when my man and I book hotels we always suck it up and get the cheapest. Besides you should be outside exploring all day. The only time we are there is to sleep and shower.
I am glad you were sincere in stating that you "knowing that is was going to be gross" regarding the hotel you booked. I never stay in 2 stars no matter what city I am in. We have 5 diamond hotels here in Albuquerque, I hope you come back and enjoy the other places we have. Thank you for sharing.
I love to call ABQ home. Coming from Michigan...it's so magical. Lots of film/TV work out there. I lost track of how many shows I've been on. It's SO fun and easy to be a part of, especially with Netflix Studios there. I'm shocked you didn't do a drive-by!
You can also look on the back of paintings and wall hangings that have paper on them people used to hide money in there I found silver coins before, you can just shake the painting or feel with your fingers
Albuquerque New Mexico is good to live there but the weather here is weard it’s usually hot but cold,windy,foggy,and snow does not bother me from being happy.
During the War effort back in England , the milk man collected bottles of urine that were left outside the doorways of homes , flats for production of propellant.
I love New Mexico, to visit. I doubt I would want to live there full time. It is a place where you need to watch your back. Getting an affordable hotel in Albuquerque during balloon week is a challenge. My wife and I usually stay in Belen or even Socorro and drive in to see the balloons. One year we even stayed in Los Alamos. We stayed there recently so we could watch the movie Oppenheimer to experience where the atom bomb was really developed.
Lol In 1995 I had a roach the size of my largest finger in a hotel room in southern China. It was so big I could see its eyes following me as I tried to encircle it. It was quite big. And very fast. Too fast for me.
How is the balloon fiesta infamous 🤣🤣 everybody from around the world wants to come here. Don’t rent a 2 star motel get an airbnb or something. Don’t be cheap. Especially when airbnbs anywhere else are overly expensive
There is much to do in the outskirts of Albuquerque. The Jemez Mountain range is a very scenic drive. The Tramway ride to Sandia Peak. Old Town. Sandia Peak drive. To mention a few. Grew up there as a child. Left in 1975. Been ack to visit a few times. I have 3 brothers that are still there.
I have been!! It was on a different trip to Mew Mexico. I made a video :) Carlabad has for ti be one of the most underrated National Parks. So 👏 cool 👏
I’m lucky enough to have family in Albuquerque that have enough room in their house for me and my household to stay. Gotta love hotels living up to their price tag.
You ask a good question. A few days before I was supposed to leave, I was getting a really bad feeling about the Airbnb I originally booked. I did some digging and found some some disturbing stuff. I canceled that Airbnb immediately, and with 2 days to the fiesta there was nothing but that motel was available (that was under $300).
It’s a miracle that you even got the motel at the last minute. I wouldn’t have cancelled the Airbnb at the last minute - - even if I read an allegation that there were spy cameras in the bathroom. I haven’t been in too many road-hotels (…I have a OUTFITTER truck camper). But I have never stayed in a road motel where I didn’t have to hold my nose and stomp on bugs. I’ve always found the CAMPANILE chain in France to be pretty nice. Their property restaurants are well liked, too. I’m going to have to stay at a bunch of road motels when I move myself across country back to Rio Rancho - - because I can’t talk my French lover into following me in the pickup truck and camper behind the U-Haul truck. Geeze! …Note to self: Take plenty of RAID!
Two months ago I rented a room in a Motel in Stanley, TX. The room was DISGUSTING: none of the beds were made, the refrig was FILTHY with things in it, the room was dirty, the trash had not been dumped. Worst of all, no reflection on the motel staff for this one, a huge turd in the toilet. (Who uses the toilet without flushing).
Really amazing videos, do you have any contact info. I would like give you some travel tips in NM and how to actually see what’s really to offer. especially outside the city ,ATV riding ,hidden sites and more . Keep up the great and interesting videos 😊
It happens...we booked a hotel in Praca da Republica in são paulo and, even though I knew it was a "skid row" area, the hotel seemed reasonable...it turned out to be a shithol... plus it was used as a motel by the not so homeless junkies...so we just walked about 200m and stayed in this former decadent 4 star hotel for 1 night...much more money, but it payed off.
Getting a hotel room in Albuquerque during balloon fiesta for cheap is not going to happen unless it is a fleabag motel. Just like any other big city, you need to do your research before you stay in a hotel.
They have a saying in Albuquerque: "Come on vacation, leave on Probation". I have been here for eight years, in an area known as 'The War Zone', I personally haven't had any problems. But I hear gunshots 2 - 3 times a week.
It's something different here. My frame of reference is South Jersey and Albuquerque though, so maybe I'm just fucked from the start. I love Albuquerque though, as much as it sucks the life from me.
Well over a decade ago i used to do security at a bedbug invested shithole on east side, central ave, near waffle house. Some of you know which one. Never ending you.got.to.be.kidding.mes. we found a few dead bodies over two years, usually repainted the rooms to get rid of the stench. I've seen shooting galleries popped up on a friday night, steady line of addicts and johns, cops were there multiple times a day. We threw out the trash 8am every morning. A lot of violence.
Yeah, I don’t think she ever said that Albuquerque was _bad_ (..of course, by then I was starting to question her judgment if not her sanity). Duke City is not _bad_, it is just …challenging.
This is what you get for booking a 2 star hotel in the first place 🤣. Like what did you expect .? Lmaoo . Second of all , Albuquerque is beautiful. Lots of beautiful scenery and historic places to visit. Like any other city , there’s always the bad and good side. You just have to be very smart about it. I’m from New York , and trust me, NY is not what you expect. Very ghetto and dirty. Lots of crime. Definitely not what you expect from NYC. You have to be smart when traveling & choosing a place to stay. I’ve learned the hard way when I visited Florida.
Actually, I realize, now, that the only reason I opened your video was that you appeared to be crying in the cover of your video. I don’t think you actually cried. But I think you made the best of a difficult situation (...I mean, you ‘were’ in Albuquerque).
I forgot to mention, my son found $100 in a magic trick “toy”…a real $100 bill. My son was like 7 at the time too:) he asked his dad if he can buy it for him and when they got to the car, my son took it out and told his dad he had $100 bill. Well, his dad finally looked at it, took it to a bank to confirm, and yes it was legit😅
Old Town is about the only safe place worth visiting in Abq. THE most dangerous city I ever lived in! Seriously, it's all the War Zone now. I could tell some tales, but bottom line....I will never set foot in that place ever again as long as I live. You learn when your luck is up, and any single day or night there could end your life or a loved one's. It isn't worth it for green chili and good art, not by a long shot.
BS! I lived in ABQ for 11 years and NEVER ran into any crime or situations that you wrote about - yes I’ve been all over the city and ABQ’s rough parts are NOTHING like the ghettos of East coast cities, CA, or Southern US when I lived there. There are more PhDs in NM than in any other state and the scientific community could give MIT, Princeton Harvard and other prestigious organizations of higher learning a run for their monies. NM food is unchallenged and it’s scenic beauty + weather is unbeatable. To each his/her own
Albuquerque has so many wonderful things to see. It’s can’t believe you bought plane tickets and paid for a rental car to spend time in a thrift store looking for spare change. What a waste!
It's women like this that make me sooooo happy and lucky to be married to my wife. And sooo lucky to live in Albuquerque. With any luck, maybe she won't come back.
Don't go to the 'Americana' in Flagstaff, AZ, either. No bugs, but horrible. No, really, think lawn chair padding for a mattress, filthy sheets, black and white, 1960's reruns on a 40 year old, grainy pictured, box tv. Not charming in any way, contrary to advertising.
Oh! Wow! I just looked at your channel and realized _you_ are probably Canadian. (…Although, you don’t seem to _speak_ Canadian. I think you said “out” and that sounded ‘American’. Also, you said “Li-berry” a couple of times - - that’s very ‘American’.) But, if you are Canadian, that explains why you were traveling _alone_. (…somebody has to stay in Canada to turn out the lights - - shrug).
Oh, a “Li-berry” is a ‘room full of books’ for those of you that were wondering. …Are there _any_ li-berries in Albuquerque? …I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered one, there.
I guess I should have explained: When I was young - - back before the civil war, I quickly realized, when I first lived in Europe, that when you saw a ‘North American’ person walking around alone - - they were Canadian. You could just casually sidle up to them and whisper, “…you’re Canadian aren’t you?” I’ve even done this in the lower 48. …It freaks them out. I always travelled alone or hooked up with a European (…preferably the prettiest French girl I could find). American-Americans always traveled in small armies, in those days. I didn’t want to find myself in one of those bubbles.
Oh thank you. I didn’t on this trip. But I did on my big road trip across the US. I stopped briefly in Santa Fe and visited meow wolf. Hahah. It snowed when I was there so didn’t explore much.
@@TravelWithTats You're quite welcome. :) Santa Fe is a potential on where I will move to in spring/early summer. My heart is really in the PNW though and I'm aiming for OR, possibly WA north of Seattle. You have so many vids! So much travel! I imagine that you yearn to stop here and there to press the reset button on you?
Albuquerque is nice but you have to know what you are doing to include contingencies. Best if you know someone that lives here to give you the scoop beyond tourist advertising and marketing.
I live a few hours north of Abq, the most disgusting city in the US.. the best part of New Mexico is the unpopulated areas. It really is a beautiful State. Just not Abq...😉 I'm happy you had a good time!
Thank you!!!! As a person that travels for work purposes, I thought I was the only one that pulled back the sheets to check for bedbugs. By the way, any hotel can and will have bedbugs. They are like a communal affliction.
Abq hotels are gross. I live in ABQ. Its gross here. Alot of roaches here. When i travel to Boone, NC where my son lives the hospitality is amazing compared to my hometown of Abq.
Whadya mean?!?!? …People are polite in Albuquerque! (…Of course, …maybe that’s because everybody has a gun on their hip?) At least _everybody_ is polite to _me_ (SIG P365).
I cried when the man was singing..how beautiful to be right where your heart is🥲❤️🥰🙏
Ah. I’m so glad someone else can appreciate that song. It’s an original of his. And I love it soooo much. He has yet to release it on any platform.

Thrift shop employees pre-check the pockets. So you wasted a lot of time.

Nah in ABQ you over pay for trash. Texas has much better and more affordable motels
Thank you for going to old town, it really is important for us
I feel like the thrift store workers go through the pockets before placing the items out for sale. Probably a good way to supplement their income.
I don’t blame them at all. I know I would if I worked there
@@TravelWithTats I agree. Maybe the library is not such a bad choice at all.

Can you say the name of this motel so i can avoid ti? Thank you
Well she's on Menaul and Carlisle, menaul doesn't get nice until Louisiana by the mall and up
Getting a decent hotel in ABQ at a decent rate during Balloon Fiesta really isn't possible unless you book a year in advance.
What do u do for work sound interesting
Only reason I went there was for Mr. Whites house.
Go Heisenberg!
Albuquerque New Mexico is good to live there but the weather here is weard it’s usually hot but cold,windy,foggy,and snow does not bother me from being happy.
That wonderful!!
the walmart parking lot is prob cleaner then that hotel
When I was driving through Albuquerque in my van earlier that year I stayed in one. And yes, it was nice 🤣
You should try visiting 308 Negra Arroyo Lane. Amazing place.
Don't. The lady who lives there doesn't like visitors.

Nope.
Have u heard of David Parker ray

Nice to see and hear what's life looks like in this part of US. Thanks for video. Best wishes from Serbia/Europe.
Thanks for watching!
We have Savers thrift store in New York.
You thought you would find money just laying around in New Mexico?? Lolllllll
(…It’s not the poorest state in the Union for no reason.)
That's what I was thinking , but you won't find any of you don't look , right?
I recommend Las Cruces, Albuquerque only had a couple decades of prosperity the 40s and till the mid 60s. Then it went downhill again.
So Las Cruces still waiting it's best times.
Hey you did pretty good,no bullet holes, didn't get robbed or solicited👍Im from New Mexico,and as beautiful as it is here,its become disgusting 🙄

And with a rental, you don't have to worry about your car being stolen!
I was going to say during the Old Town footage that Old Town used to be a lot better. I guess COVID policies really crushed Albuquerque.
You might consider getting a metal detector and check around parking meters
Never go during Ballon fiesta hotel cost are triple

I live a few hours north of Abq, the most disgusting city in the US.. the best part of New Mexico is the unpopulated areas. It really is a beautiful State. Just not Abq...😉 I'm happy you had a good time!
New Mexico is sooooo underrated. I absolutely love it.
So we are worse then Philadelphia? Houston? Have u ever heard of Kensington av 🤣🤣 cmon now
@@Motionboyz_nm yeah we actually are check the statics those places are huge compared to Albuquerque
@@Motionboyz_nmjust as bad as Kensington lol
you obvi never been to SF, LA, Oakland or Sacramento. Albuquerque is peaceful, pretty, clean and affordable next to any of those.
I’ve always wanted to checkout hot air balloons. They look so peaceful guiding in the sky.
They really are. The experience in person cannot be replicated. They Absolutely mesmerizing
7 days only for the fiesta but we have balloons flying almost year round anytime the air temp accommodates.
Abq is a cess pool. I know. I lived there long enough. The only place worse is Santa Fe. A tourist economy is destined to be disgusting.
Why not name the hotel? You want other people to have the same experience you did? People leave bad reviews for hotels all the time.
Oh! Really! They are are ALL the same!

I’m going to guess you are a Libra but you might be a Scorpio, too.
Thank you!!!! As a person that travels for work purposes, I thought I was the only one that pulled back the sheets to check for bedbugs. By the way, any hotel can and will have bedbugs. They are like a communal affliction.
Honestly, new mexico is great... as long as its not Albuquerque.
I live here and moved from Sacramento. Every city his bad places. Just have to be smart and think ahead
The center for Nuclear Science and technology is awesome Stayed for a week 3hr drive to Roswell NewMexico awesome
Abq hotels are gross. I live in ABQ. Its gross here. Alot of roaches here. When i travel to Boone, NC where my son lives the hospitality is amazing compared to my hometown of Abq.
hotel chaco was amazing. you need to upgrade.
😆
So true, that’s why I live in the Sandia mountains now because on Kirtland AFB there were roaches found 3 times in four days and many other problems.
@@MsQ275nah i alway read the reviews. Most complaints i see for abq hotels. 1. Bed bugs. 2. Roaches. 3. Repairs. 4. Unsafe parking lot/theft.
Whadya mean?!?!? …People are polite in Albuquerque! (…Of course, …maybe that’s because everybody has a gun on their hip?) At least _everybody_ is polite to _me_ (SIG P365).
*the famous
Dang Albuquerque aint that bad. Other cities are just as bad too. SMH.
I love Albuquerque. Don’t like hotel rooms that are covered in piss smell.
