Hyatt Place Albuquerque Airport
Love this hotel and it was close the Amphitheatre where we saw Peso Pluma. Could work on making sure that the rooms are ready when they should be, because the check-in was at 3PM. However, they had to keep checking to see if our room was ready, but everything was great!
