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.
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING (we like to set clear expectations to ensure that our guests have the best possible experience!) * The Cowgirl Suite is located on the lower level of our main building, and you may experience some noise from upstairs, typical of a 2 story historic building. * The suite is one of our largest, but the bathroom is one of our smallest (and might be a little cramped for really tall or long legged people). The shower requires a step-up that may not be ideal for elderly or disabled guests. * The futon bed and primary bed are in the same bedroom, so if you plan to use the futon make sure you are all ok being in the same room. This property is not suitable for pets. If you think this might not be the best fit for you, you may wish to consider one of our upstairs or standalone suites.
