Escape to New Mexico: Unwind at Comfort Inn & Suites Edgewood!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the quirky, sometimes messy, and definitely opinionated world of the Comfort Inn & Suites in Edgewood, New Mexico. Forget those sterile, perfectly-polished hotel reviews. I’m serving you the real deal. Let’s get this show on the road!
Escape to New Mexico: Unwind at Comfort Inn & Suites Edgewood! (The Real Deal, I Swear)
So, you're thinking of escaping to New Mexico? Smart move! And the Comfort Inn & Suites in Edgewood? Well, that's where things get interesting. Forget the glossy brochure promises. This is about REAL experiences.
First Impressions (and a Slight Coffee Craving):
Okay, right off the bat, the location is… well, it’s in Edgewood. Let's just say it's not exactly the vibrant, bustling heart of Santa Fe. But hey, that’s the point, right? Escape? Check. Peace and quiet (mostly)? Double-check. The exterior? Clean. Functional. Not going to win any architectural awards, but it’s not exactly a crumbling eyesore either. Inside, the lobby is… perfectly fine. Could definitely have used a coffee machine in the lobby, because by the time I got there, I was dying for a caffeine fix. Note to self: Pack emergency coffee stash next time.
Accessibility: A Thumbs Up, Mostly
Now, this is where things get REALLY important: Accessibility. And I have to say, the Comfort Inn & Suites Edgewood seems to be trying. Elevator? Yes! (Phew! Because, stairs after a long drive… no, thank you.) The website claims facilities for disabled guests, and while I didn't personally use them, I did see ramps, and the layout seemed pretty sensible. The website says they have accessible rooms, so, good on 'em for trying. I’d still recommend calling ahead to verify specifics if accessibility is a must-have.
Getting Your Geek On (Internet & Other Techy Stuff):
Let's talk Internet. Because let’s face it, in this day and age, it's practically essential. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Score! And it actually worked. I was able to get some work done (yes, even in a hotel room, the horror!) and stream a movie without wanting to chuck my laptop out the window. Internet access – LAN is listed, too, which is a nice touch if you're old-school like that. But let's be real, who’s lugging around a LAN cable these days? Internet services appear to be functional. All in all, they seems to get the job done, but nothing special.
The Room: My Little Slice of Refuge
Okay, the room. Drumroll, please… It was…comfortable. Exactly what you'd expect and exactly what you need after a long haul. Air conditioning? Yep, and blessedly effective against the New Mexican sun. Blackout curtains? Absolutely crucial for sleep, and these did the trick. The bed? Surprisingly comfy. I slept like a rock, which is always a win. Coffee/tea maker? Yes! Hurrah! (Though I supplemented it with my emergency coffee supply, just in case). Desk? Check. Decently sized for working on my laptop. Free bottled water? Bonus! Refrigerator? Amazing. Perfect for keeping the leftovers (because, let's be honest, you're going to have leftovers, right?) Bathroom? Clean, functional, and with decent water pressure (another win!). Shower Was, thank god, hot. The TV? Gah. The channels were endless. You got the classics. No complaints. The room was basic, but clean, and for the price point? Honestly, I was happy.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Surprisingly Soothing Thought
In these post-pandemic times, we’re all a little extra concerned about cleanliness, right? Well, the Comfort Inn & Suites in Edgewood seems to be trying. Anti-viral cleaning products? Listed. Daily disinfection in common areas? They claim they’re doing it. Hand sanitizer was readily available. Rooms sanitized between stays? Promising. I can't say I saw them actually sterilizing anything myself, but they say they're on it, and the room felt clean. Staff trained in safety protocol? They appeared to be following protocols. I mean, no complaints there. All good!
Food, Glorious Food (or at Least, Breakfast):
Alright, now for the breakfast. Because, let’s be honest here; breakfast is everything in a hotel. Breakfast [buffet]? Yup. A classic. Think: Buffet in restaurant, Western breakfast, Asian breakfast (with some…interesting…offerings - more on that later), a Coffee/tea in restaurant, and some of the standard stuff. No complaints, but nothing to write home about either. I do have to say, the Breakfast takeaway service was a lifesaver when I had to dash out early. Breakfast in room isn’t a listed option (booo!), but I’d risk asking.
The Other Goodies
- Fitness center: I peeked. Basic, but functional. Treadmill, a couple of weights, and a good place to work up a sweat.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: It had a view—of the parking lot. Haha, I kid. It wasn't bad, but if you're expecting a pool with a dramatic vista, adjust your expectations (but again, the price reflects that).
- Poolside Bar - Not offered, the pool looked a bit sad, but it did had one of the things that the resort had to offer, no matter how small.
Amenities and Services: The Underrated Heroes
The Comfort Inn & Suites in Edgewood offers your basic services, from Daily housekeeping to Laundry service. Cash withdrawal and a convenience store are also on hand.
The Quirks and Quirks-To-Ignore
- The "Happy Hour": Okay, I didn't see a dedicated happy hour. Perhaps it's a secret club you have to be initiated to join. I'll be on a lookout for that.
- The "Shrine": There is one. It's not an actual shrine, but an outdoor area with statues. You’ll see.
- The "Family/child friendly": Well, it's a hotel, so, yes. It has Babysitting service. No kids facilities, which frankly, you probably wouldn’t expect at a Comfort Inn.
- Pets? Unavailable.
Things to Do (Because It's Not Just the Hotel, People!)
This is where things go a bit off on the adventure.
- Things to do: A list is available, and offers some activities.
- Ways to relax: The pool and fitness center is your only choice. Spa/sauna is not available here.
And now for my Stream-of-Consciousness RANT:
Okay, so let me tell you about the breakfast. The Buffet in restaurant. Fine. Standard. But the Asian offerings? Let's just say, they were… adventurous. I’m not entirely sure what I ate, but it was certainly something. I’d say, skip the Asian food. Stick with the safe choices. And the coffee? Again, bring your own. Okay, and the pool. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? It existed. I saw it. It had a view. Of…the parking lot. Look, it’s a Comfort Inn. It wasn't a resort pool with scenic views. But, as I said, I'm not complaining.
The Verdict: Is It a Must-Stay?
No. Not a must-stay. But for the price and location, it's a perfectly acceptable option. Cleanliness and safety are clearly a priority. The rooms are comfy, the Wi-Fi works, the breakfast is… an experience, and the staff are friendly. It's a solid, reliable choice for exploring Edgewood and the surrounding area. Just don’t expect the Ritz. Remember, this isn't a luxury stay. It is a comfortable stay. And that’s perfectly okay.
Do I recommend it? Yeah, I do. At the end of the day, it's a pretty good hotel, and you'll get the rest you need.

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pillow Debacle (and a whole lotta dust)
1:00 PM: Arrived at the Comfort Inn. The lobby? Standard issue. Beige. A faint smell of chlorine and… hope? Check-in was smooth enough, though the woman at the desk seemed a little… detached. Like she was mentally calculating the exact number of hotel rooms she’d cleaned in her lifetime and was just. So. Done. Understandable.
1:30 PM: Room reveal! Okay, so I'd seen worse. The bed looked comfy (key priority), the TV was big enough to get lost in, and the air conditioning was actually kicking. Then came the pillow inspection. Ugh. Let me tell you, I'm a pillow snob of the highest order. These were bricks disguised as pillows. Seriously, I think they were filled with tiny, angry rocks. Tried one, immediately regretted it. My neck, you see, is a delicate flower. I called the front desk, expecting a swift pillow rescue. Nope. "All our pillows are the same, sir." Well, isn't that just fabulous? Decided to fold up one of the spare blankets and pray to the sleep gods. It helped, but only slightly.
2:00 PM: Unpacked. Found a suspicious amount of reddish dust on everything. The wind in New Mexico, I've already learned, is a cruel, beautiful mistress. Everything gets coated in a layer of fine grit. Consider this your heads-up: pack a dust cloth, or resign yourself to embracing a life of perpetual grime.
3:00 PM: Drove around town. This is a small town, folks, and you can tell it's a small town.
6:00 PM: Pizza Delivery. Decided to try the local pizzeria. Delivery time? Surprisingly quick. The pizza?… passable. Let's just say it filled the hole in my stomach. The important thing: TV, pizza, and the sweet, sweet promise of sleep. Now, if only I could find a comfortable place to actually do the sleep.
7:00 PM: Settled with a Pizza and a Movie. I was tired, okay?
Day 2: Albuquerque Adventures and the Spicy Consequences (and a near-death experience with a hatch chile)
8:00 AM: Breakfast at the Comfort Inn. The "free breakfast" looked promising, but quickly turned into a buffet of lukewarm eggs, rubbery sausage, and pre-packaged pastries. Okay, I'm not judging. I ate it, because, well, it was there. and I was hungry.
9:00 AM: Road trip to Albuquerque! The drive was beautiful. The New Mexico landscape is stark and stunning. The vastness of it all just… hits you. Suddenly, you start feeling small, but in a good way. Like, "Wow, I have so much space to be a small, insignificant human!"
10:00 AM: Arrived in Albuquerque. Explored Old Town. The smell of roasted chiles hung in the air, a siren song to my empty stomach.
12:00 PM: Lunch. This is where things took a turn. I, in my infinite wisdom, decided to be daring and order a "green chile cheeseburger." The menu boasted "authentic New Mexican heat." Okay, fine. I thought. I'm a culinary adventurer. I can handle some heat. Ha! The first bite was delicious. The second? My mouth erupted. My eyes watered. My nose started running. My face turned beet red. I swear, I saw little cartoon flames leaping from my ears. Next time I will take the "mild" option!
1:00 PM: Wandered around the Albuquerque Museum. Tried to browse the exhibits, but honestly, my mouth was still on fire. Ended up chugging water like it was going out of style.
2:00 PM: Spent the rest of the afternoon in a daze, trying to find relief from the chile demon. Finally, ice cream came to the rescue. Thank the heavens for dairy!
6:00 PM: Stumbled back to Edgewood, exhausted and slightly traumatized.
Day 3: Rest, Relaxation (and Reconsidering My Life Choices)
9:00 AM: Woke up and considered the pros and cons of staying in bed all day. Pros: No more dust. No more spicy food. Cons: Well, that would be boring.
10:00 AM: Tried the hotel pool. It was… cleanish. And blessedly empty. Spent an hour splashing around, trying to wash away the lingering memories of the green chile.
11:00 AM: Walked around the hotel. There was a mini-mart inside with snacks and drinks. Good thing I didn't get any snacks.
1:00 PM: Dinner. I found a decent burger again. The spicy aftermath of the chile has subsided.
8:00 PM: I started to plan my next trip.
The Verdict:
The Edgewood Comfort Inn? Perfectly serviceable. The pillows were not my friends, the breakfast was forgettable, and the dust was real. But, hey, it had air conditioning, a bed, and a roof over my head. And that, in the end, is sometimes all you need. New Mexico itself, though? Absolutely worth the trip. The landscape, the food (spiciness aside), the feeling of open space… it's magical. Would I go back to the Comfort Inn? Probably. Would I pack my own pillow next time? You bet your sweet bippy I would. And maybe, just maybe, I'll stick to mild. And maybe, just maybe, I'll learn how to handle a little bit of dust. Maybe.
