Super 8 Motel Albuquerque East

About what you would expect for this price. Decent room, kinda small. AC barely worked, window screen torn, found a cockroach when unpacking

Cory was great and very helpful. Restaurants and stores in walking distance. Just off highway 40. The building is older, but our room was very clean, no smoke or «cheap motel» odors, very nice breakfast. A at a great rate! We will definitely stay here again!

Booked online. Called to notify them of late arrival. Lady who answer couldn’t understand me. She kept asking my name over and over. Arrived tired and was looking forward to a hot shower. Had to call front Desk because the toilet kept running it was a waste of water and really annoying sound. It took them forever to get there, so finally just fixed it myself. Shower looked nasty because of a constant leak and lack of cleaning. Turned on the water and there was no pressure. In addition, there was a roach in my room. Have the picture to prove it! This place is nasty!!! Stay somewhere else if you want a comfortable stay. Disappointed.

The most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The walls are filthy, there were used tissues on the floor behind the door when we walked in, hair, dirt, blood and scabs on and in bedding. Asked to have them replaced only to be given more disgusting blankets. The air conditioning unit in our room was disgusting. The filter had probably never been cleaned. There was long black hair all throughout the room. Bathroom floor was gross as hell. I used a rag of theirs to clean it up. The rest of the floor was sooo gross it turned our feet black after walking on it for only a short time. Room also had a horrid stench to it. Oh yeah, there was urine all down the wall in the bathroom.
TV never worked and internet was really slow and would randomly go out.
The a/​c units in the hallways are busted and falling apart, it’s hot as hell in the rest of the building. Our own room was so hot it took a couple hours for it to finally cool down. The front desk guy never told the breakfast times and missed that. The lady had everything cleaned up AT 9 on the dot.
The fire exit door thatvwe would need to take in case of an emergency was busted so we would be fucked if something did happen.
I complained to the front desk guy and he did nothing to compensate for the hellish crap we had to deal with.
Just do not stay here! Motel 6 is right up the road. There is no way it could be any worse than this!

Not at all what we expected from the advertisement we saw before booking. Molding in bathroom was coming off the wall. Could not get extra pillows or blankets. The area around the hotel was very run down with a lot of shady characters walking around. Did not feel safe.

THIS COCKROACH JUST CRAWLED OUT OF THE BATHROOM DRAIN! Glad we are only staying one night but this thing was as big as a quarter! Booked a room for two… not three! This nasty thing is not welcome.
Fingers crossed the hand poured waffles are worth the stay.

On a family visit here and booking pulled this as the best deal. Been in town many times but this was closest to the familystuff we had to deal with.
Requested handicapped room but no cigar. The single room for two is very small no usable chairs or table.
King bed has huge depression in the center.
Short of towels pillows blankets etc so the office did bring some over.
Clean but very small. Wifi good. Nonearby restaurants. But about 2 miles lots.
Adequate for the price. Breakfast ok just waffles cereals juices.

For the money you can’t beat it. Pillow top mattress, GREAT FREE breakfast, it’s quite, friendly staff, room clean, off the freeway. GREAT road trip hotel. Total with tax, free breakfast, free Wi-​Fi easy access $ 50. Will stay again.

This place doesn’t meet any acceptable cleanliness or security standards. The front desk receptionist was less than thrilled to help check me in for the night. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of an unpleasant stay. Of course the first thing I do is check out the cleanliness of a room. First thing I noticed was a 3inch black hair on the sink counter. Next I checked out the shower. The tub looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in months! There was what looked like black mold around the drain and up on the edges of the tub. Needless to say I wore my flip flops in the shower as well and out on the carpet. Who knows how dirty the carpet was. I was not looking forward to pulling the bed sheets back… but to my surprise the sheets and pillow cases were perfectly white.
I was a bit sketchy about the security of my vehicle in the parking lot. Most parking is behind the building and to the sides. Lighting was pretty much Jon existent unless you were able to park in the 4 spaces right next to the front door.

** Stayed 08/​07/​2014**
This place is AWESOME.
Ok, maybe some of you won’t think so, but this is GREAT for the price.
Room smelled NICE, was clean and the bed is ABSOLUTELY LOVELY (simmons beautyrest, YES looked at the tag to see where miracle mattress came from.)
The clerk was nice, place was pretty quiet, except for the random door slam every now and then fron the people about 4 doors down.
They have free wifi, you dont need to «log in» just turn on wifi and thats it!
Free breakfast in the morning.
This place is CLEAN, COMFY AND WELL PRICED!

Not too bad. I’ve stayed here with girlfriend a few times going through Albuquerque. The staff/​service is nice, accommodating in my opinion — I had to ask for some plastic forks, request filled instantly -, and rates are cheap (seems to be about $ 52, weekends included). Oh yeah, it was funny that the AC unit in our room had its façade smashed and practically lying on the floor, but it worked OK.
Overall this Super8 is more convenient than sketchy to me, haven’t seen any bugs or true dirtiness, so I’m going to keep going back ^_​_​^

It was cheap. It definitely needed some work, from the very moment when me and my friend saw the front door to the motel was damaged we knew this was going to be real exciting. We booked a hotel reservation from
so there was no turning back at this point, we noticed upon entry into the motel that there was no one around, almost like a ghost town. We had to call for service but the guy who came to the desk was extremely friendly and professional so at least it has that going for it.
We paid and got our door cards and went to the room, the whole journey to the third floor was like being in the movie The Shining or something. It was quiet… too quiet. The elevator took a long time to move a whole 3 floors and the third floor had an aroma of recently smoked cigarettes even though all the doors said «No Smoking», we got to our room and noticed a motel employee and another guest arguing about how his door wouldn’t lock when he left the room (this was very concerning since we had a lot of electronic devices with us and planned to leave them in the room).
Inside the room it looked like your typical motel setup — two giant queen beds, pretended to be clean (wasn’t that bad honestly) and crooked pictures on the wall. We got comfortable for a few minutes and I decided I would try and watch some TV but to my surprise it didn’t work… stuck on the wrong channel and only the master controller could switch the channel so I had to call the front desk to help me out (he came up and helped very quickly). The quality of the TV was acceptable, looked new but cheap and wasn’t exactly stunning HD quality like the advertisements were in the front of the motel. They did however have several Starz channels which was nice.
The bathroom was missing one light bulb so spending any time in there was kind of sketchy. The shower water was mild at best in terms of temperature (was never hot from the start). Surprisingly the internet was probably the best feature of the entire motel, it was pretty fast. The last thing would be the «Free breakfast» that was pitched to us online which was nowhere near an actual breakfast because it consisted of apple juice/​coffee — make your own waffles and a couple yogurt things. That’s it. Very cheap. If cheap is what you’re looking for then you have come to the right place but don’t expect 5-​star or even 3-​star quality.
Good for the price.

Heed the warnings — this hotel doesn’t even meet basic cleanliness standards at ANY rate.
We did an 8 day roadtrip across the US staying at all budget hotels — we’ve always had a great stay at Super 8’s and were horrified by what we discovered at this hotel. It was our 2^nd stay of the trip and almost scared us away from all other budget hotels (I’m happy to report that this was the ONLY hotel we ran into these issues at even though the others were just as cheap)
I can overlook all of the stained carpet, weird smells, crumbling walls & rips in the sheets. I even overlooked the disgusting toilet. I wanted to overlook the long black hair we found on our pillow (and our friend in another room found a similar long black hair on his bath towel) but here’s what I can’t overlook.
THE HUGE ROACH CRAWLING ON OUR WALL
The lights went out, the TV was on and BAM. Roach. And not a little roach. A huge effing roach. Add that all up and it’s clear that this hotel is just plain dirty. I’d rather sleep in my car than stay at this hotel.
I will say that they were gracious enough to refund our money — though we were the ones who had to repack our bags and drive around town finding a new hotel in the middle of the night.

Rude staff. I’ll repaired building. Trashy rooms. There are a lot of cheap hotels in albuquerque. Most are nicer than this one. The outside doors don’t open with my room key. Plan on walking from you car all the way around the building to the front door. This is not fun with small children. One of the outside doors has the doorknob hanging off the door. The inside of the room is in worse shape than outside. The smoke detector is hanging off the wall. No idea if it works. The coffe pot was so dirty. I don’t think it’s ever been cleaned. Cig burns on the carpet and coffee maker. Furniture in the room is old and broken. The bed was comfortable. That’s the only good point. The staff was rude in unbelievable ways.

Made reservation through
. Showed up, was told we couldn’t use that reservation even though it was for the same room we reserved. They asked me to call
to cancel my reservation that I already paid for (now twice). I could explain more, but it seemed a little fishy. Had a smoking room because that’s what was left when we made the reservation. Was told it wouldn’t smell because «nobody ever smokes in there anyway».
Look, I don’t always need a 4 star suite, but this place is a dump. Easy to tell the owners put as little as possible back into the business. Got to the room, toilet wasn’t clean. See photos. Tv didn’t work. 2 really old pillows that badly needed replacement years ago along with decades old bedding, dirty and patched carpet and vinyl tile in bath peeling up from water damage. Room smelled like that’s where they dump the ashtrays from every smoking room. I have been around smokers and I haven’t smelled something that bad. Ice machine was broken and apparently has been for a long time. Skipped the continental breakfast.

Hallways and elevator were hot. Room was sweltering and took hours to cool down. A dirty washcloth was on a chair when we entered. The ice bucket was filthy, at least there was a plastic liner for it. The sheets were old and the fitted sheet would not stay on the bed, making for a constant tug of war to try and not end up on the mattress. The blanket looked old and dirty. Breakfast provided was cereal and a few muffins or bread to make toast. No protein in any form. Would not stay there again.

We walked into our room and smiled. The room not only looked clean, it smelled clean – no smoke or pet residue. The bathroom was spotless. No amenities other than soap and shampoo (but that’s ok, I know how to pack). This is the perfect place for a protracted stay on a tight budget. Now that we have family in town, we’ll be returning to this hotel often.

Not a bad place at all. Cheap and clean. Can’t beat that. After spending a horrible weekend in San Antonio, this was a breath of fresh air. Spending so little and getting so much is really nice. I am a little nervous of other peoples comments about theft, but hopefully this will not happen. Might not be the best neighborhood, but again, it is cheap and clean.

For some reason my review of this hotel is no longer listed. I don’t know why it is not here anymore. So I will write it again. DO NOT STAY HERE. Long story short. Car broken into on lot, no help from hotel staff, did not care and wanted to shuffle us out as fast as possible. It is unsafe to park a car here or god forbid go outside at night.
If you choose to stay here, do it at your own risk. Be careful.
Also, dealing with the aftermath is almost more of a headache. No one calls you back from the hotel or wants to deal with you.
