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!):
* Due to the historic nature of the Rattlesnake Suite structure, we do not recommend this space for guests taller than 6 feet as the ceiling is low in a few places.


PET FRIENDLY
The Rattlesnake Suite is pet friendly to well behaved pets, with a $50 pet fee per pet (2 maximum) and agreement to our pet rules:
- Keep pets leashed at all times while on the property.
- Clean up all pet waste immediately (we prefer if you take pets across the street to use the restroom at the park when possible).
- Pets are not allowed on the furniture. If you absolutely cannot keep them off, please cover any furniture thoroughly (we provide a pet blanket to cover the sofa in a basket in the room).
- Do not allow pets to bark incessantly or cause disturbance to the other guests.

We ask that you be the judge of whether this is an appropriate space for your individual child to stay, as you'll be responsible for any damages.

Cute place
The room had a lot of charm and was a great size. I’m over 6 feet tall so I had to do some ducking while walking around. But overall to have a small “cowboy” pool, hot tub, off street parking with a gate and be walking distance to old town was great. I would definitely like to stay there again

Rattlesnake suite perfection
So beautifully, artfully and well appointed and the location is lovely by the park and perfect for its close proximity to Old Town. We could not have been more pleased with our overnight stay. Communication regarding arrival and check out were clear and concise.

Perfect Old Town Stay!
We loved the Rattlesnake Suite, its decor, and the lovely compound for all the Desert Compass suites. We never had to contact the property manager during our two-day stay. The property is located just steps from Old Town shops. Amazing place and location!

Amazing Location!
This is very cute, beautifully decorated, suite has easy parking, a security gate, hot tub, and is located a five minute walk from the central square of the old town. And, as a bonus, across the street from the unit is a beautiful park where my dog loved to run! Restaurants, museums, and shopping very close by, too!
