SureStay by Best Western Albuquerque East I-40

Tucked at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, the SureStay by Best Western Albuquerque East I-40, Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a quiet base set back from the main streets yet easily reached, with comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, and restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance. The setting puts the national-forest foothills at the doorstep, with Old Town about ten miles west and the balloon-fiesta park a short drive north. A ski area and a petroglyph monument lie within easy reach.

This eastern edge of Albuquerque climbs toward the granite face of the Sandia Mountains and the pinyon-juniper country of the Cibola National Forest, where a tramway and a ski area rise above the city. Ancient rock carvings at Petroglyph National Monument spread along the west mesa, the foothill trails climb into the Sandias just above, and the shops and adobe plaza of historic Old Town wait across town in the Rio Grande valley.
