We loved our stay. The hotel was clean, the room was a nice size, the pool was beautiful and well maintained, the rose bushes were beautiful and the hotel was within walking distance of Old Town. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and would certainly stay there again if we went back to New Mexico. The only thing that we did not like was that the ...
Stayed here while travelling Rt. 66. First the motel has an EXCELLENT location. walking distance from Old Town, Botanic Gardens, etc. Rooms were clean and tidy. The pool is also nice.
HOWEVER, the owners aren't friendly. My wife was asked 5 times in 10 minutes while checking in whether or not she smoked. There are signs EVERYWHERE (don't ...

Non-Smokers Paradise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/22/05
Monterey Motel is a wonderful non-smokers paradise. The rooms are clean and attractive and, of course, do not smell like smoke. The pool is clean and able to be enjoyed without having someone sitting poolside using the pool as an ashtray. Great owners, excellent hospitality, near Old Town, your best bet.

Oasis in the desert
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/26/05
The couple who own/operate the Monterey are great. I stayed there before they took it over and they have improved on an already excellent motel. I hesitate to send this in as it may mean that I won't be able to reserve there when next I'm in Albuquerque - its where I stay whenever I'm in that fair city.
I was attending a conference at a nearby hotel 0.4 miles away, but always like to stay in smaller places. The couple who operate this small 16 (17?) room hotel just SW of the Old Town District do a good job of maintaining an "old Route 66 style motel". Nice bedding, good TV, etc. It is close to Botanic Garden, Zoo, Art Museum, National Atomic Museum, and the Old Town District.

European Style in Albuquerque
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/19/04
This place is fantastic. We've been going there for years. The place is very clean and well decorated with flowers blooming. The pool is kept crystal clean. There is a guest laundry there too. The innkeepers are from Poland and have many guests coming from Europe as they run the motel more like a European inn than most.
