Best Western Airport Albuquerque InnSuites Hotel & Suites
The hotel has all basic functions you should expect. It has a ban 24/7 between the airport and hotel but could not accommodate our party of six at the same time. They did make two trips to make sure we all arrived at the hotel about the same time. It is safe to walk the area around the hotel.
