Our rooms were clean, the bed comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, lots of outdoor sitting with a few Barbecues. The whole property was well maintained with beautiful blooming flowers. The pool was heated and clean. Parking can be tight. I will definitely stay there again.

This is a converted Motel--put a paint job and a new bathroom vanity and apparently you can call it an \"Inn\". They even charged for parking, right outside your room window. It worked for a few nights but it's just a \"Motel\".

Easy parking, clean room that was basic but fit the needs, nice staff. The only complaint I have is that it said breakfast was included when in fact it is not included. There are items for sale in the front office, but the way I understood at booking was a continental breakfast available and included in the price of the room. Other than that the room fit what was needed!

While the exterior of the hotel and the grounds are attractive, our overall experience was disappointing.

We stayed in Room 161, located at the end of a small hallway. The hallway lights were out, making it very dark and unsafe to enter or exit our room after sunset.

Upon arrival, the floors were gritty with sand and dirt. The bedside lamp was unplugged because the electrical outlet behind the bed was damaged as the grounding prong had broken off inside the outlet, creating a potential fire and safety hazard.

On our second day, we requested housekeeping to empty the trash and leave extra towels. When we returned around 1:00 p.m., the room had not been serviced. Since our young children needed to nap, we placed the trash outside ourselves. The extra towels were never delivered.

We also found a significant amount of debris under the beds, including shoes, used brushes, and other items left by previous guests. It was obvious these areas had not been cleaned thoroughly.

The staff was friendly, and the property has potential, but the cleanliness issues, lack of housekeeping follow-through, and safety concerns mean we will not be staying here again.

The room was fine other than the shower water was blowing out air then dourts of water. After letting it run for 7-8 minutes and no change in temp or spurting of water, I had to call the front office. They said they would turn up the water temperature, then an attendant came by to check on the water. The air sputing stopped, however, it took 10 minutes each shower to earm up the water. A lot of wasted water waiting for the temperature to increase. They also did not clean or replenish towels or coffee.

The room was a good size and seemed to have been recently modernised, nice shower/bath and comfortable beds. 20 minutes walk downhill into down town Monterey. Plenty of parking but unfortunately they charge you $10 per night to park which is a rip off. The parking is free if you book directly with the hotel but felt it was a bit cheap to be penalising anyone who doesn't. Didn't use pool but it looked nice (Small). Fitness room has a treadmill, bike , stepper and multi gym. No free weights and pretty cramped.

Housekeeping only emptied the trash and replaced towels. Didn’t clean the bathroom at all. Ridiculous for what we paid. There were garbage bags flying around the parking lot. There was a bug in the bathroom when I first went in. Bathroom had shoddy workmanship, clearly cheaply done upgrades, dirty sealant around the tub. The room and property itself was decent. Pool was heated and small. No jacuzzi. Not the best hotel, not the worst. Wouldn’t pay more than $150 a night.

The inflation of Monterey motel prices is astonishing. This motel is definitely only midgrade, yet it was $400 for one night, including the $45 in taxes. Ouch! The room was clean, and the two beds were acceptable for the three of us (me, my wife, and son). But there was no shampoo OR conditioner in the dispensers in the shower (a minor thing, but a sign that nobody is checking the basics). The fridge was cold and quiet. I liked the wood floor in our room (I'm not a motel carpet fan), and that there was no room above us with people stomping around after midnight. The toilet flush was so explosively loud it could wake the dead (I imagine its impossible to clog though). The big disappointment was the shower, which leaked so much from the base of the showerhead that no more than 10% of the water came out of the jets. It was so comical that I was tempted to video it and post it online; it probably would have gotten a million clicks. But my wife was not amused, and we were in a hurry, so no time to complain at the desk. I will say that the location is good, near the Del Monte Shopping Center, downtown, and Fisherman's Wharf, with easy access back to Hwy 1 (we had business in Carmel Valley and Seaside). And the little pool looked inviting (80 degrees). I would probably stay there again (but I'd check the shower before I accepted the room).

We stayed here for a few nights, during our stay in Monterey. The property was easy to find, and was within walking distance to the local shopping mall and several nearby restaurants. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was very helpful. Parking, during our stay, was readily available and free. The rooms were neat, clean, and well maintained, and also included a small refrigerator and microwave. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were relatively quiet. The restrooms were roomy, clean, and well stocked, and the shower was quite roomy. The only exception I had was the fact the the bathroom doors are composed of frosted glass which, if you're staying alone (or are accompanied by someone with whom you're very comfortable) could be a bit awkward. As I was staying with family members, I wasnt too bothered by the bathroom doors being mostly opaque, but I understandthat not everyone would be comfortable with that. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return for future visits to Monterey.

First, they charge daily for parking. Other hotels in the area do not charge for parking. We got there one hour early and they wanted to charge more for early check in. Therefore, there is no one in the room, but they can't let you in unless you pay extra. No breakfast, only coffee in the lobby. Room smelled like mildew, but there was not visible mildew.

Parking is tight and if you get in late it's not easy to get right by your room. Otherwise there is adequate parking. There was some paper on the floor behind the chair and I ended up with 30 spider bites, from a yellow sac spider I found in my room. Thankfully it was not poisonous, but extremely itchy and unpleasant. There is light that streams into the bedroom from the bathroom window and it keeps the room really bright early in the morning when you don't want it to. No way to cover this as there is no shade. Walls are thin, so you may hear your neighbors and will to be quiet

This is right smack the middle of the peninsula between Carmel Pacific Grove and other areas, cuts down on your mileage. It's relatively quiet. It's a clean place, parking is very easy. Not fancy, but adequate. Only issue I have is that the rooms are very small. They used to have a little table and chairs in them, but no more. They do have a fridge and microwave.

I think everything was fine, with the exception of the smell of dead rat in our restroom. It was clear that they attempted to cover up the smell the best they could since we walked in and the first thing we smelled was strong fragrance and then we opened the bathroom door and the stench was quite strong. We were able to close the bathroom door and were only there for one night so wasn't a deal breaker for us.

Aside from that that, the beds were firm and the room was clean. Soap smells great and there was AC/heating so that was nice. Would stay again (probably would request another room if we ran into the same situation!)
