Need recommendation on a good Hotel/Motel in Albuquerque, NM. We are staying at Las Brisas de Santa Fe the second week in July and need a good hotel/motel for the day before and after our stay in Santa Fe. It will be my wife and I plus our two grandsons, ages 6 and 8. Also, what is there to do in Albuquerque for them? Thanks.
 
I can't really help with the hotel, but several years ago we also had a timeshare trade into Santa Fe and spent some time in Albuquerque.
Check out the Sandia Mountains aerial tramway...great ride and views from the top. In old town Albuquerque the American International Rattlesnake Museum is a lot of fun....I bet the two boys would enjoy it!
 
The nicest place to stay in the Albuquerque area is the Hyatt Tamaya Resort, north of the city itself. It is on an Indian Reservation (lots of open space) along the Rio Grand River. Nice hiking path under very large trees along the river. Can be pricey, but if you qualify, the senior rate is not bad and we usually manage to get a pretty good rate on Priceline.com for guests. Check BiddingForTravel.com for current successful bids.

I second the tram recommendation. Also, there are interesting spots between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, such as Tent Rocks and Golondrinas along I-25 as well as along the "back way" or Turquoise Trail, east of I-25. If you had the time, a visit to Acoma Pueblo west of Albuquerque would be high on my list. If you do drive the Turquoise Trail you would be able to drive to the top of the Sandia Mountains from there rather than, or in addition to, taking the tram to the top.

You could also go to tripadvisor and look at hotels based on location then read the reviews. This is what I do when I'm going to a city I'm not familiar with:

1) click on "hotels" at TA
2) type in your city and dates of travel
3) when your city comes up, click on "see Albuquerque hotels on map" on the right side of the screen.

A map with pins on it will be on most of your screen, with the names of the hotels and their estimated costs on the left. The map only shows you 20 hotels at a time, so click "next" at the bottom when you want to see more.

Hope this helps!
