stayed here again. this is a good quality motel. and the price for monterey is very reasonable. the rooms are fairly compact but nice none the less. the motel is only about 5-10 mins walk from the wharf and there are decent restaurants and bars within the same walking time. you do get a very basic free continental breakfast which is enough to get you through to lunch time. the rooms and hotel as a whole are not what you would call fancy or luxurius but for the price it was spot on. if like us you are out ad about all day enjoying things and only need somewhere to lay your head at the end of the day then this place is ideal. the hotel are building an extension so this may be more upscale in the future. would go back again as the value you get for your money is great.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. Check-in time was 3:00 pm but we have a morning flight so we got there around 10:00. The front desk told us to call back at 1:00 to see if we can check in. We head over Fishermann's Wharf and just walked around the city. We went back to the hotel at 1:00 and was able to check-in. The room was clean with coffee maker, refrigerator and fireplace. We didn't really use the fireplace. We stayed for 3 nights. We booked our flight, hotel and car through expedia so I don't know exactly how much we paid for the hotel room. I know that the price is worth it. We definitely recommend it. It is kind of noisy so if you're sensitive to noise then you might as well find another hotel but as far as service and room plus breakfast, it's great! We will definitely stay there if we get to come back to Monterey.

Granted, I was in Monterey on business not pleasure, but this hotel did nothing to help with relaxation at the end of a long day. I checked in around 3 pm to a parking lot full of construction...which was not mentioned when I made the reservations. Room turned out to be right next to the construction with my bathroom window opening onto the construction itself. Found it very warm in my room when I checked in and found that there was no air conditioning and had to open the windows just to let some breeze in, only to let the construction noise and dust in as well...was told later by a local that air conditioning is not a standard feature anywhere in the Monterey Pennisula area. Hotel hasn't had a good interior overhall in probably 10 years...bed spreads are at least that old. There is a mini fridge, sink and coffee maker in the room however and free wi-fi. Walls are paper thin as I could hear the street from inside my room as well as the neighbors on the other side. Continental breakfast was supposed to be served and ready at 7 am, which I needed as I had to leave for meetings by 7:30. Coffee wasn't put out until well after 7 and only bananas and croissants followed after that--all of which were promptly gobbled up by the construction workers who were loitering in the lobby area before beginning work. I don't know if more was put out later as I had to leave with just a weak cup of coffee to make it to work on time.

We got a reservation for a room for a night from a local service called resort2me (which is a free service to find hotels in monterey) and also got a 15% discount on it. Great value hotel, very clean, they even allowed us to checkin early (we reached at 1230 and didnt realise that we were too early). The room is decent sized one with a balcony and a nice warm fireplace. The internet connection was pretty good. The only problem we found was the room was a little difficult to reach - too many winding steps and there was water in one place which made the stairs quite slippery. But over all great experience, value for money, close to downtown Monterey (lot of eating places around). close to fishermans wharf. Not the best of places if you want to stay right on the water but around 5-6 blocks from the Bay. Ample parking place in the hotel parking, heated pool.

Comfortable rooms, clean and friendly staff. It is in a great location and easy walking to Fisherman's wharf and Cannery Row. This is is convenient because Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf charges for all parking.
