You are a mgmt sympathizer. ABQ has better quality hotels that are closer to the airport and with better food options than your beloved Dion's. GuestHouse Suites is a complete joke. Linens and towels are from the 80's along with their soaps and shampoo. ELP has a Wyndam and a Marriott that are just as close and the Marriott has numerous restaurants nearby. Quit trying to justify and settle for these sub standard hotels. I'm not asking for a Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons. Clean, safe and a decent brand is all I want.
