Top hotels in West Old Town
Best Western Plus Rio Grande Inn
No free breakfast provided, I imagine because of the attached restaurant. Location was great and property and room well maintained. Liked the local Southwest decor. I would stay here again and would recommend to others.

The Monterey Motel
Rooms are clean, well decorated and modern but not my thing. Not a fan of the “doorless shower” the floor still ended up wet. The area is very noisy but thats not the fault of the property owners. Check in is at the bar with was odd but well handled. Parking is not adequate enough..
