Nice renovated and hip spot close to old town!

Walking distance to old town, Albuquerque and super renovated rooms and friendly staff! The bar area had a social atmosphere

10.0 / 10.0

Everything and everyone exceeded my expectations.

Good value. Very clean. Comfortable bed and bath. Great lounge. Near Old Town. Friendly and efficient staff - Mark was an outstanding host.

No points off but would have loved the pool to be heated.

The Monterey Motel has that quirky remodeled 50s-motel vibe with all the modern amenities.

We love the Monterey Motel and will stay again next time we are in Albuquerque. The motel is delightful. It has that quirky, remodeled 50s motel vibe with all the modern amenities. Spotlessly clean. Great shower. The motel "office" is actually a small bar with comfy 1950s-style chairs and music some nights. When we arrived they offered us a free drink each--coffee, wine, beer, even a mixed drink. No rush. I had mine that night after dinner at a Mexican restaurant across the street. The motel is in Old Town, so lots to do a short drive away.

1200/10 would stay again

Driving thru for work. It’s a wonderful stay. The rooms and tbh the entire place feels like a small little resort type hotel. They have an onsite bar with a free complimentary drink. For the price it was 1000% worth it.

Everything was perfect

We were made to stand awkwardly at the edge of the bar (no lobby, as such), while the person filled her till with coins.

The room was okay. The bed was comfortable.

We were placed directly near the noisy busy highway, although there were better rooms clearly available at the back of the motel.

Hope to stay here again.

Really nicely redone motel within walking distance of Old Town Plaza and ABQ Bio park. Really enjoyed the stay. The room was comfy and felt more like a friends apartment than a motel. Onsite bar and complimentary drinks also.

It was great

Super cute hotel, might stay again.

Loved the modern, up to date, decor. It was such a fun stay.

The air conditioner did not work and it was so hot for our group and we also experienced an ant issue in my children’s area.

Turned away despite booking in June

I was turned away whilst checking in as they had no rooms available despite the fact that I had booked a room back in June. I was left searching for alternative accommodation late in the afternoon as the hotel that was suggested quoted us $580 for a night which was double what I paid at the Monterey Motel.

Great accommodations and close to Old Town. Maybe not great for a Sat night?

Great all around. Rooms were so comfortable, great retro style, very modernized and classy. Wonderful beds.

Sat night there was loud partying from 11 pm -4 am with people milling all around the ground floors. Sleep that night was problematic.

We really enjoyed our stay here.

We stopped for 1 night on our trip back home. It was very close to Old Town which we wanted to go to. There was a bar and very nice patio that you could enjoy to just hang and relax at the motel. The room was decorated super cute and very clean.

The shower was difficult to use without getting water on the outside floor.

Great hotel for the price!

I like that I could park my car right in front of my room. Also the beds were super comfortable. They were a memory foam type of mattress. The staff was very nice and offered me drinks for free when I checked in. At night they had a live band playing in the front bar area. There was amenities that were close like restaurants and grocery stores that were just down the street. We were able to eat at Panda Express and bring her food back to the hotel and eat at their tables at the front. The swimming pool is very clean and my kids had a blast.

The only thing I would comment on about the room would be two things. First would be that the beds do not have fitted sheets or mattress protectors. Underneath the flat sheet is the bare mattress. I spoke to hotel staff and asked him if that is normal and they said that is just how they do it there. The second issue I had was the bathroom shower seems to have drainage issue. After taking a shower water was already running down the floor into the bedroom. The bathroom has a strange train that is not in the center of the shower it is on the edge where you enter. Also there is no door to the shower but that is by design.

9.0 / 10.0

I thought it was a great place to stay in Albuquerque.

I really liked the independent vibe of this place as well as the bar/lounge on the property. The pool was also a really nice perk as it was HOT. The employee who I dealt with the first day was outstanding--truly helpful, kind, funny, a good bartender. . .I have nothing but praise for him.

The ice machine was broken and the hotel would not let me have any ice from the bar.

9.0 / 10.0

Great vibe! Rude check in person.

The location is an easy walk to Old town. The decor was fabulous!

I believe the gentleman who checked us in was named Isaac. He was rude and unprofessional. I misunderstood something he said, and he told me I needed hearing aids. (Not as a joke) Later, when we came to the lounge to get ice, (the ice machine was broke.) he reluctantly got us ice. When we asked about the party/family room, he said he would open it for us, but requested that we clean up our shit. He used the word shit twice. To be clear, we didn't want to use the room, we were just inquiring about it. His manner was completely unprofessional.

Comfortable, convenient stay with parking

The shower head, while modern wouldn’t stay in place and the hot water pressure was low so showering was tricky - only time I’ve had that issue here before though!
