Albuquerque, New Mexico Review Summary
If you’re heading to the American Southwest, consider a stop at Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city. This city combines old world charm with some modern amenities and reviewers like the mountain scenery, cultural activities, and low cost for entertainment and basic tourist services. “New Mexico’s Biggest City Moves to a Mellow Mood”, in the mind of one reviewer, but another points out she is “Disappointed in Downtown Albuquerque” because, among other reasons, the downtown is desolate once the sun sets in the sky. Old Town is interesting, but the overall feelings about Albuquerque place it in the lukewarm category for Vacation Destinations in the United States.

Indian and Mexican culture, great food, lots of art, professional sports, the world-famous Balloon Fiesta, gorgeous adobe architecture, and a tramway that goes to the top of the mountain are just a few of the reasons to book your trip to New Mexico's fun capital.

You may find yourself there anyway, since it sits at the junction of I-40 and I-25, a crossroads that is difficult to avoid if driving east-west or north-south through New Mexico. What to do?
Old Town is worth your time. It's quaint, if dominated by souvenir shops, native art shops and funky stores. That said, if native... read full review »
The Hyatt was great, but the surrounding area kinda sucked at night, since nothing was open late and I was told its kinda dangerous around there.
Also stayed at the Hilton on a cheaper rate. Was not impressed at all, other than the nice pool and spa which was one redeeming quality. Expensive restaurant and nothing special. And oh yeah, the world's hardest bed. Not recommended.
