Customer Reviews
A lovely and pleasing dinner at the Marriott. The espresso martini as delivered by the staff was sweet and chocolatey; tasty enough that you won't want to put it down, and a welcome refreshment for a traveller. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly. I was glad for the meal, pleasant atmosphere, and a nice room just upstairs.
The perfect example of friendliness will get you everywhere. This is a very busy hotel bar and restaurant. We’ve stayed a few times and it’s always crazy busy. Often tables are behind on being bussed and it takes a moment to get served. However everyone on staff from bartenders to servers are always extremely friendly and in this day and age that goes a long way with me. The food is ok, nothing marvelous BUT their desserts & cocktails … are very good.
Mike at Cielo Sandia, Marriott Albuquerque, made our experience outstanding. He arranged a private space, ensured everything was ready as we arrived, and his team provided excellent food and seamless service. We couldn’t have asked for better care and look forward to working with him again!
Don't do it. Don't eat here. I too was in a hurry, read through the reviews, saw the people who said "this place is a rip off", and thought to myself, "it can't be that bad, can it?" Well, it can. Egregious pricing-basically criminal-for bland food that seems like it just came from the freezer aisle. I paid over 20 bucks for a glass of milk, some stodgy eggs, a single poor hash brown, and a few slices of toast. With a stove and a grocery store, I could recreate this same meal but better for approximately 3 dollars. In many ways, Cielo Sandia represents all that is wrong with the world, or at least corporate America. It's a sterile, uninspiring place that feels like it just walked out of a corporate meeting, ready to prey on the inconvenienced and those who want to pretend they're living
I'm 59 years old, and the $13 "to go" breakfast burrito here has to rank among my worst food experiences ever. If it had been free, it still would've been terrible. At $5 or $6, I would've been furious. But to pay $13 for something that small and awful is beyond belief. How do you screw up a bacon & egg burrito? There are only 3 ingredients: a flour tortilla, egg, and something they called bacon. All of them were bad (even artificial bacon bits have some bacon-like flavor), and the combination - which even mediocre faux-Mexican places can get nominally right - was atrocious. That a supposedly 3-star hotel would offer a con like this is shameful. Grossly inflated prices for a food product that is totally gross. This is what I'll remember of a Marriott.
