For those of you who have been following our cross country move recap, you know that we tried to stay in unique hotels along the way.  Using the Preferred Hotel Group’s Sterling Hotel selection, we found the Nativo Lodge in Albuquerque.  This boutique hotel combines Native American influences with cultural aspects of the Albuquerque area.

As we pulled into the parking lot, we immediately began to notice the unique touches of culture at this hotel.

Check in was smooth and we headed to our room to drop off our stuff and freshen up.  Like many of the other hotels this week, the room was quite spacious.

The bed was super soft and comfortable.  We had a great night’s sleep, which was particularly important with our unexpected sleep in the car the next night

Each room appeared to have a balcony, and a large one at that.

The bathroom had a large counter and sink outside and the requisite toilet and shower on the inside

They had Aveda bath products! I’m a huge Aveda fan I actually immediately put the products in my bag so I could use them at a later time.  Yep, I love Aveda. Unfortunately, we weren’t at the hotel long enough to enjoy any of the amenities, but we enjoyed our stay overall.  For the price and quality, the next time we’re in Albuquerque we will  likely stay here again.
