The staff was very friendly. The room was spacious and clean. It was a good location to see the city and the surrounding areas. We visited Petroglyphs, ate at Sawmill and wandered around. There was a great bagel place walking distance from the hotel for breakfast.

Long time guest but some unexpected problems
I have been staying at the Monterey for more than 30 years, since the 1980s, and I'm very loyal to this motel, as I like the location, the price, and have watched the new developments over the last decade, including the revivified El Vado. However, two years in a row, we have encountered problems with water, including no hot water at all and no water in the shower at all. Both times necessitating that we be moved to other rooms. Staff, though they try to be helpful, is overextended by the present layout, where there is noone directly resposible for ministering to guest problems at the Monterey. Desk employees are being asked to do double duty as the bar/brew pub and front desk and as a result guests are somewhat neglected. Hope the ongoing problems with the physical plant are finally rectified, so future winter visits are not similarly affected.

The room was very cold and the heater did not adjust as we tried to elevate the heat. The shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot no in between.
