Staying at the Albuquerque Grand Airport Hotel has great benefits:

1) You don't have to fight traffic, which in Albuquerque by the airport in the morning can be quite hectic.

2) You don't have to rush to get from another hotel to the Albuquerque Grand Airport Hotel. You can sleep in a few minutes  later and just walk downstairs in time for the morning sessions.

3) Pick up a free copy of USA Today in the lobby on your way to the morning sessions or have it delivered to your room (make request at check in).

3) You don't have to worry about parking, you're already there!

4) When you check out you don't have to leave your luggage in your car. The Albuquerque Grand Airport Hotel has luggage storage 24 hours a day.

5) And the best benefit of all - the Albuquerque Grand Airport Hotel has the most beautiful view of the city and the Sandia Mountains. You don't want to miss these views at night. They are breathtaking!
