The Spaceship Ufo House, is a distinctive landmark known for its futuristic design resembling a flying saucer.

This is an odd and unique attraction. The house does resemble a spaceship or something futuristic…read more It is a peculiar site. It is a 2 bedroom, 3 bath, 3,686 square foot home that was built in 1984 It is an actual house that is currently being lived in, so you cannot go inside and should be respectable of the occupants. You can still get a decent view of the property from the sidewalk and you will find parking right in front of the house on the street. It was the home of artist Bart Prince, who designed it and the accompanying art and not only served as his residence, but his studio too. You will also find some eclectic sculptures scattered around the grounds. This neat little house was sold in 2022 and I have seen it posted as an Air B & B recently. That would be a cool place to stay in, but I am not sure ablout living here, with all of the attention and tourist coming through. This place is a Albuquerque landmark. The abstract metal sculptures that are out front and just behind the fence are as interesting as the house. You will even see a dinosaur. If you are a road tripper, this should definitely be on you to see list if you are in Albuquerque. Anyway, as with most attractions that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, such as the Big Red Arrow, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

I love staying at hostels because you meet the most interesting people and get that comfy home vibe…read morethat you can't get by staying at a manufacture hotel chain. While staying here at the hostel I meet my "twin", this girl who I was sharing a bunk bed with had the same name as me and also the same birthday! We were born 5 years apart and in different countries but with a different last name! Crazy! I love it!! My trip out west took me to ABQ and while searching for hostels this came up and decided to book with them during the balloon fiesta week. Located on historic route 66 this hostel sits between downtown and old town making it a great location close to everything. The famous Dog House restaurant is within walking distance of the hostel and a bus line runs by it as well if you are without a car. They do have parking but it's first come first serve, it is located behind the hostel. Enter through the ally and you will pass the first 2 apartments and then the hostel parking will be visible, only like 6 cars are able to fit but street parking is also available. Upon arrival the staff checked me in and even though they were super busy with visitors trying to book over the phone due to balloon fiesta the staff still welcomed me with friendliness and a big smile. I stayed a total of 2 nights, one night on my way to Arizona and another night on my drive back home to Texas. Both of these times I received nothing but outstanding customer service from all the staff here at mother road. To all the staff, Cheryl and Angel especially, you guys have been beyond amazing and may yall be blessed with many more years of health so that yall can continue to greet visitors with a loving smile. The staff is truly an example of what outstanding hospitality is all about, they went above and beyond anything I was expecting. I felt safe the whole time there, the girls in my room were chill and the people I meet while having breakfast there one morning invited me to ride with them to balloon fiesta! Always kind and friendly folks everywhere doing random acts of kindness! Love it! The building itself is really old but full of character. I overheard one of the staff talking to a guest and mentioned that at one point the hostel was a brothel! (dont quote me on it because I did not ask I just overheard). They have a lot of rooms and small nooks that it is really fascinating to see how they have adopted the house to meet the current needs of its habitants. You cannot take a single step inside without making the floor creek and eek with every step. They only allow smoking outside and they have continental breakfast available (there is a farmers market across the street from them so they get eggs from them every morning!). There are plenty of bathrooms available so if the one in your room is occupied just walk down the hallway and you will find one available. They have space heaters but if you are cold they do have extra blankets free of charge. The bunk beds are all different and I prefer bottom bunk because a big curvy girl like me does not feel safe on the top bunk. Bunk beds are first come first serve so get here early for your preference on bunk beds. Overall I really loved my stay here at mother road hostel and I can't wait to go back and stay with them again due to how much I enjoyed my stay with them.

My second favorite thing is meeting the other staff, residents, and travelers. The Mother Rode Hostel was a terrific location right in between Downtown Albuquerque and Old Town. We were so happy with our private room and it's private entrance, second bedroom, cute little bath and awesome kitchenette. We totally lucked out!! The staff were super friendly as well and we even spoke with the owner (who doubles as a real estate agent) at looking at property in this area. We are in the market for a vacation home or two and really fell in love with this part of New Mexico! I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area. Be sure to check out the Farmer's Market across the street.

The breakfast was delicious (the omelet was fire!), and the hot tub on a cold night was incredibly relaxing. We also met her family, and they were sweet and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Albuquerque!

We really exhausted ourselves that day so Red Horse was an especially welcome break. This B&B is a working farm so don't expect spit and polish outside. Not saying it isn't lovely, just farm- like. The inside feels like home with lots of comfy chairs and antiques plus some pottery items made by the grandfather of the house, Carl. The absolute BEST things about this spot are the people. Carl is still a very active, engaged and engaging person. If you're lucky enough to have time to talk with him, lucky you! Darlene, our hostess and husband 'pool boy' Phil, are down to earth, warm people who truly made us feel like family. The room was gorgeous with a lovely bathroom and a door out onto the wrap around porch with our own table and chairs looking out onto the back yard . Our favorite spot was the front porch with rocking chairs, so relaxing. Breakfast was yummy and we loved chatting with Darlene, such a lovely lady! This was a great find!

We booked a site with a private deck--such a smart touch--and the whole property felt exceptionally clean and thoughtfully laid out.

Every interaction with staff was pleasant, and the customer service was excellent. We recommend Nomadland RV Stay without hesitation and will absolutely choose it again anytime we're passing through Albuquerque.
