Top hotels in Sandia Heights
The Querque Hotel
Hotel is quite dated and felt old but seemed clean and was comfortable enough. It’s located in a more run down area of town right next to a freeway. They did seem to have a security patrol at night in the parking lot which was a plus. Okay for a one night stay especially for the price point.

Charged us for linens as they said they were stained. Charged us $313 for 1 towel, 5 sheets and 3 covers? Never staying here again.
