We are staying the 13th and 1th (Saturday and Sunday nights) at the Hawthorn Suites on Gibson Road in Albuquerque and wondered which of the Shuttle Bus locations we should go to and at what time so that we can see the mass ascension. Also does the price of the bus include roundtrip?

http://www.balloonfiesta.com/guest-guide/park-ride gives locations and suggests you get to the park before 6:45 a.m.
I would try the Cliff's Amusement Park lot; it's easy to get to from I-25. Take the Jefferson exit and stay on the frontage road. Turn right on Osuna (there's no light, so you'll have to look for it) and the lot is on your right.
You'll save quite a bit of money by buying your tickets online, but watch the weather forecast to make sure the weather will be good.
The price is for the round trip, and includes fiesta admission.
