Albuquerque is a city in the central region of the state of New Mexico in the United States. It is New Mexico's largest city, but is often overshadowed as a travel destination by Santa Fe 60 miles to the north. Albuquerque is a sprawling desert metropolis with a metropolitan population of nearly 900,000. Aside from Santa Fe, Albuquerque has its own attractions, with pleasant scenery, colorful history, and a spectacular hot-air balloon fiesta in the fall that is one of the country's most heavily attended festivals.

We are conveniently located in East Albuquerque north of Interstate 40 at Exit 166/Juan Tabo Blvd near Kirtland AFB, world famous Sandia National Laboratory, and the majestic Sandia Mountain Range. After a long day of work, traveling, or visiting Sandia Peak and its fantastic Tramway Terminal Come relax and enjoy the value at the Best Value Inn of East Albuquerque.
