We stayed at Hotel 505 for a night on our way back to Dallas with our two kids, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The bathroom had stains on the sink and tub, and there was a strong cigarette smell in the restroom, which was unpleasant. The TV in our room wasn’t working, and the parking spaces were way too tight, making it difficult to park. On top of that, it was hard to get a good night’s sleep due to constant siren noise and loud vehicles passing by throughout the night. The overall condition of the hotel was not great. I really hope management makes some improvements because this place has potential, but as of now, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Planned a trip to Albuquerque with my child and noticed all the great reviews about this property. I’m not sure if people are really being honest. The check in was a bit of a wait because several children were waiting to pick up towels in front of us. Yes, towels are not available in the pool area. You must pick up towels at the front desk, which is at the other end of the building front the pool. My room was clean enough, however I noticed that the prior occupants towel was hung on the back of the door. We decided to go to the pool on the first night. We waited over 15 minutes to get towels at the front desk. Only one person helping customers. The pool area was not too clean. Muddy wet floors and not enough seating for all guests. Guests were drinking bottled beer and not watching their children. In the 2 hours we were there, no one came by to attend the area. At 5:00 am in the morning, I was awoken by a blood curdling scream and shot up to go look outside. Another scream and people outside moving about. The next day I put a do not disturb sign on the door because we didn’t need cleaning. I guess the sign means nothing. housekeeping entered the room to bring new towels and empty the garbage. Our second night we went to the pool. The ladder was now broken and my son could not exit the pool on his own. I would not recommend this hotel for families or single parents with children. It did not feel safe and the staff were not friendly. Still waiting to receive our deposit back.

Not worth the money

The hotel is listed as non-smoking but the elevator and the hallway had a strong odor of marijuana. The room was very dated and had tracks for closet doors, but no doors. The sliding glass door for the balcony did not have weather stripping around it which let in lots of noise from the outside. The sheer curtain on the glass door was torn in several places. The photos show worn spots on the dresser/tv stand and wall.

This place really went downhill. It used to be a very nice property to stay at but apparently they have a homeless population living in the rooms, the walls were dirty, the ceiling was dusty, the room looked like it wasn’t cleaned properly and the ac unit could use an upgrade cause the vents had broken pieces. It was a cheaper option but I guess u get what u pay for. Also, they charge 100 dollars for security deposit, more than the room was worth. When asked to switch rooms we were declined.. service was not great.. will not be staying again.
