It was noisy, right by a busy raid, metal bed made noise every time you moved throughout the night, an employee pacing around playing music loudly in his phone outside our room, and the breakfast was pretty non-existent.

I am truly baffled at how this hotel has an average rating of 8.2/Very Good. The pictures are definitely deceiving. Rather than looking retro, it looks rundown. Our linens were literally threadbare - holes in the blankets and sheets. The bathrooms have exposed wiring and missing drain grates, and the smoke detectors are half hanging off. Additionally, there’s major design flaws. The bed frames are metal, and if you accidentally hit them with your feet, they clang loudly. The showers are walk in, but the ledges aren’t tall enough and/or the curtains aren’t long enough, so every shower floods the bathroom. It’s a good thing we were only staying one night mid-road trip, because I don’t know that we could’ve put up with it otherwise.

The blow dryer was broken. I had to come down to the front office for anything I needed although I got constant text messages from my phone from Old Town ABQ. There was a long term guest with Maryland plates transacting a drug deal in the front parking lot. When I went to the continental breakfast there was an elderly man putting everything away and giving me a hard mean stare. There was not even any coffee! The in-room coffee machine was so hard water stained it did not look safe to drink from. The television remote is NOT cleaned with each guest, it was so greasy feeling. Finally the bed was just a metal spring with a padded cushion for a mattress.

We booked a room through Hotels.com for our stay during the balloon festival. We booked a "suite". When we arrived, the hotel looked NOTHING like the photos. We got our key (a blank white card, no markings whatsoever) and opened the door to our room to find a standard single room with two beds, no living area, absolutely NOT a suite, in disrepair, and not at all looking like the photos listed online. We immediately went to the front desk to address the falsely advertised booking, and were told "that's what we call a suite, its just a bigger room" - no, "suite" has an actual definition, and this is not it. We then contacted Hotels.com, who also contacted the front desk and were told they would not give any refund whatsoever. I contacted Wyndham, and have not heard back. The room was so gross, we only stayed one out of our two nights. I can't believe I paid over $500 for two nights at this place and was absolutely scammed by their fake photos and making up their own definitions of established words.

Air was very loud. Outside looks really nice but construction and cleaning was poor in the room. No fan in the bathroom and then steam trigged the fire alarm. Hole in the ceiling. They charged my card when I checked in and then charged it again. Took over a week to reverse the charges as they had gone through. A hold is never usually charged. Only time I've ever took a video of my room before checking out.

The room was generally clean. The bathroom needed a deeper cleaning and the toilet seat was loose. Staff was couteous but there was a general feeling of uneasiness during our stay because of the sirens and police loudspeaker warnings.
