The Monterey hotel was perfect for our overnight stop in Albuquerque. It is an easy and safe walk to the Old Town which we just loved. We didn't really use the facilities as we just arrived after a long flight and stayed only one night.

Love Miss Olivia and the rest of the staff. The little bar lobby area is really cute. Everything was very clean and nice but our TV was very very dark. We couldn't watch it. Other than that it was awesome. Right around the corner from Old Town walkable cute neighborhood, shopping, restaurants & festivities.

Loved this place, What a great little motel! It was amazing not to mention the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in other than our own home. The extra lockoff bunk room for our family of 6 was a pleasant surprise addition as well!! The staff was also super friendly

Everything about this property is great. It’s a great location. The property is clean and the rooms look like they were just updated. Check in was easy and the manager was so friendly and helpful. We even got a free beer or wine at the bar with our stay. It’s a gem of a hotel.
