Nice motel on Route 66 near Old Town with a European Flair

Rooms were older but very clean. The owners were very nice and the location was within walking distance from Old Town. Not many amentities, and we were disappointed that the pool wasn't open with 100 degree temperatures. All in all, a good experience and would consider returning.

Old sheets, but with great hospitality, as advertised.

My reception at the motel was way above expectations. The proprietor is very friendly and had lots of useful travel advice for the area. The location is very convenient - walkable distance from Old Town and on historic Route 66. However, when as I was tucking in for the night, the sheets had a "greasy" feeling. Don't get me wrong, they seemed like they had been laundered, but have accumulated a grime like on the back of an old Oxford...I ended up sleeping on top of a few bath towels. Not exactly what I had hoped for...

Worth a Second Visit!

The Monterey Non Smokers motel is a fantastic value. We stayed 1 night before heading out to Taos the next day. Very clean, terrific linens, and close to Old Towne, this motel is a great bargain if you plan to stay a couple of nights. I would certainly recommend it to friends.

Great value in a great location

Motel was very conveniently located - within walking distance of Old Town plus an easy on-off to the freeway. Rooms aren't fancy but very clean and relatively spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful. i would defintely stay here again.

Stayed twice

Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced, with owners that care. Park at your door and an easy walk to old town. We liked it well enough to stay on our return trip.

Very Clean

The motel was very clean and was walking distance to Old Town. The price was very reasonable. The bathroom door knob didn't lock and the deadbolt on the outside door didn't work. Those things didn't bother me, but the VERY firm beds hurt our backs. If the beds were softer, I'd recommend this place because it fit the budget.

Hidden gem

This motel looks and feels like home, not a motel. The decorating is homey, the owners are a delightful, friendly couple. There are laundry facilities and a pool. The location is wonderful and the price is most reasonable. The motel is on old US 66 and there is easy access to I 40. A good place to stay for several days and see the sights around Albuquerque.

Old Town is just two blocks from the motel and a wonderful place to shop, including vendors selling jewelry on the sidewalks.

Nice little place to stay.

I really liked this hotel. It was quite comfortable and in walking distance from the old town area. The man that was running the place was very friendly and helpful and recommended a great place to eat. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the TV (well over 200 channels) was a nice escape after a long drive.

Great Mom and Pop place

This place is really sweet, you can tell the couple who run it do so with great pride. We rolled in at 11:45 pm, and [...] actually placed a tarp (it was raining) over our bicycle that was mounted on the back of the SUV without even telling us she was going to do so. She hunted up extra coffee and creamers. The room was spotless. And best of all, it's only a 5-minute walk to Old Town. Their recommendation for where to eat was great too; I only wish I were heading back this way!

Check out the Church Cafe (behind the old church on the Square) for a great brunch in their courtyard.
