If I ever had to stay in Albuquerque again I'd probably pick Studio 6 even though the wi-fi password is an extra $5.99/2-week stay (Motel 6 has their usual $2.99/day charge for the wi-fi password and most Motel 6's don't discount that even if you pay their weekly rate). I'd pick it because it's up there towards Rio Rancho without being in the price range OF Rio Rancho itself and is the only Studio 6 anywhere near Santa Fe. But that's only because as a public school math teacher I don't want anything to do with APS if at all possible because I don't want to have to try to teach gang-banger riff-raff and try so hard to keep away from living right next to them. I'm not being a "snob," I'm being a WOMAN and no in part of Albuquerque have I ever felt safe so far -- not like Santa Fe or even Gallup.
Anyway - back to my original point. Studio 6 is a Motel 6 chain and as everyone else on this forum recommends, stay with National Chains to be on the safe side. Motel 6 is the cheapest national chain (although I just read about a bedbug infestation in the Roswell location, so being a national chain doesn't guarantee perfection!
)
