Overall pretty good -

Room initially given had no water pressure, but was moved promptly to an adjacent room. Overall pretty clean and staff pleasant and prompt to help at all times. Shower in second room remained an issue - shower head did not fit in holder properly so moved around when in use and temperature control fluctuated quite a bit Property quiet and central for many sights and surrounded by plenty of food options. Again, staff never an issue - always friendly and happy to help, just facilities need a little work.

Vintage motel beautifully updated.

Monterey Motel is a vintage Route 66 motel that's been completely remodeled but has retained it's classic charm.

A lovely boho style motel. Very clean. Spacious. Very quiet air con/heating. Check in/out is in the bar which is lovely, but when we arrived we were told we got a free glass of wine, so we put our bags in our room and came back and got a glass of wine each. When we went to leave to get food, we were asked to pay - I said, ‘but you said we got a free glass of wine?’ And he said, “yes, one glass” I asked, “oh, not one glass each?” He said no. I found this slightly odd but ok, apart from the fact that we were booked in for two nights, paying the same price each night, so surely that should equate to 2 free glasses? This isn’t a complaint, just my opinion. Everything else was totally spot on and we would definitely stay again.

This is a nice motel that is renovated and comfortable. It exceeded my expectations. The area is loud and can get pretty busy. The Monterey felt like a nice tucked away place on Central Ave.

Great staff, complimentary cocktails in a cool lounge on site and clean, stylish rooms. The surrounding neighborhood is a work in progress, but you can talk to some good restaurants, and also walk to trails along the Rio Grande.
