    ideal location
    exceptional hospitality
    limited dining options
    crowded courtyard
    noise issues

    The location was ideal, allowing us to explore the nearby botanical gardens easily, and other attractions were just a short drive away. The comfort of the bed made for restful nights, and both Nate and Pauline from the staff provided exceptional hospitality. However, I did notice limited dining options on-site and the courtyard could get crowded at peak times, which somewhat detracted from the experience. Nonetheless, the unique charm of the place and the excellent water pressure in the shower added to its appeal.

    I loved the charming decor and vibrant outdoor spaces, truly making me feel at home while soaking up the New Mexico sun. The accessibility features were well thought out and welcoming for seniors.

    A mini-fridge in the room would be nice.

    rough area

    The El Vado offered a stylish and welcoming atmosphere, making it a fun place to unwind with live music nearby. The beds were quite comfy, and the food options were varied and delicious. However, parking was a challenge, and the area felt a bit rough at times.

    unique motel
    great food

    I recommend it for families seeking a unique experience

    So my family stayed at this totally awesome place for two nights. The pool was, like, super nice even if I didn’t get to use it much with the kid’s accident. They had this interesting little tap room right there where I could grab a drink while the others enjoyed tasty food from these cool food pods.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but totally worth it.

    great spot for discovering parks and local attractions

    I loved staying at this place because it's just a short walk to the Albuquerque Biological Park and right across the street from the aquarium, so I was able to enjoy both without needing a car. the clean and quaint adobe style was really charming and made my trip super enjoyable.

    I loved the charming decor and vibrant outdoor spaces. The saltwater pool was perfect for cooling off, and I spent hours lounging on the sun terrace soaking in those warm New Mexico rays. The location was ideal, with tasty breakfast options just steps away that fueled my adventure!

    Charming Stay with Quirky Ambiance

    Our one-night stay was memorable thanks to the boutique feel and cool local vibe. Strolling through the courtyard was lovely, and the attached restaurant offered unique dishes we truly enjoyed. Future guests should definitely check out the locally inspired breakfast options!
