Budget Friendly Hotels in Albuquerque: International Balloon Fiesta

Sharing is caring!

Each year, Albuquerque hosts the International Balloon Fiesta. In order to fully appreciate the fiesta and its many scheduled events, you’ll need to stay in Albuquerque for at least one or two nights. You’ll spend an abundance of time outside enjoying the fiesta, which means you don’t have to break the bank on a room.
