Don’t stay here unless you absolutely have no other choice. Don’t believe the photos online. Good thing we only stayed 1 night. The neighborhood is quiet. When we got there I went to the office which needs a much needed makeover. The gentleman at the counter must live there because office door was open to living. What a mess. Then we get to our room. It had a terrible order. Furniture is all old and chipped and mattress didn’t fit the bed frame. Tv wouldn’t turn on. The floor was very sticky as well as the tv control. Tub had parts broken, lamps had no lampshade. The front door looked as someone tried to get in with screwdriver all banged up. Walls looked as if they hadn’t been painted since it was built. There were big holes in baseboards and we didn’t have any towels. I would not recommend this motel! And it definitely way over priced at 179.00 a night. Don’t always believe the photos posted. Read all the reviews before you book.

This is a very run down old motel that appears to have not been updated ever, including the computer system when checking in. I was the only one checking in & it took at 15-20 minutes for the man to write out my info. The mattresses are very very old & springy. The sheets were covered in hair & nothing in the room seemed to be cleaned thoroughly, so we went to the local Costco & bought bedding, a comforter & pillows as the room didn’t feel clean at all. The room smelt like someone smoked a few packs of cigarettes in it for weeks & we left the window open & put on AC but couldn’t rid the smell. The positives are the location as there were plenty of food places in the surrounding areas & that no one bothered us with noise or anything else.

Avoid!! I stayed here as a last minute same-day booking cause there wasn’t much else available that wasn’t $300+/night. Made the incredibly dumb mistake of thinking the 4.6 rating was out of 5 and not 10, in part because how could anywhere that’s $150/night (Saturday price) be this bad. The sheets had sand and hair in them and weren't even fitted sheets, just flat sheets draped over plastic covered mattresses. All walls and doors were stained and some had holes/damage. Cigarette burns in sheets, walls and window curtain (even though a “non smoking” room). Burn hole in curtain was “patched” with a sparkly children’s sticker. Floors were dirty to the point we didn’t want to be barefoot at all. Door peep hole was stuffed with a tissue (why?). TV was just propped against the wall without a stand or fastener. Mini fridge didn’t work. Water took ten minutes to get warm (I only left it running that long with the thought that I might use a lack of hot water to get my money back). Shower curtain had black spots (mold?). Did not in any way feel clean or completely safe. The only way we made it thought the night was by using our camping sleeping pads that we thankfully had and keeping the heater on so we wouldn’t have to use their blankets. How this place even has 4.6/10 is beyond me. Guy/owner at the front desk seemed nice? He’s either a fraud or just in way over his head with this mess of a place.

If I could give them NO STARS I would. Room was very dirty. I wish I could upload the pictures I took. Floors, toilet (around the toilet was leaking) , bathroom was unexceptionable! The shower had mold !!! Black mold . Like they never cleaned it . The bedding was old and had holes in it . The mattresses were both stained. The heater was broken . The curtains ripped and falling off . All around very gross! The owner wanted us to stay . Acted like he gave us a good deal and his place was maintained. He wouldn’t give us a refund or even a partial. At that point we just left. Booked 2 nights stayed for maybe 5 hours just to rest up. Luckily we brought our own sheets . Don’t recommend. Find something else .

It all depends on context. I visited this property during Monterey Car Week when even the Motel 6 is a $600 a night investment. The motel has a very convenient location and the staff was great with 24 hour per day on site security ensuring that the place was as safe as possible. With all that said, the rooms are outdated and a bit worn, though relatively clean. During MCW, I have stayed at places running the entire gamut from $1800 a night to motels like this. Overall, I think the value was great and I would recommend this during those high leverage occasions when the budget doesn't permit spending several thousands of dollars for what is a bed for a few hours a night. As long as your eyes are open and expectations realistic, it wasn't a horrible experience.

I’m surprised that Expedia is listing this as one of the properties. I’ve been to third world country’s with better and cleaner accomodations. Room smelled like smoke, the bedspread had cigarette burn holes in them. The sheets looked like they haven’t been washed, wires sticking out of the walls and paint is peeling of the rooms. We checked in then checked out. It ruined our weekend stay.

I guess you get what you pay for. This motel is actually inhabited by some longer term guests. The guy in the next room went back and forth between making phone calls and watching TV, both at max volume until 4am. We had to walk to Walgreens for earplugs. Everything is dirty or stained, from floor to ceiling including the linens and towels. Those are the things that were important to me (a quiet place to sleep and a clean atmosphere). As for the things less important, but equally as terrible- TV color all yellow, no cups in the room, no ice machine. Woke up to a fire truck and ambulance at 5am. Glad they were there to help someone struggling, hope he’s okay. Needless to say, if you have more than $150/night to spend, do it!

I was really disappointed in this stay. When we arrived, there was a security officer outside who seemed to later be dealing with some commotion with one of the people staying in the property. When we got to our unit, the light in the bathroom didn't work, the bed looked like it was picked up as a free item from the streets and felt like it was going to fall apart, there was no warm water from the sink (we decided we didn't want to take showers here), there was only 1 towel even though we were a party of 2, and it felt pretty unsafe. It was very noisy and throughout the night there were people walking/running up and down and someone who started yelling at 2am while 1-2 people chased him. I would not have stayed here if I was a solo female traveler- would feel very unsafe. The posted signs about the rules in the room made it seem like this was a recuperation facility (alc/drugs?). I have never stayed in a worst place. I stayed here for a race in Monterey the next day, but barely slept. Really disappointing.

Check in was fairly normal, receptions asked me three times for my name and after not “finding” me I gave him my ID card then he “found” me. He kept saying another name thinking I was that person. Paint was coming off the walls, pillows were so flat you needed to use both just to feel like you had a pillow. Towels were barely large enough to cover yourself. Having nextflix was nice. Someone came knocking on our door just before 10 to ask if we were checking out that day. Check out was at 11 and we booked just one night. I don’t know if I would stay there again but they need to invest in their basics and update their rooms.

Economy Inn Monterey, Don’t Go

Hate to be negative but Hotels.com should pull this one off the list. Where do I begin. Patch job walls with no paint, Holes in floor, wouldn’t dare take a shower in the moldy shower (I don’t know if I am up to date on all of my vaccines). Sheet’s were clean. Staff was nice but that didn’t make up for the lack of maintenance to the room. I know it’s a budget hotel but budget some money for upkeep…

This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.

Room was very smelly and dirty.

The room had a terrible stale smoke (and other) odor. Parts of the room were very dirty. The bedding look old and used. See attached pictures. I did not stay the night but, luckily was able to book a room in a nearby hotel through Hotels.com.
I will be requesting a refund from Hotels.com.

The paint was peeling off the walls. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work. There were no towels in the room after I checked in, so I had to go and find someone and ask for them. The office was locked and no one was available to check me in when I arrived.

The worst hotel I've ever seen! I don’t know why Expedia even offers this hotel.
The room wasn't cleaned when I checked in. When I finally got the room the room was disgusting. I've stayed in better hotels in Mexico. There were cigarette burns on the sheets. The locks on the door were broken ! There wasn't a smoke detector. The room was still dirty. There were holes and patches everywhere. There were boot marks on the door. The room smelled liked cigarettes.
The manager would not give us a refund.
DO NOT STAY HERE !!!!!!

Adventures in last min hotel bookings due to work!

Well ….this was the only place available on an emergency type work trip on a holiday weekend…check in staff was great. The price was definitely right considering I booked the night before on a holiday weekend and it was in Monterey. The next decently affordable hotel was 20+ mi away.

Parking was available but not much and the parking lot is incredibly awkward.

Rooms were something…glad we were there for only one night. Major disrepair everywhere. Furniture was beat up, scratched, water damaged and every room smelled like old smoke. Tub spigot was detached by a good 2 inches from wall, I didn’t bother taking a shower. TV wouldn’t turn on. AC was lukewarm. One of the beds (2 full size in room) didn’t have sheets. No bed bugs though, so that’s positive . Fast food Trash outside my room. A guy who just got out of jail was there walking around asking to crash in one of our rooms…fun!

All in all, pretty janky place, I’ll definitely never stay there again unless under extreme circumstances. At least I’ll know what I’m getting into.

Good luck out there!

Like a half-way apt from a detective movie.

The good: Shower was nice and hot with great water pressure.
The bad:
The floor wasn't finished, there was a gap that showed the subfloor. The window curtains won't stay closed, I had to hold it down with some bags. Room reeks of smoke although it's supposed to be non-smoking. The furniture is falling apart. One bath towel and one face towel and not floor mat supplied. Door has no secondary security mechanism. Box spring just sitting on the floor. Lights needed to be messed with to work. The mattress is uncomfortable. Brought my own pillow.

Great place for a quick overnight stay for rest without paying outrages rates. Super dirty rooms and tiny parking lot. Room smelled like bleach the entire night. I loved the outside look of the hotel because it looks like a small motel in a small town kinda vibe but the inside is in terrible conditions. You really do get what you pay for so don’t expect a 5 star hotel for the price you pay.

Horrible, Police Called Code Enforcer

Mold, blocked stairwell, manager was rude and screammed at vustomers. Refused to return deposit with no cause. Police called and said he has a long history of doing this so the cjty wants him shut down. The deposit is now a civil matter and he is alleged to be a meth user. His behavior certainly reflects this. Never have I ever experienced a stay like this.

This property should not be allowed to be in business. The rooms are dirty: door and door jab riddled with dirt. Inside of door lock had no cover with wires hanging out. The bathroom shower has a vise grips as the handle, greasy. The bathroom sink faucet does not have a handle. I asked for a different room. The next room was no better. There was loud tv and music, passed 1am. I had a reservation for 3 nights. In the morning I checked out due to the dirty and loud hotel. The manager was rude and made me pay for the 3 nights. He is not the type of person I feel safe arguing with, I just wanted to get far away from this place as fast as possible. As we are in a COVID pandemic, I do not understand how this hotel is allow to be open. Shame on Expedia for having this hotel on their website.

When I went to check in at about 9pm on Friday, no one was available to check me in. The place looked dirty. People appeared to be living there. The gentleman who eventually agreed to check me in was sleeping in a room next to the office. I decided not to check in and asked him to cancel my remaining days. I also asked him for a refund. He would do neither. I left and stayed at a different hotel

This place was disgusting, a real slum. This type of property shouldn't even be on the site, or you should be warned to have all your shots up to date. This is the second location I found on Expedia that I was literally scared to stay at. If it was more than just a place to sleep for the night I would have canceled and demanded a refund.

So the property is being remodeled and the smell of paint burned my eyes and made me choke. The toilet seat was broken and coming off. There was no closet area for hanging clothes. There were wholes in blankets and pillow cases. Had to ask for a garbage can. No screen on the window that we had to leave open due to the paint smell. The drapes were falling off the window. The lampshades had stuff splattered on them.

The room did not look anything like the photographs, the beds were very uncomfortable, old bedding with holes, headboard was a painted piece of wood that were screwed to the wall. Claims free HBO were false, very few channels and power and volume had to be done on the TV not remote, it would not be so bad if the buttons were not covered in thick sticky guck. Chair in the room was filthy. We felt like if we were staying in a hotel in a third world country

You get what you pay for. I was not expecting much for $49, and was not disappointed. Beds are ancient, as is the room. Everything was clean and safe; that was all that mattered to me for a quick night's sleep. I would not make this part of a longer term vacation though.

Improving gradually

I've stayed at the Economy Inn several times in the past few years. It is an older establishment that can be an \"adventure\" sometimes. They have recently made some noticeable improvements , such as replacing the old mechanical door locks with modern electronic locks, and upgrading the televisions. I always expect a few difficulties, but it does seem to be gradually improving over-all . For example, the hair dryers have almost always been non-working in the past, and yet my room had a fully functional hair dryer this time 😄 The outside of the building also has a new coat of paint. If they're not careful, the Economy Inn might gain a star or two eventually .
