Absurdly good value in a fun part of ABQ. Friendly staff, clean room, nice amenities. I was upgraded to a king bed in a giant room with a couch. My new place to stay when passing through the Duke City.

Absolutely loved this place! I’d stay here again over a cookie cutter hotel room. Beds were comfy and the down comforters on the bunk beds were soft and cozy. Only negative is the water pressure which is understandable due to the age of the when it was developed.

Room was clean but had a strong sanitizer smell to it. The pool was nice too!

This was a beautiful property. The room was so clean and very well decorated with RT 66 theme. The parking is one-way through the property, so be careful coming in/out. The lobby staff is very helpful.

Recently renovated and modernized, we really enjoyed our stay at the Monterrey. The staff was attentive to our needs. Parking was adequate, though one way through the property, exiting onto a local street. The bar was nice and getting a free drink for our stay was a plus. The motel is easy walking distance to Old Town, which features many shops and restaurants. The Mexican Restaurant (Los Compadres) across the street was excellent and reasonably priced.

First impressions weren't great, but how wrong they can be. The staff were amazing, the area was ideal, the room was extremely clean and comfortable. Was lively to have a bar with an outside area to truly unwind.

The property is in an ok area, very close to old town with restaurants etc all walkable from the hotel. Pool and hotel are in great condition, well maintained and clean. Family suites are fun, only suggestion would be to add 1/2 bath to the kids room, everyone shares the bathroom in the master bedroom side. A sink and toilet on the kids side would make these amazing. Otherwise the place is perfect!

Love to stay at this Motel, the cleanliness is fantastic, but the staff is a little like talking to a cold fish. The individual that checked us in was great , everyone after that was just cold and blatantly rude. pool was clean, room was clean, parking lot was clean.
