Awesome Motor Inn in ABQ
I was my second time staying here. I love to Retro style, lattes in the office and restaurants on site. Was bummed to find out the restaurants are not open on Sunday nights. I guess I'll need to come back again so I can check them out.

Awesome boutique hotel!
Wonderful boutique hotel! Remodeled and modern with a flashback to the 50’s twist. Comfortable foam mattress, nice bathroom, well use of space, large flat screen TV with DirectTV. Great location, free WiFi and parking, with restaurants, gym, and laundry on property. We’ll be back!!!

4/10 Fair

The Heat was on at the Imperial
We were on are way back home and decided to stay over one night in Albuquerque New Mexico.The Imperial had excellent reviews we booked a king room there because of the reviews, location and retro vibe. It's a vintage mid century motel that has been completely renovated.The room was well maintained and clean. I liked the reading lamps on the sides of the bed.They made it possible for one person to sleep white other could read in the bed without disturbing each other, nice touch.The king bed didn't have electrical outlets on both sides of the bed , our medical devices couldn't be plugged in.The room reminded me of a lower budget HGTV renovation The wall HVAC was under the front window, it was set at 71 degrees and ran on and off all night long.It was extremely noisy, blew hot and cold air on the bed was rather unpleasant.. We arrived around 8:30 in the evening after 10 hours of driving. Another group of guests arrived after us and were placed in the room next to ours.They left their car's motor running for hours.I complained to the front desk about the running vehicle. They wouldn't do anything about it I felt unsafe staying there.Security was lacking, management wasn't available to handle the situation.The front desk person wasn't helpful or kind.My experience at the Imperial wasn't enjoyable or positive.I have no desire to return.

6/10 Good

Nice rooms, terrible front desk
I liked the hotel room itself. Nothing fancy but updated and clean and comfortable. I feel like I’m being very generous with my rating because the front desk service was unbelievably bad. About an hour after I checked in, I was half asleep, watching tv after a long drive. All of the sudden another guest walked into my room. She screamed and immediately shut the door and I heard her say “there’s someone already in our room!” I was startled of course, and 2 minutes later there was an angry knock on the door. It was a woman from the front desk and she started interrogating me. I gave her my info and she was just like, ok thanks. No apology, nothing indicating that they cared about what happened to me. So I just said I’d appreciate it if they could make sure it doesn’t happen again. A few minutes later I got a call. It was the front desk and I figured they might apologize for the mix up but no, more interrogation. After giving my info again I said all I did was take the room they had just assigned me. I was obviously frustrated by now but the front desk rep just insisted it wasn’t their fault. It felt as though they blamed me for their mix up. It didn’t have to be a big deal, things happen, but they did nothing but imply that I was to blame. I don’t get it. I did nothing wrong. I liked the hotel itself and would consider staying again if not for this bizarre treatment.

Great place to stay!
The Imperial was a very nice motel. It was clean, friendly, the bed very comfortable, great bathtub, refrigerator, tv many choices and the room was good size. We plan on coming back next year.

2/10 Poor

For real?
The TVs in the room didn’t work. The bed was rock solid. We went to the front to see if they could possible fix one of the TVs and they told us “no, that’s the biggest complain here; TVs and WiFi don’t work”…

Great stay, very happy
What a great little gem! Room was clean, had everything we needed. We didn’t have a chance to try the food hall or bar, but the fact that it’s there right on the property was awesome. We did have a coffee at the little coffee shop and it was very nice. We’d be happy to return again for another stay. It’s also close to so many different places to eat and was near downtown.

What a gem of a property! My room was charming and spotless. Pleasant lighting, lovely towels and amenities. There is a little gym with a bottle filler, ice maker, and complimentary laundry facilities on the property. All the conveniences. The only downside is the surrounding area. It’s relatively quiet with limited food options within walking distance. I ventured out for a walk and it was dodgy. I was advised by the pub staff to Uber back to the motel. Would recommend driving to restaurants for meals.

Very cute, colorful, immaculate, recently renovated rooms. Friendly staff. The café across the driveway was great with hip little food truck style booths and a bar.
