If you don't like high-rises such as the Wyndham Albuquerque Hotel, this is the best selection of airport-area hotels. Opened in 1990, this four-story member of the Marriott family is built around an attractively landscaped courtyard. Families appreciate the security system -- access is only by key card between 11pm and 6am -- though most of the hotel's clients are business travelers. The units are roomy and comfortable, with walnut furniture and firm beds. Ask for a balcony room on the courtyard.
