A horrible experience that traumatized my wife and kids. Unfortunately, we are BW members. The receptionist #1 rejected our request for an hour late checkout, which is normally geanted ar any hotel we stayed in the last 25 years. Then she threatened us to call the police only for asking her to provide her name on a paper. As a result, we rushed out and forgot an expensive shoes at the room. She indicated her manager's name is #2, but when we called, #3 picked up and said he's the manager alongside #2. #3 could not resolve any of these issues. We called back to speak to #2, he on the other hand said he's just a receptionist, not a manager and I should call the customer care for BW.

Parking was a problem. The hotel and the McDonald's share the same parking lot, so if you go out for an event as we did, when you get back to hotel it is a problem because traffic going into the McDonalds drive thru is blocking the entrance to get into the parking lot to the hotel.

Larry, Peter, Fernando and Patel at the front desk were the sweetest kindest friendliest front desk staff I’ve come across in a very long time. The room was very clean just an average hotel room. But as soon as it turned 10:01 they would not let us make a waffle but other than that 10 out of 10 would recommend going again just because of the excellent customer service at the front desk!

The young man that checked us in and out was very friendly. Provided us with water which we really needed! The room was very clean! The food was not the best. Sausage was undercooked, waffle batter was chunky and didn’t cook correctly. Coffee was horrible it tastes like overused coffee grounds. The gal that was maintaining it seemed annoyed by people touching anything after she just cleaned. She offer for in the way if guests trying to serve themselves! I ate the waffles but put place an order at McDonalds for the trip home!

Good property with helpful staff to make your stay comfortable. The breakfast area gets busy quickly due to a small space but the staff handled everything efficiently to keep things moving. Rooms are clean which is always good to see & McDonald's is right across the property. Parking fills up pretty fast due to that.

We had a great experience during our stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and professional. We had a king room and it was spacious, quiet, and had all the amenities necessary for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient, with easy access to the highway and nearby food. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, making the entire experience stress-free.

We stayed here for a short visit and mainly chose it for convenience and availability. Nothing about the stay necessarily stood out, but sometimes that is perfectly fine. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked as expected, which made for an easy and stress free stay.
The staff was pleasant, and the property felt well maintained overall. We did not have the chance to try breakfast, so we cannot comment on that.
While this was not the kind of hotel that leaves a lasting impression, it was dependable, comfortable, and served its purpose well. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

I stay here every time I visit Monterey area. Extremely quiet, staff are great, always a great experience. Breakfast could be better, but McDonald is 5 steps away.

Adequately Clean and Comfortable

Our stay at the Best Western was comfortable and adequate. We usually stay in slightly more upscale hotels so it was a bit less luxurious than some of our typical stays. However, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. A couple of things we didn’t like very much were: 1) you have to turn on the noisy fan if you want to turn on the bathroom light 2) the sink area is right next to the sleeping area, with no door or divider in between. That makes it impossible for one guest to wash up if other guests are sleeping. Our window on the thirdf floor was right next to a bright and noisy In N Out Burger. But with the curtains and the window closed, it didn't bother us at all. It was nice to be able to open the window anyway, if we wanted to.

This was really a very nice local stay. My only issue was how hard the bed was. They were kind enough to give me more pillows to soften it up. My husband was not bothered. Staff was fantastic, so clean, very nice building and room.

Pretty much excellent! The only issue was the hand-held shower. It was so powerful that it could take someone’s eyeballs out. No place to have it installed like a shower. No adjustments to be able to stand underneath it and take a good shower. Please have both installed shower in the room or if it is for elderly,
1. have a place to anchor it.
2. Repair it to allow for softer water jet coming from the shower head.

A good choice for car week

Best combination, I thought, between economics and location during Monterey car week. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the included breakfast was filling enough to start the day. Location was close to 101 freeway, but the noise was acceptable from my room. Also, it was close to In 'n Out, a couple of minutes of walking, which was a bonus. And neighborhood was not an issue. All in all, a good choice.

The staff was accommodating and helpful, especially in offering suggestions for local tourist spots. I appreciate the little hospitality touches (water, tea, coffee available 24/7) and the convenience of the ice machine. Breakfast area was spotless and the selection offered a great variety. Wish a more neutral news channel or the Weather Channel could have been on the TV. Fox was hard to swallow in the morning.
