Last minute booking during a roadtrip and very happy I did. The gentleman who handled check-in at the time was super helpful and accommodating (note for anyone with cooler, my fridge did NOT have a freezer section at top, like many of the small ones have. Unsure if all rooms are same when it comes to that, just mentioning.) The room was very comfy and clean and had a modern flair, while also staying cozy. Great space.

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.

One of the reasons we booked this hotel was due to the pool and the whole time the pool was closed due to maintenance. This was disappointing since it was beautiful out both days. The rooms were nice and clean. We didn't like the showers. They had no doors and the water would spray all over the floor.

We loved this cute little retro-motel on Rt 66. Very recently remodeled and in very good taste. They have a super cool lounge serving beer and cocktails.The only thing we didn’t like was they offered no wi-fi which is actually a big deal these days. Also, weird check out experience. When I went to the lounge/office to check out the door was locked. Fortunately we had removed all of our stuff to the area outside the door because the entry card no longer worked. No problem for us, but we saw other travelers who were apparently locked out of their room but not having removed all their luggage.
