East Albuquerque Hotels

The larger of two Marriott hotels in Albuquerque rises 17 floors above the I-40 corridor on the east side of the city, in the middle of the main shopping area in town - Coronado Center, Park Square and Winrock Mall are all within half a mile. The 411 luxurious, well appointed rooms & suites were renovated in 2009, and most have fine views across Albuquerque towards the distant mountains. The hotel's restaurant is Cielo Sandia, serving American cuisine for breakfast, lunch & dinner; other amenities are a lounge/bar, indoor & outdoor pool, fitness center, full service business center and 16,000 sq ft of meeting/event space.

A few miles southeast of the city center, the 104 room Holiday Inn Express Albuquerque (I-40 Eubank) sits along a short connector road with several other hotels, two blocks north of Interstate 40 (exit 165). The hotel is close to the districts of Buena Ventura, Sandia Vista & Mesa Village, and just across the street from Los Altos Golf Course. For dining there are various restaurants within walking distance along Hotel Avenue, though free hot breakfast is available on site. An indoor pool, fitness center, free internet access, a 24 hour business center and a 550 sq ft meeting room are some of the other amenities.

Quality Inn & Suites Albuquerque is part of a small group of hotels and restaurants on the east side of the city beside I-40 exit 165 (Eubank Blvd), just across the street from Los Altos Park and its adjacent golf course. Rates are low, reflecting the rather old rooms, but the hotel still has a decent range of facilities: an outdoor pool, sundeck, hot tub, a business center and meeting space for up to 200 guests. Free hot breakfast is served. Pets are welcome, for a fee.

The budget-priced Econo Lodge is one of the easternmost hotels in Albuquerque, located beside I-40 exit 157, adjacent to the Four Hills Village shopping center and several other hotels including two Choice Hotels sister properties (Comfort Inn, Rodeway Inn). Accommodation at the adobe style, exterior corridor Econo Lodge comprises 60 mid sized rooms on three floors - comfortable if a little basic - and some containing a refrigerator/microwave. Free continental breakfast, free coffee and a copy/fax service are the only amenities.

One of many budget motels along I-40 in east Albuquerque, the pet friendly Econo Lodge has 97 exterior corridor rooms, an outdoor pool, a hot tub and 1,200 sq ft of meeting space. Free hot breakfast is provided, and for lunch/dinner there are several adjacent restaurants. Also within walking distance, on both sides of the interstate, are a selection of large stores including Wal-Mart, Target and Office Depot. Microwaves and refrigerators are available in some of the rooms.

Comfort Inn East has 122 east or west facing rooms in a suburban area right at the east side of Albuquerque - the edge of town and start of the desert is a mile further east. The hotel is 2 blocks west of exit 167 of interstate 40 along Central Ave (formerly Route 66), and comprises the lobby/restaurant, a tree-lined, outdoor heated pool and the residential block, all surrounded by plenty of parking. Just opposite the hotel, on the far side of Central Ave, is a 10 screen movie theater. A outdoor pool and indoor hot tub are available for relaxation.

The Hilton Garden Inn is an upscale property centrally located in Albuquerque's uptown district, east of the city alongside I-40; in between two of the largest shopping malls in the area (Winrock & Coronado), and close to many businesses including Morgan Stanley & Merrill Lynch. Entrance is via the hotel's large, welcoming lobby, which leads to the bar, restaurant (open for dinner & breakfast), convenience store, business center and meeting rooms. Highlight of the leisure facilities is an indoor pool with 2 storey water slide; also available are a hot tub and fitness center. Accommodation comprises 149 rooms and suites, all featuring a microwave, refrigerator, executive desk, coffee maker and ironing facility.

Conveniently situated near both Coronado Mall and Winrock Mall, Homewood Suites Albuquerque is also within a short walk of many restaurants and other businesses, as well as being easily reached from I-40, via the Louisiana Blvd exit. The large and well regarded hotel has 151 one or two bed suites available (all equipped with a full kitchen), occupying a large, elegant 6 floor building that also contains a business center, meeting space, fitness center and a dining area for the free hot breakfast and free evening receptions (Mon to Thu). Other facilities include an outdoor pool, in the middle of a courtyard garden on the sunny south side of the property.
