This motel is funky, old-fashioned & friendly. Driving up to the motel we felt as though we were caught in some sort of time warp. It definitely looks like something out the 1950s. Great neon sign outside greeted us when we pulled into the parking lot. The owner is very friendly & was proud of his former home town in... More

Monterey Motel is a very clean, quiet and cozy place to stay, just minutes from the heart of downtown Albuquerque. My wife and I were there a few nights, for the second time in two years. The motel is very up to date, but got its start in the 1940's. It takes me back to a time when I was... More

The gentleman/owner was inflexible and argumentative. My hopes were high due to the reviews but were dashed by the complete lack of hospitality. If this hotel represents European Hospitality as advertised, I do not want to visit that part of Europe! More

This motel is a much welcome change from chain hotels. We arrived late in the evening but the gentleman at the front desk (also the owner) was right there ready to check us in for the night.

The science museum and art museum are adjacent to Old Town. The University District and Nob HIll are a short... More

We were warmly greeted by Henry. The motel is nicely lopcated a few minutes walk from Old Town. however, Henry recommended driving since the highway was a busy one. amenities were fine and I would stay there again if in the area More

Lovely owners keep it clean, secure and reasonable. The best of all our stays in ALB. (Too bad the El Rancho's empty). Comfortable and small, chairs out front so I met my "neighbors" from Austin. 1950's pool, very cute. Rt 66 gem near Old Town. More
