The Fairfield Inn (Marriott) is a nice property.

Two good restaurants very near the Fairfield Inn are, ';Little Anitas,'; at 2000 Menaul Blvd. NE, if you%26#39;d care to sample our ';New'; Mexican food; and ';The Range Cafe,'; 2100 Menaul Blvd. NE. The latter is an especially good place for breakfast.

Your hotel is on the west side of I-25, and the restaurants are on the east side.

Since you mentioned it...the Fairfield Inn is not ';that'; close to the University of New Mexico...two miles maybe. If that makes any difference.

If you are without a car, I wish you%26#39;d stayed nearer our historic Old Town area, with adjoining museums (so much to see)...but a cab ride won%26#39;t break you either. Probably about five-six miles. Have a wonderful time, and get back to us if we may be of any more assistance. I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll receive further restaurant suggestions from other, local contributors.

I second what NM Photojournalist has said, and will add that while you are close to University Blvd, you are not very close to UNM, by foot.

Depending on how long you will be in Albuquerque, there may be a rental car in your future. ABQ is a new western city with much sprawl, and you will be missing out on almost everything a tourist wants to see by the location you have chosen to settle into, and not having a car. Would you reconsider?

I also second The Range. Great food, good price any time of day.

I could swear the Fairfield is just off I-25, to the EAST. Google maps seem to support that. In any case, the hotel is on a side street, you can head north on that street and be at Menaul Blvd. Turn right and you%26#39;ll find Little Anita%26#39;s and further down the road is The Range, which I third! You can also keep going , just under a mile and hit the mediocre Applebee%26#39;s chain restaurant. Not being from the US, you might find it representative of typical American chain food, and reasonably priced.

oh, DON%26#39;t!!!! we would of loved to have stayed longer, but we start our route 66 road trip from here, having amtraked from NY to chicago, few days there, then amtrak to ABQ, overnight only, collect car from airport, that%26#39;s why we have booked this hotel as it is not far from the airport, and then off we go at 9 o%26#39;clock the next morning, gallop, hollbrook,grand canyan,vagas, and finally LA for a couple of days and then home to the UK, we are SOooooooooo!!!! excited, can%26#39;t wait, but i%26#39;m sure we will return to ABQ to spend some quality time, thank%26#39;s for your help, fizz

If you%26#39;ve only got one night, take a cab to the Frontier Restaurant. It is the very definition of ';albuquerque diner'; and you%26#39;re not that far away distance-wise. You can have an awesome burger, a traditional american breakfast, or some of our special new mexican food. My personal favorite is huevos rancheros covered in green chile stew! Don%26#39;t miss the homemade tortillas covered in butter and honey. (If I had a dime for every time i%26#39;ve written that on this forum . . . I%26#39;d have maybe fifty cents. . . : ) Also, the Frontier is open late, just in case that helps.

Oddly enough, we%26#39;ve got a lovely restaurant here called Standard Diner. I just had to throw that in.

I saw Standard Diner on Guy%26#39;s Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives a couple of weeks ago.

Guy is here a lot, must like ABQ. I lost a lot of respect for him once he started trolling for TGI Friday%26#39;s.

Standard Diner is one of our favorites on Central, along with The Grove, for a nice brunch/lunch.

Last night I saw an episode of ';Diners, Drive-ins %26amp; Dives'; where Guy was at Bert%26#39;s Burger Bowl in Santa Fe for their green chile cheeseburger. I%26#39;ve never been to Bert%26#39;s, and as long as the Bobcat Bite is in business, I might never get there!

It%26#39;s very frustrating when a city has TOO MANY really good places to eat.

That%26#39;s right Karma! Darn that vast array of choices! (visual of fist shaking at the heavens)

LOL! We love The Grove too. It%26#39;s the only place where I can get a red velvet cupcake! Yum!
