3-Star Historic Route 66 Retreat in Albuquerque
Accommodations
The Monterey Motel offers two distinct lodging options: redesigned contemporary guest rooms and the unique StayAts. The guest rooms provide a blend of simplicity and luxury, designed for relaxation. Each accommodation serves as a retreat, inviting guests to unwind after their adventures.
Craft Cocktails
Local craft spirits and cocktails are served at the bar, with offerings including Monterey Motel's own gin and vodka. Signature drinks, like the Norman shandy made with craft ale and hand-squeezed lemonade, highlight local flavors. The hotel's bartenders are equipped to provide a custom cocktail experience for guests.
Dining Options
The Monterey Motel collaborates with ten local restaurants, allowing guests to explore the flavors of Albuquerque without an on-site kitchen. By scanning a QR code, guests can place orders from established dining venues, providing a seamless dining experience. This partnership showcases the diverse and rich culinary scene of the area.
Cultural Location
Situated within walking distance from Old Town Albuquerque, the motel offers access to rich local culture, art, and history. Guests can explore the striking Spanish Pueblo and Victorian architecture while participating in events and activities nearby. The area's museums and local artisans promise an engaging experience.
Event Spaces
For gatherings, The Monterey Motel partners with El Vado ABQ, where a versatile event center is available. This space contains three combinable event rooms equipped with state-of-the-art audio/visual technology. An inviting logia and outdoor event patio enhance the setting for any celebration.

Cultural Location: Old Town Albuquerque
“The Monterey Motel reimagines its mid-century roots with a fresh, modern touch, evident in the completely refurbished rooms featuring memory foam beds and thoughtful amenities. It's a place where the original retro charm of the exterior meets a clean, inviting interior, making for a comfortable and surprisingly well-appointed stay. The addition of a lounge with a bar, kitchen, and laundry facilities, alongside complimentary morning coffee and a welcome drink, elevates the experience beyond typical motel expectations, especially considering the value.”
