For those interested in a unique, historic B&B in Albuquerque, the Brittania & W.E. Mauger Estate might be the perfect choice. The three-story red-brick Queen Anne-style home was built in 1897 and has been excellently maintained and restored -- but contemporary touches such as free Wi-Fi make this a contemporary property, as does its prime location to modern attractions (downtown and the Convention Center are a short walk away). Guests rave about the breakfasts, chocolate chip cookies, and evening appetizers with wine, as well as the personal service and decor -- all homey B&B-style touches that you won't find at larger chain hotels.

Situated on the Sandia Pueblo Indian reservation just north of Albuquerque, this rambling resort is packed with amenities, including a huge casino, large amphitheater, massive pool area, and restaurant. Great views of the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains grace the gorgeous grounds and 18-hole golf course. The Native American art on display throughout the hotel is spectacular, but be prepared for cigarette smoke in the public areas.

The mid-range Hampton Inn Albuquerque-University/Midtown offers inexpensive rooms and a convenient location. This central Albuquerque hotel had a facelift in 2010, giving the big lobby and 131 rooms a modern feel. Convenient freebies include Wi-Fi, parking, and a hot breakfast. There are also some perks on offer such as 32-inch flat-screen TVs, an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, and a fitness center. While there is some space to lounge by the pool, the bland hotel grounds aren't the most pleasant backdrop for swimming and sunbathing.

Gorgeous and hip, this downtown boutique is housed in a historic building with a luxe vibe and eco-friendly focus. Featuring a rooftop bar and a stunning lobby, the Andaluz evokes the feel of a Spanish resort, yet also honors its own history as a New Mexico landmark with extensive Southwestern art throughout. Rooms feature exquisite bedding and high-tech touches, but the hotel lacks the range of amenities expected from upscale brands.

The gorgeous, historic Hotel Parq Central may technically be mid-range, but it looks and feels more like an upscale property. The public spaces and guest rooms feature elegant decor and the free breakfast includes gourmet selections. But this stylish 74-room boutique lacks some of the amenities of a larger, higher-end hotel. There's a rooftop bar with great city views and an extensive collection of railway relics, but a tiny fitness center and no pool (just an outdoor Jacuzzi).

This business-friendly hotel provides almost everything expected from a mid-range chain. The 24-hour cafe, spacious rooms with huge flat-screen TVs, and free shuttle, Wi-Fi, and breakfast all equal good value. However, this property is lacking some amenities -- such as a Jacuzzi, and microwaves in every room -- which are found at the nearby Holiday Inn Express Albuquerque Airport.

Towering above the downtown district, this 20-story chain hotel features clean, contemporary rooms and a convenient location close to shops, restaurants, and the convention center.

Rooms include high-tech amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, but Wi-Fi will cost you.

This 295-room Sheraton high-rise is located in the trendy Uptown district, close to shopping and restaurants. The hotel has contemporary interiors: There's a hip lobby lounge, a spacious business center with big computer monitors, and clean rooms with white bedding and dark wood furniture. Some of the east-facing rooms have excellent views of the mountains. The circular indoor pool and Jacuzzi are appealing, though the Albuquerque Marriott's indoor/outdoor pool is larger and nicer. The daily fee for Wi-Fi and minor wear and tear in the rooms are downsides.
