All in all good remodeled room. I know staff has a time frame to clean the room but just a little more dusting in certain areas. Other than we loved our stay beds were comfortable and not too far from old town. I will definitely stay there again. I had the double bed room with bunk beds and it was so convenient when traveling with other people and they get their own bed. Loved that I was able to check in through Expedia and just arrived to pick up keys.

This place is a find. It really qualifies as a boutique motel with the best remodel to an old motel that I've seen, Everything was tastefully appointed, large room, beautiful furnishings. Somehow we got the family room for just two of us, If you have a family this is a perfect room, with a separate room with four full or possibly queen size bunks, curtain that closes on each one, cubby and light. There's a door to shut off the room if needed. Modern bathroom and fixtures, very nice staff, and even a token for a free beer or glass of wine. I would definitely stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it. About a five minute walk to Old Town.

Perfect!!! The photos on the website are accurate. The hotel is quaint with decor to match the vibe. It’s old, but it’s updated, well maintained and clean. I stayed at expensive hotels on this trip and my bed here was the most comfortable by far. I’m surprised this hotel is so inexpensive because it’s very nice. The pool area is clean with nice, comfortable lounge chairs. The staff, particularly Nikey, was so kind and helpful. Next time, I will stay at the Monterey and skip the “luxury” hotel altogether. I love this place.

Motel is in a very walkable, trendy old town area. Clean, fresh room with updated styling. On site cocktail bar is perfect. The Albuquerque Bio Park is nearby. Staff was helpful and friendly. I really liked this Route 66 renovated hotel full of charm.

Excellent location - within walking distance to Old Town. The room(s) were huge and very nice. Staff was great! My only suggestion is to have better coffee in the morning. What was available was very weak.

Reminds me of the no-frills 1950s ‘motor hotels’ my family stayed at when I was a kid, but modernized. Clean, comfortable room with a ‘50s vibe. Good location close to Old Town, Aquarium, and restaurants. Only caution is the place is on a Main Street (Route 66) so traffic noise. Recommended

We accidentally booked an ADA room the shower was only usable in a chair. They gladly switch our room the next day. Bed was verrry comfy and the room was cozy and updated. The pool was cooking but not too. Cocktails at the bars were pretty spendy but staff was friendly. Walking distance to cute shops and restaurants and to the aquarium and botanical garden. Would stay again.
