We had a great 1 night visit to this hotel. It is immediately off the free and decent walking distance to old town. The hotel was clean and quiet but not "fancy or new" we are more practical travelers who just need a place to sleep and shower. Across the street was a cool wine bistro we went for dinner... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay with us at the Rio Grande Inn. We wish you could have stayed with us a little bit longer. As you may have noticed, we are currently under going some light renovations. These improvements include new carpeting, bedding and some public space upgrades. More

Stayed here while on a girls trip to New Mexico and we were very pleased. Not sure what others would expect 4 star hotel for 2 star price. Staff was friendly, restaurant good (at least for breakfast), shuttles were prompt, picking us up at Railrunner when we arrived, taking us to and from Old Town which is only a few... More

We spent almost a week here over Christmas, and were quite pleased overall. Although we were initially quoted a shockingly high rate, I was able to book online for about $70/night. No, this is not a brand new building. I would guess it's from the '70s or early '80s. The rooms were clean (recently painted, new-ish carpet), and the furnishings... More

We stayed in ABQ for one night so we would be close to the airport for a morning flight back to NY from a week's stay in Santa Fe. We were glad that we chose the Rio Grande Inn, as it was not far from the sights in Old Town and reasonably close to the airport. Our room was quiet... More

Hotel interior is old and tired (and quite tacky). Although it is "near" the old town, it is still a good walk to the old town. Booked this hotel because it is the only hotel in the old town area with a complimentary airport shuttle, listed on the website as starting from 7am "to and from" the hotel to airport.... More

I booked this only to stay the night and get up and go. Gated so your car is safer. It is close to the highway so a plus and minus. I thought the room was very clean and nice. Like others mentioned very close to the old town. Other than that I thought this offered a very good value. Value... More

We stayed here for a couple of days in November, 2011, when we were called to Albuquerque unexpectedly. Unfortunately, it is pretty much what you might expect for an older motel, and keep in mind it is close to the highway. I didn't realize that when I booked. Overall, the place inside looks outdated and a little tacky- kind of... More

Friends made this reservation for us and the location was just right for it's proximity to the Biopark and Old Town. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The bar satisfactory. The restaurant was EXCELLENT! We ate sandwiches/snacks for one meal and a traditional New Mexican breakfast for another. The food was plentiful and well seasoned. The service was thoughtful, especially... More

The staff was professional and prepared. The room was nicely remodeled and very clean. I will stay there every time that I am in Albuquerque. Ask for the chili popcorn when you check in, it is very good! Nice wine tasting room and restaurant just across the street. More
