Hotel Blue looks a little scuffy from the outside but I believe they are still in the renovation mode. Very well maintained inside with clean and nicely decorated rooms. The breakfast they provide is a nice assortment with a little something for everyone. In addition, you can grab coffee/tea/hot chocolate/juice 24 hours a day. Located on Central Avenue just a...

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

If you just need a quick and easy place to stay in downtown Albuquerque, the Blue Hotel is not bad. The rooms are clean and well-equipt and the breakfast is what one finds in most places. The parking lot is rather odd: you have to wait for a big iron gate to swing open. When you get off the elevator... More

We stayed here recently and I have to say in this price point it is unbeatable. Nice quiet breakfast, so unlike it would be at a Super 8, great looking pool (but we didn't swim so I don't know if it is cold or not), prompt service at check in, REALLY clean room and bathroom, great mattress but you need...

We stayed on on a Thursday night so that we could be close to an event at the National Hispanic Heritage Center on Friday. It is an old style motor hotel with external entrance doors that has been tastefully updated to include Temperpedic memory foam mattresses. All had a good night's rest. Although we didn't use it the hotel has... More

The value was great. The rooms were very clean and it was so nice to have a tempurpedic bed. The staff was great and the breakfast was nice in the morning. Location to everything was perfect, just minutes from old town, the zoo, the aquarium, the main strip, etc. Definitely recommend this place!

If you're going to Albuquerque, THIS is the place to go! The hotel is cozy, clean, well-refurbished. The pool is a REAL one (not the puddles you see in some motels), and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. And the location is good. So, you expect the price to be high... instead is more or less what you pay... More

I definitely recommend the Hotel Blue to anyone traveling to Albuquerque. It's in a good location (especially if you want to see someone doing meth in the park), and it has the best staff ever. Everyone front desk person and shuttle driver offered superior service! One awesome female shuttle driver even drove us to CVS for "medical supplies" before taking... More

While it is an older hotel, I believe the owners are slowly working to bring it up to date. It almost has a 50's glamour vibe to it with white and black tiles in the entrance and stainless steel looking furniture. Very comfortable beds (Tempurpedic), flat screen TVs, DirectTV, and faux fireplaces in the rooms make it very cozy. Staff... More
