There was no parking on premise and you have to pay. There was a literal fight outside while I was checking in with my kids. The park out side the hotel is a homeless encampment. I couldn't wait to leave.

There is no phone in the room to easily connect to the front desk and when you call you can't get through. You can text but then you have to wait. Extremely loud. Noise didn't stop until 5am. Staff is very friendly. Room was beautiful. No street parking available and it took 30 minutes to retrieve my car from valet. No comp breakfast. Had to leave early due to noise, but the did waive the penalty, which was extremely kind. I think it's designed for a younger crowd, not weary travelers. Music in restaurant was also very loud and they are not allowed to adjust the volume. Overall bad experience.

Rooms really good. Building less appealing (urban motel). Pleasant waitress during dining. Bad luck of a very, very noisy neighborhood on the day of my visit. Ear-plugs mandatory!

Nice hotel with large bathroom and comfortable bed. Close access to dining. Our only complaint was the hot rod cars revving their engines extremely loudly and screeching their tires till 1am. Very hard to sleep. I'm not going back. I'm not sure if this is only on the weekend nights.

The minibar selection was just right! the pool was great. the restaurant delicious. The vibe was awesome. highly recommend! Watch out for the sharp corners on the platform beds, though… Lol

They will steal your money

Everything seemed fine but after my stay there was an extra charge on my credit card that I had to call the bank to dispute. They sent a receipt saying it was for the first night's taxes and fees, but it was more than the taxes were supposed to be for three nights total. There was also an overcharge in the restaurant via them changing the tip amount. The location was good, but the parking situation was bad/expensive and then with all the overcharging, I'll never stay there again.

Retro 70s makeover!

When we come to New Mexico we always prefer to stay in Santa Fe, its just so beautiful. We love the high dessert, but if we stay a night in Albuquerque we love Chaco Hotel but this was our first time trying Arrive. I like the retro 70s theme redo. The area is a little sketchy but i do like how its close to farmers market on saturdays. Prefer the santa fe market better but this one is nice. The beds were too soft and gym too small. We had a fine time though and it was a good experience for our first time.

Pros: Nice room. Friendly staff. Good Bed. Everything clean. Awesome market on Saturday across the street. Good food options close by. Cons: No microwave and refrigerator packed with mini bar items. Street outside is Loud. Definitely will need earplugs. There was a lowrider event on a Sunday night that lasted until 1. Was cool to see but very loud. Other nights were very loud as well. Also need to keep your head on a swivel when walking around area.
