First time for us.

The room had an amazing view, but the screen door was torn and off the frame. The wallpaper was pealing and there was visible wear on the back of the desk chair. The shower was lovely, as was the restroom and deck. There is ample storage space in the room. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is fantastic. The towels are well laundered with plenty available. The lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body gel provided was pleasant. The pools, hot tubs, and splash pad were excellent. The staff are friendly and take good care of the guests.

Not impressed at all. This resort was way out of the way and not at all comparable to other casinos in Albuquerque. If you like the nightlife or like to get out and do things, don’t stay here.

This is an attractive property surrounded by gorgeous landscape 360 degrees. There is some remarkable bronze statues and display cases full of incredible Native American pottery. Large comfortable lobby for socializing. Signage outside the facility and inside is ‘discreet’ (hard to see) so that could be improved. The desk clerk on our arrival was downcast close to the point of rudeness. The housekeeper on our floor smiled and said hello; she seemed glad to see us and happy in her work. It was a Monday and the restaurant and bar closed before we got back from an event and that was disappointing but perhaps understandable.
