Courtyard by Marriott Albuquerque

Staff was very friendly and informative. The buildings were also nice. Carpet in the hallways is worn but the rooms are updated with laminate flooring and nice appointments. Didn’t eat in the restaurant but the setting was very nice. Was very quiet on the west side facing away from I-25.

My biggest complaint was the air conditioning unit. Due to the weather the air conditioner was going to have to run on and off all night. However since it didn’t cool well I had to run the fan. The noise on high was intolerable, the noise on low barely less so. Had to do this otherwise every time the compressor would kick on it was cacophonous. Needed the fan to provide some continuous cover. I am a veteran of hotel rooms so this usually solves the problem, but not this time. The fan had a terribly annoying rattle. Thus my sleep was continuously interrupted. I usually look for rooms without ‘wallbanger’ style air conditioners, but in the mid-level range out in the west that can be hard to find. I should have changed rooms but was too tired. Well I paid for that mistake! Also the mattress and pillow were pretty much meh. But expected for this level hotel. Overall would look somewhere else next time.
