This Best Western was very comfortable and pleasant. It is a short walk from old town and also convenient to the airport. The staff are super, the beds are comfy, and they even had Pikes Place Starbucks for the coffee machine. There is a bar and small restaurant if you are tuckered after a drive. A cooked breakfast was included too. Great base in Albuquerque.
