The Inn itself was nice.  Room was clean.  My experience was with a clerk on duty the night we checked in.  My husband and I were speaking to each other about a different hotel we were going to stay at, but when we got there they had no Wi-Fi so we found this place San Mateo Inn.  While my husband and I were talking about this other hotel and the clerk was supposed to be checking us in, he all of a sudden said to us “If you give me a F…… minute I’ll give you the password for the Wi-Fi.”  Well first off, we were not even talking to him or asking him anything, but he found it necessary to cuss at us for no reason.  The stay would have been nice, but his words just stunned me.  I’ve never been spoken to like that from a clerk!!!!!  I’ve sent a review to the hotel, but no one has done anything about it.  Again, the Inn itself was nice, but be careful because they will cuss you out for no reason.  Will never stay here again simply because of that one clerk!!!!!!!!

Foul Language

For the money, IT CAN’T BE BEAT! OK, if you judge this place against the Four Seasons, you are ignorant. This is a budget-conscious motel that goes above and beyond its peers. Chocolates were left on the bed for us. Room was immaculately clean.  Even the cheap coffee maker was clean and that never happens. Mattresses were comfy. Room smelled good. It had a fridge, microwave and hairdryer. A++ 

If you are on a tight budget but want to feel safe and comfy, GO HERE!

A+++ Accommodation for Budget-Conscious Travelers

First, the good news.  At least to the extent that anything about staying here is “good.”  The positive is that the location is an easy on/off Interstate 40.  Now . . .

The photo of the entrance makes the property look inviting.  But when a guest walks through that front entrance into the reception area, what’s noticeable is an odor of cleaning agent and/or room freshener that is overwhelming.  Obviously, they are trying to mask the smell of something!  Not good.  Don’t worry about having breakfast in this area while whiffing a stench because breakfast is not offered.

The mats outside the room doors are ratty and many are ripped.  The property should just throw them out., as they create a bad suggestion of what might be inside.  The carpet in the room I occupied was dirty, as were the sheets and one pillow case.  The items looked to have such wear that I’d guess they can’t be properly cleaned.  Everything in the room and bathroom is very old and way beyond its useful life.  The shower water was barely hot enough for a comfortable shower.  The ice machine may make ice but it does not dispense it, so assistance from the front desk is necessary to scoop out the ice. In terms of “overnight experience,” the worst factor is that this place is NOISY.  San Matteo is a busy street and the drivers are wizzing by all night.  The sound of the traffic awakened my wife and me throughout the night.

Albuquerque is suffering from a sizable population of people without homes living on the streets .  Many of them are in the area of this property.  Accordingly, everything is locked almost all the time.  In this area, even the restaurants lock the rest rooms INSIDE the restaurant!  If you walk to a nearby restaurant, you are likely to be pan-handled.

Move on . . .

Avoid this Property

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the location. With that being said the owners have done a WONDERFUL job of keeping the grounds safe. We felt safe in parking lot and in our room. Our room was very nice and clean. Updated to a mountain country feel. Staff at front desk very kind. Affordable rates. We would totally stay here again. Left this morning safe and rested for the rest of our travels. Thank you guys for being part of our relocation adventure and being there for us to rest our heads!

Room was clean and owners keep property safe and secure.

Upon entering the room. it looks nice, clean and newer.
The problem I had with the room was lack of power outlets.  We had an extension cord, but if you don't you will have problems.
The bathroom is very small.
It was nice to have no carpeting, but it was a pain as we were on the 1st floor and the creaking of the people upstairs was annoying.  The walls are pretty thin too.
We overlooked the breakfast option thinking every hotel does it....nope not this one.  For $4 more a night more we could have got breakfast at a different place.  That was our mistake, but just take note.

Would give this place a pass

Clean and nice.  Nothing fancy, but the price was great.  This hotel has been completely renovated.  Has 24 hour on site security and a Denny’s next door.   We stayed here with our golden retriever.  We would stay here again.  They go the extra mile on security.  The beds were very comfortable.   24 hour coffee (k-cups) in the lobby

Clean, Safe, has all the basics, allows large dogs.

I'm giving this place 4.5. The Inn is an old Motor Lodge/Motel that they have painstakingly renovated and the rooms are lovely.

I was concerned when I first pulled in, but I was only staying one night. I had a room in the back, away from the street noise and my room was immaculately clean.

DID I SAY IMMACULATELY CLEAN? It was incredible. Bravo to housekeeping.

The ladies at the front desk were lovely. The room was terrific. No carpeting, thank God, and a lovely wood laminate floor. The bed was extremely comfortable and the size of the room was large. Plenty of hot water.

You can tell they are really trying to meet their clients needs. There was a welcome note and chocolates on the bed when I arrived. Plenty of clean fluffy towels with soaps and shampoo,

My only criticism is only 2 out of the 5 lamps in the room worked and the dead bolt on the door was broken. Fresh Kurig coffee in the lobby, No breakfasts, but there is a Denny's across the street.

I'm a big guy that can take care of myself. I would definitely stay here again for a single nights stay, not long term. And, I don't think I could recommend this place to women traveling by themselves.

The pictures are accurate. What they don't show you is that there is a security fence that surrounds the building,

Great for the price and VERY CLEAN!!

Although the property is an older one, the room has been renovated. The mattress was very comfortable and it was nice to have a refrigerator and a microwave in the room. The staff were very accommodating. For this stay, we did not need a breakfast amenity, so a reduced room rate fit our stay.  The way they controlled access to the parking lot also provided a lot of comfort. We plan to consider it when staying in ABQ in the future.

An older property with nicely renovated rooms.

This was one of the cleanest hotels I've seen.  Staff were super friendly & accommodating.  Mattresses were of top quality & very comfortable.  There is no carpeting, which is a plus for cleanliness.  Nice towels, not the thin skimpy kind.  This is an old hotel & does need some updating & paint, but to me this is minor compared to the positive things.  I would rather stay in a clean, comfortable room than a 5 star resort that is not the cleanest.  Rates were great.   We had a microwave & refrigerator & used both.  Would stay again.

Not the Ritz, but well worth the money.

Clean, comfy beautiful room. Chocolates on the bed, big bathroom and good shower. Just what we needed. The two gentlemen on the desk when we arrived were really lovely! I would definitely return. Thankyou!
