LOCATION
The Desert Compass is located in historic Old Town, Albuquerque. Directly across the street is Tiguex Park, the entrance to historic Old Town plaza, the Albuquerque Museum, and a block away is the Museum of Natural History, Explora Science Museum, and Sawmill neighborhood, with the newly built Sawmill Market - an upscale food hall featuring some of the city's best food and drinks.

Historic Old Town has been the heart of Albuquerque since the city was founded here in 1706. Today, Old Town is the city's cultural center, with numerous museums and more than 100 shops, galleries and restaurants. Old Town’s narrow streets and century-old adobe houses are home to New Mexican eateries serving enchiladas and sopapilla pastries, and tiny artisan shops selling jewelry, rugs and pottery. Old Town Plaza is a charming spot overlooked by the 18th-century San Felipe de Neri Church. Nearby, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science has dinosaur skeletons, while the Albuquerque Museum displays Southwestern art.

Quick Trip to ABQ
A quaint, clean room with the kind of SW charm only found in NM. Desert Compss is located in the best part of Albuquerque - steps away museums, shops, and several good restaurants/bars.

Just what I needed
Loved the Desert Compass. The space was light, comfortable, and came with a deep down peaceful feeling. The courtyard area was beautiful - the cowboy pool was perfect for soaking my feet after a day of sightseeing. While this sounds like a tiny thing - one of the best things was the filtered water container in the fridge. Each hot day, there was plenty of fresh cool water.

Convenient, comfortable, and full of thoughtful details
I was shocked at how *close* this suite was to many things I was interested in checking out... museums, Sawmill Market, Old Town shops, cafes. I loved the flexibility to walk to grab breakfast, return to the suite to relax a bit more, head on out again, return to rest, etc. I especially appreciated all of the detailed communication and information (didn't have any questions), and the thoughtful touches with providing great toiletries, all the kitchen items I could think of, gorgeous art and ceramics, and *especially* a Brita filter! I always worry about finding water whenever I'm staying somewhere new and was so excited when I saw it in the suite :)

Picture Perfect!
Beautifully designed space that provides Southwestern vibes in a modern approach. Had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. Shared outdoor space was unique and comfortable. Didn’t take a dip in the cowboy pool, but it was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended overall!
