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.

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
