The Spotlight on Sandia Peak Inn a Howard Johnson by Wyndham

Charming Route 66 Stay Near Albuquerque's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets Southwestern charm at Sandia Peak Inn a Howard Johnson by Wyndham, located right off historic Route 66. This budget-friendly motel offers cozy, well-equipped rooms and a warm welcome just a short drive from downtown Albuquerque and top concert venues. With a year-round indoor pool, free WiFi, and free continental breakfast, it's a solid choice for travelers looking for value and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the motel’s easy highway access and its 15-minute drive to Albuquerque International Airport, making late-night arrivals and early departures stress-free. It’s also close to local venues while being tucked far enough away for a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. With free parking and a 24-hour front desk, you won’t have to worry if your show runs late.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends road-tripping through New Mexico
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples looking for a low-key weekend near Old Town
  • Fans needing a quiet crash pad after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want clean, comfy rooms without overspending

Food and Drink Options

The motel serves a complimentary continental breakfast, perfect for post-concert mornings. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location offers easy access to local diners and fast eats along Central Avenue. Many spots stay open late, and food delivery apps work well here for a midnight snack.

Nightlife Options

While the motel itself is mellow, it’s a short drive to downtown Albuquerque’s nightlife, including bars, lounges, and venues hosting everything from indie acts to DJs. If you prefer low-key evenings, the motel’s peaceful vibe and shared balconies or patios offer spots to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness of the rooms, friendly staff, and exceptional value. Reviewers often highlight the retro Route 66 vibe mixed with modern comforts. The indoor pool and free parking are also frequent favorites.

Areas for Improvement

This is a motel-style property, so don’t expect luxury amenities or a swanky lobby bar. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, but most agree it’s clean and functional. You’ll need to drive or rideshare to get to most nightlife spots.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Albuquerque for a concert and want a clean, quiet, and affordable place to rest up after the encore, Sandia Peak Inn a Howard Johnson by Wyndham hits the right note.

Hidden security deposit that is...

Liked: Room was clean
Disliked: That there was a 100 dollar deposit that was not mentioned on booking, so it left us short. I was looking for a hotel that didn't have that. But seems this facility left that out on booking. And the blankets were thin and scratchy and bed was uncomfortable. Just for those 3 things I wont be back and wont recommend them.

Great staff, filthy room

Liked: The staff are very nice and friendly
Disliked: the room was filthy, there were black feet prints in bottom of tub, someone's false eyelash stuck to the floor along with dried up red viscous fluid as well. There were crumbs in every layer of bedding and a chair that was so busted I would have fallen if I didn't feel how rickety it was first. I didn't take pictures because I never unpacked. We arrived close to 730 and we left by 11
