The room was exactly as pictured. Clean, recently renovated (I stayed at this property back in a day when it was Comfort Inn). Location is great. Bed (mattress) and pillows could be of better quality.

1. Furniture is outdated. Chest with drawers is taking up all the space in a room. The matte door to the bathroom offers no privacy. Pillows are small and lumpy and of terrible quality. And they charge 10 dollars a day for the parking spot if you didn't book directly with them. What?!? I have never heard of that! It's a motel with plenty of parking spots! Absolutely shameful practice to make extra money.

The room was a decent size, especially the bathroom. Also, though the hotel was not close to the "main scene", we were still able to walk to downtown for dinner the both evenings we were there. Given we were out most of the day while we were in Monterey, the hotel suited our purpose.

Though the room was clean, there was a strong odor of cleaning products that never really dissipated. Also the coffee machine had an old filter with old coffee that was still left in it.

Well kept room, good size, reasonable value for the price.

Having to pay a separate parking fee in a motel, where you most likely need a car is irritating to me. If you need to raise the price, do it. This is obviously a marketing ploy. There actually is a sidestreet by the motel where one could park free, but that is ,obviously, not stated.

Very easy to get to and a short drive to downtown Monterey, which is a delightful place to stroll for breakfast or a drink. The staff were friendly. The room was adequate and enough space for a pack-n-play for our infant to sleep.

It has gotten progressively more expensive to stay anywhere in Monterey, but relative to the facilities (essentially a motor inn/motel) value wise it was rather expensive.

The staff is great. The location is very good too. The facilities are very clean. The rooms are very comfortable.

The parking is not included and you will have to pay 10 USD per night. That wasn't clear in the time of making the reservation. Taking those 10 USD into consideration, there might be other options that are better.

Lovely pool and bbq areas. Absolutely beautiful garden beds. Walkable to town. On-site parking. Large room.

Very dirty floor in room. Not visibly dirty but our socks were black when walking around in room. It would trail into the bathroom and turn the floor black if it was wet. Room leak on the last day from shower above. Surprised by on site parking charge. I guess it was in the fine details when I booked, which I missed. Seemed strange to be changed parking fees when they had a private lots in this strip motel.

clean and nice, the shower was very good, it was very quite as well. Finally a motel where the sink is inside the bathroom and not in the living room.

Some of the rooms (like ours) are a lower floor than the parking so there was a small flight of stairs which we did not expect. It's located quite far from the main city part so you have to drive to reach anywhere, also easy driving

The room was clean, bed was comfortable, parking lot was easily accessible, pool area was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby and the landscaping around the facility were clean and nice looking. It was also nice and quiet at night, no disturbances.

The shower curtain didn't keep the shower water from getting all over the bathroom floor even with a towel down. It either needed to be longer or they need some sort of lip at the edge of the shower to keep the water in. The coffee pot in the room needed to be clean a little better and descaled. I didn't utilize the coffee because of this.

The room was absolutely beautiful—clean and super comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the high-quality shampoo and soap, which isn’t something you always get. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations, with an incredible value for the price and great facilities. The staff was so kind and made check-in easy, even though we arrived later than planned. Plus, the included parking was a big bonus. Such a lovely place—I’d definitely stay here again!

staff was very friendly, very clean, quiet, easy parking

having to pay for parking, cleaning woman came into our room as we were moving our things out so did not notice a bag behind the door she had open. Now have to pay to have the quite heavy bag of Christmas gifts shipped to us which will likely cost more than the gifts. Cleaning staff should not enter a room until people are finished completely moving out of it.
