Right on Munras Avenue yet still quiet area; for a very reasonable ( week day ) price -> spacious well cleaned & comfortable 1 bed queen room with walk in shower stall & it felt “ home - my” atmosphere with garden at the center of driveway /free parking lot which 1 car per room is permitted ; staff were friendly , aircon was working great ; the hotel is close to a lot of things : restaurants , grocery , pet store , gas & charging stations and highway ramps.

I like the place and my room. It was a clean room, and the parking lot has enough space for the guests. My only complaint was a little bit of noise at night from those who come late. But overall, it's highly recommended for those people looking for a cheaper place to stay.

Cute from the outside and pretty clean but the rooms and the beds, were very small. The walls were paper thin and the AC noisy. The pillows were uncomfortable and overall none of us got a good nights sleep. We spent 8 nights on a CA roadtrip and unfortunately this hotel was the one we couldn’t wait to leave.

The best accommodation among the 6 motels I've stayed at on Munras so far. I had a corner room at the back of the property away from the traffic, so no noise and a nice green belt in the back for privacy. Very clean, updated bedroom and bathroom, not spacious but enough for a couple of comfortable nights stay. There is only a vending machine for soft drinks and an ice dispenser, so bring whatever you need.

We were two travelers staying with a two bed room. He handed me one key, and I asked for a second because there are two of us? Why do you want two keys he asked……

We were staying two nights and when he checked us in, he never said they only clean every other day. The following day, I told them they could clean our room while we were out. Spoke with three people and thought they understood. They didn’t clean when we came back and I called down to speak with the manager, who said they don’t clean every day. I told him you never said that, and I spoke with three people that they were going to clean the room as we were on a business trip.

I have stayed there several times and love the location, but sadly will have to stay elsewhere.

The room wasn't very spacious, but it was clean, I like that the flooring wasn't carpet. Beds were comfortable. Staff was helpful, quiet and respectful. There is a large shopping center accross the street (which we only discovered on our last day, unfortunatly), Hotel conveniently located close to Carmel and Monterey.
Comparing location, availability and rates with other nearby hotels, I'd stay there again when visiting the area.

Kind owners/keepers, overall clean property, just minor issues with left over tape on the wall from what I imagine decorations that were there previously, some dirt smudges on the paint around window and coffee maker did not work. Still fine for an overnight stay, quiet overall and safe location. Comfortable beds, but too high for little ones as there is hard floor and the beds are higher than normal. Good location.

The Inn was very clean and nicely decorated. And the price was fair.
There are no amenities. No vending machines, even, to get things to drink or snack on.
My biggest challenge starting here was the cleaning staff. They didn't clean my room (which is fine in current times) but when I went to the office to get coffee for the next morning was told to go find the maid. Then on the day we were leaving, the maid was knocking on our door multiple times long before check out time.
Overall, it was not a bad experience, but there are alot of places to stay in Monterey. I appreciate the esthetics of the place, but the customer service is equally important

Beautiful room, parking outside the door, this re-modeled old school motel was a treat. Nice bed and great shower!
The only thing missing for us, it would have been nice to have real coffee in the lobby, since we had to leave the premises for some to get the day started. A nice area to find on our stop going thru the area at the end of our vacation week.

Ok stay - thought quite expensive for a small room and no breakfast
Doing a road trip from Sam Francisco to San Diego and this was most expensive place we have stayed in so far

Clean rooms, parking is an issue if you get back to your room after 9pm!

It was a simple clean hotel. Parking was a little tight at night, but there was a space for us.

I don't often write reviews, but this property was an outstanding value. My room looked like it was updated last week! Extremely clean, simple furniture but in excellent condition. Newer style bath and comfortable bed (not as firm as my bed at home but I slept very well). Not a place to lounge around the grounds, sip wine and watch the sunset, but if you are in Monterey to see the sights, then this place is perfect for 1,2 or 3 nights. Fantastic value!

Liked being able to park in front of room. Had the family family suite that did have an extra bedroom but the bathroom is way too small too close to the bed in the main room.

Easy for a one night stay. Room was tiny but fairly quiet. No breakfast options provided. Parking was a bit tight. Had to reverse out.
I prepaid for my room and the front desk made me pay a tax difference- in cash - before checking in. It was less than $1 but really tacky that they did that. I’ve never had that happen before,
There were hairs in the sink and I had to clean funk off the shower head. Walkable to Whole Foods and a little shopping center. Short drive to Beach, cannery row, etc.

We liked the U-shaped one story property and the grounds were beautifully landscaped and maintained. The room was newly renovated and very clean. We were in a pick up truck and it was a little difficult backing out of the parking lot.

Good but could be better.

On motel row in Monterey CA convenient to many tourist spots. Main complaint about this motel are the thin poorly insulated wall that allow hearing conversations in the adjacent rooms. One night the couple next door was chatting past midnight keeping me awake! The desk chair was worn out and did not function and no other chair was available. The clerk brought me worn out old folding chair which was not comfortable. Bed and shower were very good and maid service excellent!

Room was so nice & clean. Great for a last minute booking. Only think hard was the light. The light is super bright so might bring my own dimmer light next time. But had a fridge and microwave, so easy to warm up food. Loved it!
