In reality, it is intimate and the art deco rooms are fairly attractive (with white walls and furniture and simple black accents), but it wou...

Would Definitely Stay Again - user review
Contrary to other reviews we read, we found this hotel to be both safe and updated. The Tempurpedic bed was wonderfully comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The breakfast had some good variety and was well stocked. This hotel is definitely older than other downtown ritzy hotels, but it is in a very ...

Comfortable, but short on staff - user review
The rooms were clean and the tempurpedic mattress was comfortable, but they are clearly understaffed. There was almost always only one person at the front desk juggling phone calls and check in/check out. Their complementary breakfast was also short on choices (three days in a row they had no milk f...

The staff was very friendly and the bed was the most comfortable I've splept in in a hotel. Although laptop internet access was available in the room, there was no place to put a laptop to use it at the access point. A beautiful swimming pool was closed for repairs the whole time of my stay (four ni...

Gem in downtown Albuquerque - user review
When looking for a hotel to spend the night in downtown Albuquerque, nothing really stuck out until I saw the Hotel Blue.

Hotel Blue is conveniently located in the downtown area. That is the only positive for this hotel.

I stayed at this hotel to treat myself to a nice night in Albuquerque on my way to Santa Fe but it was no treat at all and I would have been much better off at the youth hostel down the road or any of the $20 per night places on the street. It was run down and the pool that was touted and attracted ...

I was so shocked when I arrived at the hotel to see its poor physical condition! The lobby was old, drab and cold.

If you want economical in downtown Albuquerque, Hotel Blue is a good bet. The hotel has a friendly and helpful staff. The rooms have been renovated and are clean, but could use a bit more light.

The motel is very clean and nicely decorated, but they over advertise this is not a boutique motel! Bed is great but towels are paper thin and amenities are lacking.
