"The hotel is immaculate. It looks very recently renovated. The hotel staff is great. The restaurant staff that we interacted with aren't the warmest or most on top of things. I brought my family along on this trip as I was under the impression it was family friendly. The pool area is definitely not geared toward small children. On weekends, they bring a DJ in and the pool has a much more club feel to it. There are no limits on bathing suits in the pool area so your kids may have questions about thong bikinis and gstrings, so be prepared! Great place to go for just adults, but in hindsight, may not be the greatest for young kids."

Garner Hotel Albuquerque Airport by IHG

"Decent stay and would probably stay again depending on prices. There seems to be quite a few good options in the area so we might try a different hotel next time we go through just for comparison. Breakfast was quite good - loved the green chiles that we could add to the scrambled eggs. Adequate options were available. Staff at front desk and breakfast area were very nice and accommodating."
