Comfy beds!
We had a great stay. The beds were so comfortable - like sleeping in a cloud! The pool was loud but luckily closed fairly early so we could sleep.

Great quick Stay!
Attended a United soccer game and was way to tired to drive back to Santa Fe so I booked a room. A very nice, quirky, throwback style hotel with modern charm. From the awesome Vaket team to the receptionist everyone was greatvto deal with. I may just have to book more staycations with them!

Awesome hotel! the rooms had a vintage theme which was cool, the pool area is nice. If you plan to sleep in i do suggest asking for a room away from the pool area, the music they play in that area starts early

Great stay in ABQ
As a local I wanted to check out this new business. I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very nice. Super clean and the staff is really friendly. Nice pool and lots of food choices from the restaurant. The location is nice. Right in the heart of downtown ABQ. Valet is available for your car and the bed were super cozy!!

Stay on night
I like the Hotel's style 60s is nice. What we loved was the bed super comfortable and the room was clean. What we didn't like is that it didn't like is that there was no microwave and coffee maker. I didn't pay attention to the description bc I focus on the cleaning and comfort.

We have always enjoyed our stays with arrive! We love the staff, rooms, and the atmosphere.
This time around we were placed in a room with carpets that weren’t cleaned.
When asked for a different room they said they were booked which is understandable. We weren’t given any other type of discount or
