If you're looking for a place to stay while you're in Albuquerque, this probably isn't it as the motel has some less than favorable reviews. But when you get to the Crossroads Motel you will immediately recognize it as the house of ill repute where ladies of the night and dope dealers alike peddle their wares. The Crystal Palace is the workplace of the character, Wendy. In Season 1, Hank takes Walt Jr. to the Crystal Palace to show him first hand the ills of illicit drugs. Hank harasses Wendy and clues in the wide-eyed Walt Jr. that she gives "Wendies" to provide for her drug habit. In Season 2, Jesse holes up with Wendy in The Palace smoking copious amounts of meth, surprisingly to set up an alibi for his whereabouts after his car is found at Tuco's safe house. But perhaps the most iconic portrayal of the Crystal Palace comes in Season 3 when Wendy gets her fifteen minutes through a montage of her daily routine to the catchy hook, "Everyone knows it's Wendy." The Crossroads Motel is located at 1001 Central Avenue NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106-4926.
