close to lots of restaurants, a Ross, and a Five Below. Check in was easy. The owners are very nice and it's family owned and operated. The room we had was great. It was clean, there was a working TV, comfy beds, and an AC. Personally, i loved that it was so clean. The towels are good too. There is a pool! It's square, small, and 4,6" deep. Definitely not dangerous but big enough to have some fun. The continental breakfast...leaves something to be desired, but there's waffles and Twinkie's, and that's enough for my kiddo! Anyways, it's cheap, comfy, and clean. I do recommend!

Uncomfortable bed.Smell in the room,my clothes was smelling after spending a night there..VERY loud location,I was waking up all night.It was hard to sleep.Nice host.Ok breakfast.

Very clean. Family owned and greeted wonderfully! Night person and cameras to ensure guests and their vehicles are safe. Great breakfast. Warm and inviting atmosphere

Very strange. This motel is also listed as a Howard Johnson and is painted bright orange. I'm just sayin'--It's located on Central Avenue SE. Anyway, it's a good place, neighborhood is a little sketchy but I felt safe. It was clean and up to date. We chose it for being pet friendly for our little bird. Manager was super nice. We like motels for the ease of unpacking our car so they work well for us. Downside was that there was drag racing at night on Central Ave, but the cops were passing out tickets. Ear plugs took care of the problem. Never travel without them! Yes, I'd stay here again.If you stay here, be sure to have a steak dinner at the Monte Carlo down the street. Great place for eats.

My 94-yr-old friend and I stayed just one night and the hotel is very nice, although a little run down. Freshening up would help. But the young woman at the front desk couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Her whole attitude was happy and fun and she really cared about our comfort. Whatever we needed, she was ready to help.

It's billed as a Howard Johnson but it's not!! Spent 20 minutes fixing the toilet seat when we got to the room. Does not look anything like the pics on the website. We rebooked at another hotel!
