Perfect Accommodations
The office personal checked me in, issued my room key and since I arrived a bit early, it was suggested by the nice lady in the office that I can either visit the Aquarium, Fisherman's wharf ,or Just hang around until the room was available (they were being cleaned when I arrived)... The aquarium, the Wharf, and local museums were in close proximity to the motel so I was able to sight see, shop, eat, visit the local banks, post office...... It was truly a pleasant experience.... I would HIGHLY recommend El Castell to anyone.

just OK
when I got in the room, around 10 flies were hanging around, I spent whole night killing them all, I bet some of the flies egg was left in the room, that's why there're so many of them. Breakfast doesn't provide napkins? It's a minor thing, but, it's like a no brainer.

Good Deal
My husband and I have stayed at the El Castell every September for the Jazz Festival and we have started staying there for other trips to Monterey. It is a basic, clean motel. We are alway too busy to spend a lot of time in a motel room and we don't need a fancy motel room when all we do is shower and sleep there. The staff is nice and accommodating.

El Castell - Aug Review
The amenities were fine for the price. The outside hallway was over lighted. Our first night was a difficult one. Management did fix the problem the next day and it was no problem

Mr. Cheapskate and family
Convenient short drive to Cannery Row
The first night was bad and we missed a lot of sleep due to drunken visitors in the rooms above us, and the manager said he tried but failed to keep them under control. Next two night were quiet and peaceful and saved the stay as far as we were concerned. other wise, a very basic hotel, but a good base for Monterey peninsula activities.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
This palce is in a row of Motels on N. Fremont St., so it would pay to check the price on all of to get a cheaper price.
