Located in Albuquerque's historic Old Town district, this 3-star Albuquerque hotel features the Wild Avocado restaurant serving breakfast and dinner daily, alongside the Cork & Tap bar offering local beers and spirits. Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn provides 58-inch flat-screen TVs with DirectTV in all rooms, plus Keurig coffee makers and mini-refrigerators. The property maintains an outdoor pool that converts to a heated indoor pool from November through March, complemented by a fitness center with Hoist weight machines. Four event spaces totaling 2634 square feet can accommodate up to 150 guests, with a permanent handcrafted bar available for functions. The Best Western features Southwestern-style furniture and artwork by David Schumann throughout the property. Positioned just 14 minutes from Sunport Airport with complimentary shuttle service, the hotel sits within walking distance of galleries, museums, and Old Town attractions.
Pros
Authentic New Mexican atmosphere with local artist works and handcrafted furniture
Heated pool with indoor dome during winter months
Full-service event facilities with permanent bar and custom catering options
Complimentary airport shuttle service from 7am to 10pm daily
Cons

“What struck me about this property, apart from its Southwestern aesthetic, is its dedication to local culture, from the New Mexico artwork adorning the walls to the customizable dining options emphasizing regional cuisine. The location is a true asset, nestled in historic Old Town, within easy walking distance of shops and galleries. I also appreciated the seamless blend of practical amenities and thoughtful touches, like the indoor/outdoor pool and pet-friendly accommodations, making it suitable for both leisure and business.”
