It's a little motor lodge & at first I was impressed with the cleanliness, but when making coffee the next morning I pulled out the tray & there was a coffee pouch with mildew from a previous guest. Deal breaker. Sorry..I wanted to like it.

Good experience. AC unit was a bit loud at times. The wood blinds let too much light in the room. Those are 2 things that could use improvement. Otherwise it was a good stay.

This place is horrible do not stay here! Not only did they give me keys to someone else's room, my room apparently wasn't even ready yet 45 mins after their check in time. When trying to get my money back, after not even staying there and booking a different room, I wasn't even able to get my money back.

Sadly, our stay was not very positive. The rooms were dirty and our tv didn’t work. They were not helpful with the tv and didn’t really want to do anything to make good. They eventually agreed to give 15% off. The sheets in our room were dirty and had period stains. It was gross overall.

The property is great and clean I have no complains. But I feel like I was scammed, I don't know if by Expedia or by the lodge because when I booked it that afternoon, it says it's the only room left so I paid $195. But when I checked again after an hour, that same room is available again for a cheaper price of $160! The room is non-refundable so there's nothing I can do to change it. That price difference could almost cover my dog's pet fee. With today's economy, every dollar counts. So disappointing.

Comfortable stay overall. The bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the location was convenient for exploring Monterey and the surrounding area. The rooms appeared to be somewhat updated and clean. I thought the property was a good value and would probably stay here again if the price was right. One thing to note is that photos may show a jacuzzi, but it appears to be associated with certain rooms rather than being a shared amenity for all guests.

The property was clean the bed was comfortable but squeaked loudly. There was a super bright light right outside our window and the wooden shutters were loose so it was bright all night. We had a large whirlpool tub which was awesome and the water was a pretty clear blue color. Oddly though it left a weird orange ring in the tub....2 different bathers... possibly from their hotel mango shampoo in the lines? Fridge was nice.. never got turned on so food ruined.. I should have checked..AC was loud. Marginal stay could have been better.... Will do in a pinch. Assigned free parking also a bonus.

We recently stayed at this hotel. Most of the services were excellent and the staff were very good, so we appreciate that very much.

However, there were a few issues during our stay. The internet Wifi connection was extremely slow. Even YouTube could not load, so it was very difficult to watch TV or use online services.

Also, in one of the bathrooms, the glass shower partition was too small. Whenever we turned on the shower, water splashed all over the bathroom floor outside . After every shower, we had to wipe and clean the water ourselves. The glass partition is not sufficient and should be improved.

Other than these issues, the rest of the hotel service was very good.

We booked a two room unit with a king bed and two queens in the main area. Beds were comfy enough and the room was clean and had been remodeled recently. The staff ladies were attentive and helped out when the TV lost it's mind and we could not get Netflix or Prime loaded and it was fixed fairly soon. A bit noisy being right on Freemont and our room #45 was only two rooms from the street but the noise was minimal when it was time to sleep. Location was not as close to the Aquarium and Fisherman's wharf as we would have like but that is my fault for not checking the map. Price was good at only $145 night and getting the extra room so we all had privacy was important as we had our adult grandaughter with us.

Lone Oak Lodge is convenient & very close by to many places I wanted to see —- Monterey, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, 17 Mile Drive, Pacific Grove, Carmel Mission Basilica Church. Only 5 to 15 minutes drive. Stayed here a couple of nights. Reasonable price for huge, clean room & accommodating staff, including the housekeeping. The smell of the room though is too clean! Ingredients of cleaning supplies might be a bit much for people with smell sensitivity. Thank you!

I really wanted to like Lone Oak Lodge because we had such a great time in Monterey overall—but unfortunately, the stay here was disappointing.
The biggest issue was the spa situation. The listing advertises an indoor spa, which gave us the impression it was available to guests. In reality, it’s only accessible if you pay extra for a private spa room—and those were mostly booked. We ended up paying additional just to use it for one night, which felt misleading and frustrating.
Another issue was the water—it had a strange “soapy” feel that made showers uncomfortable. It didn’t feel clean, which is a big deal when you’re staying somewhere for multiple nights.
The room itself was just okay. Nothing terrible, but nothing that justified the price either. There wasn’t even a tea kettle provided, which felt like a basic amenity that should be included.
To be fair, the staff was decent and not the problem—but overall, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. For the price, I wish we had stayed at Best Western De Anza Inn instead, which offers a more accessible spa, includes breakfast, and is more affordable.
Overall, pretty disappointing. Monterey was amazing—but this stay definitely wasn’t the highlight.

The newer shower floors are safer / less slippery than bathtubs & they have a grab bar too .
The fridge is larger than most other places so the ice cube buckets actually fit into the freezer .
I filled the ice, used it from the freezer & it lasted a couple of days instead of the normal couple of hours until it melts .
The mattress was good . . . firm and comfortable .
The heating unit worked well / quickly with no odd smells .

I chose this hotel specifically because it advertised a hot tub and sauna across both its website and Expedia listing, including multiple photos. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was told by the front desk that both the hot tub and sauna have been closed for years.

This was extremely disappointing, as those amenities were the main reason I booked this property over others in the area. This wasn’t a temporary issue or something out of the hotel’s control, it appears the listing has simply not been updated, which feels misleading.

Aside from that, the stay itself was okay, but nothing standout. However, advertising amenities that don’t actually exist significantly impacts the overall experience and trust in the property.

I would strongly recommend that the hotel update its listings immediately to accurately reflect what is and isn’t available so future guests can make informed decisions.

Con - no staff at night, furniture worn off, no bathtub (I am okay with it), but the shower place is smaller than usual(I think it depends on the room you select - I selected a basic room).

There is no hot tub. The hot tub they are referring to is IN a room that costs more. One reason I give 3 stars, because we booked here for the hot tub.
Staff was friendly, room was clean, walking distance to different restaurants. A group of people were there and were hogging the fire pit every single night and bbq and were there for hours so no one else could enjoy it. Bed was not comfortable and tv didn't work at first but my daughter fixed it.

If I could’ve picked my room up and made it mine forever I would have. Everything looks brand new and was completely spotless. The bed was super comfortable, the shower was the perfect way to start and end my days. It was so quiet. The only “complaint” or suggestion- much better word. Is the bed was super squeaky in room 12. Not sure if something needs to be tightened or it’s warped, but I was alone on this trip and weigh under 160lbs. The labeled parking spaces were amazing! If I am ever back out this way, I will absolutely be back!

Also, you had the cutest and sweetest lady to check me in!!! She’s precious.

I don’t usually post reviews, but I wanted to share a few thoughts because I booked with certain expectations. Overall, our stay was great. We stayed in a suite with our family, and it was spacious and clean, which we really appreciated.

Upon arrival, we were informed parking was $11 per night. This wasn’t mentioned on any booking site I checked. Since we were already paying to stay, parking wasn’t limited, and the property wasn’t busy, the added fee felt unnecessary. Clear communication upfront would be appreciated.

I had specifically noted the importance of blackout curtains or drapes when booking, as light easily disrupts sleep for both my daughter and me. The room had wooden shutters, but there were large gaps that allowed quite a bit of light in—especially with the porch light shining through overnight which couldn’t be turned off. True blackout curtains would have made a noticeable difference.

The bathrooms were nice and spacious, but the large sink left very limited usable counter space for personal items. There also weren’t any hooks to hang towels, and additional shelving or a small bench would have made it much more functional, especially for placing a change of clothes (or whatever else) on for after showering.

I worked in hospitality for years, so I may be a bit detail-oriented, but it’s often the little touches that elevate a stay from good to great. Overall, we enjoyed our time and hope this feedback is helpful.
