The price was great. They gave me a toy and dog treats for my dog, and the people at the counter were so helpful and friendly. I really love the soft beds, and the each room is painted by an artist and they have a bio about the artist that painted the room.

This is such a cool hotel with chill vibes for days. The rooms are comfy but not tall if that matters for you and clean. The art and style in our room was curated by a guest artist which was neat and theres a paper giving background info on it if you are interested. The balcony was nice and the shower was waaayy more powerful than expected, but can be turned down if you aren't into fire hose pressure (which I loved) I don't generally hang around the lobby of hotels, but I walked around the lobby for almost an hour checking out the sculptures and relaxing in the lounge chair dog bed things and enjoying the design and architecture.

I love the Nativo Lodge! I have stayed here for a few nights and it's always a great experience, the staff are always very friendly and accommodating. They also offer two free beverages, you can get anything from a soda to a glass of wine. And it's convenient having Garduños downstairs too. And the artist series rooms are a real gem, and it's cool to see the different ones. Overall, this is one of my favorite Albuquerque stays!

First. This place was so beautiful ha. Not to mention the views. The staff was so very helpful and kind bi very much had a blast and would come back. Absolutely. Second. Book directly w the hotel instead of 3rd party bc it comes w 2 free beverages every night of your stay. That includes beer and wine directly from the front desk. Not to mention complimentary snacks/fruit/2 water bottles in the room. Okay. I stayed in an artist room that happened to be Star Wars/Indigenous themed. AND IF ANYTHING WOULD HAVE ME HOOKED HAHA ITS THIS. The art in the room and thought the property was so cool to just take a walk and look at. Including kicking it in the teepee for a bit. The pool/hot tub area was nice, the gym simple but had everything you need for working out on vaca…but idk why you’d do that ha I will say when I got there the sheets weren’t as clean as I’d prefer but I just went and asked and it was changed in 20 mins and I didn’t have another issue in my 3 night stay. Take a look at the photos and I recommend giving the place a try. The restaurant was to my liking but the drinks were great (The Purple Rain Marg was crackkkk) and they had a live musician playing so it was very try much a vibe. Also, they must be pretty popular bc it was full of families and locals attending the bar. NATIVO LODGE is a must stay. If not for the art alone.

Clean, comfortable, and very easy to get to the balloon festivities. Very authentic, creative and vibrant throughout the property. Stayed here and went to the Hoffmantown Church Park and ride. Also accessible for highway to Old Town and tons of restaurants. Had balcony view and fun room artwork. Enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool area.

Front desk staff was so kind, friendly, and helpful. They accommodated all my requests even though we booked online. We stayed in a artist room, which was super fun and unique. We each got a complimentary beer each day we stayed. Every morning (7:30am)we looked out to the west and saw hot air balloons flying! That's my favorite! The bed was comfy. The shower was nice and we enjoyed sitting on our balcony. We enjoyed our stay so much we prebooked another stay for next year! The only complaints is the highway noise outside at night. And I probably will bring a fan next time. There's not a ceiling fan. Those are very minor.

We wanted to see the art in the room. It was very cool. The hotel is a little dated but we experienced good service by the staff and had no complaints. We enjoyed the lodge theme. The rooms felt clean and our room had a one of a kind optimum view. We would stay again.
