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.

Great for the money!

Liked: The room was super clean and very roomy, the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of towels. The grounds are very well maintained. The location is great with several restaurants nearby.The staff is super. Very friendly and professional. They go over and above with customer service. When we arrived around 8:30 pm we did a quick check-in and immediately left to get dinner. We were gone for a couple of hours. My husband left his credit card at the front desk. The gentleman at the front desk kept an eye out for us to arrive and within a couple of minutes he was at our door to return the card to us. He could have just called our room to let us know to stop by the office and pickup our card if at all, instead he personally walked it over to our door. We will definitely continue to stay at this hotel anytime we are in Albuquerque.

Good enough, but not really...

Liked: Bed was clean and comfortable, which was our main need for 1 night during travelling. The shower had peeling paint on the tub walls, and the curtain rod was broken on one side, left hanging off the shower wall edge precariously. Lots of hot water and good pressure though. Enough clean towels. Dark hairs, that didn’t belong to us, were in corners of the bathroom and a few in the tub. Major downfall for us was a cockroach that scurried under the mini fridge when we first woke up- we vacated quickly after that and did not experience the breakfast. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it needs some attention to detail in the rooms and repair, maybe an exterminator if there are more bugs found, but we slept decently well and continued on our trip unscathed.
