The business- and family-friendly Staybridge Suites Albuquerque North nicely fits into the expectations of a mid-range chain hotel, with a few extra perks. The free Wi-Fi, spacious and clean rooms, guest laundry, free breakfast, and large kitchenettes are all nice amenities -- especially for extended stays. The fitness center is open 24 hours, and there's a nice picnic and BBQ grilling area out back. The market is handy for grabbing snacks, and the free evening appetizers (three days a week) is a nice addition. However, the nearby Holiday Inn Express Suites offers nearly the same amenities and nicer rooms at a lower price point.

Scene
Heated pool, free breakfast, courtyard with BBQ grill
There’s nothing either extraordinary or bad about the Staybridge Suites -- the decor is nondescript, the amenities compare favorably to other chain hotels, and the rooms are spacious and clean with kitchenettes for those looking to cook their own meals. Just off the small lobby sits the breakfast room and a comfortable sitting area, where a gas fireplace is a cozy place to relax. In the small courtyard out back, there’s a putting green with artificial turf, several benches, and a BBQ grill with a picnic table. A heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi make it easy to swim any time of year, but on a summer afternoon it can get uncomfortably hot in the room.
