Food and Drink Options

Nightlife Options

You’re a short drive or ride share from Albuquerque’s buzzing bar and live music scene. Prefer to stay in? Wind down in the indoor hot tub or catch up on cable TV in your room.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit dated in decor, and the grab-and-go breakfast is more basic than bountiful. If you're looking for luxury or gourmet dining, this might not be your spot—but for concert nights, it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

Hotel 505 is a practical, comfortable choice for concert-goers who want a convenient, quiet, and affordable stay near Albuquerque’s best venues.
