A very nice room at a great price. Nicely furnished, Spotlessly clean. Christmas at the Adobes and this motel made a great modestly priced get away. Across the street from the best Macy's on the central coast.

Christmas at the Adobes, put on by California State Parks, is a once a year chance to see inside Monterey's historic adobes. Docents dress in costume, serve cookies, punch and coffee, Tell about the buildings, furnishings, and historic residents. A lot of fun and very informative. A fun way to introduce kids to some history. Make your plans for next year.

A diamond in the rough.

I would NEVER have thought from passing through that this would be such a great little hotel! The reason I stayed here was to use as a studio to prepare for a model shoot I was doing that day. Just for us to get cleaned up and for my model's hair to get done. So I did not stay overnight. But I think it would've been fine. It's not the Hilton. And that's perfectly fine since I don't need the 5-star accommodations where I go. But for the price you pay, it's an excellent value. This feels more like a villa rather than a hotel. It has a very homey feel. There are tables & chairs located in areas where you can wait outside your room. The staff/owners are extremely nice. Staying in Carmel cost AT LEAST 2x as much, but then you are right in-between that and Monterrey. So that has it's advantages too. If the 'Villa' was a LITTLE more put together, I would've given this place a 5-Star in a big way. It's welcoming, comfortable, good location and an amazing deal. I will DEFINITELY consider staying here next time I'm in the area.

Great for the money

We have stayed here many times over the past four years. The management is always attentive and dependable. The rooms are surprisingly modern, quite comfortable, and reasonably quiet despite being on a busy road. The location provides quick driving access to all area attractions. We will visit again.

Great restaurants are plentiful with our highest recommnedation for PassionFish in Pacific Grove and the "C" at the InterContinental in Monterey. Additionally, the best sandwiches in the world are made at Compano's on Prescott in Monterey.

good location for Pebble Beach concours weekend events

quiet and clean. They double the rate for this special weekend, but well inline with similar motels because they all do it! Breakfast area is tiny, so we enjoyed breakfast at several good places

Beware!! rip off, double charged

first of all my wife is fitting cancer and I reserved a room for us to stay for 1 night after our visit to stanford hospitol, when we got there the room we reserved was rented and they told us the other room would not be ready for 3 hours, so I had to go find another hotel because my wife gets tired and has to lay down, well they charged our card anyway even though we didnt stay, so at a later date we gave them another chance because the rates are resonable and we were going to stay for 2 days, the first night we got a call that our son was in an auto wreck and we had to leave the next morning I told the women at front desk about what happened when we got home and got bill she charged us for both nights this hotel is a rip off Beware!!!!!!!

Clean and comfortable!

Hotel is easy to get to, easy check-in and check-out, very clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful - with info about area restaurants and directions to area attractions. Amenities were adequate and in good condition (little fridge, microwave, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, alarm clock, place to hang clothes, air conditioner/heater, desk, TV, etc.). This was not a luxury hotel, however everything was very clean, comfortable and in good working order.

You Get What You Pay For

Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. We had to wait for staff to check us in and to check us out. While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, it needs work. There is no insulation to help block out any sounds. Our room was by the stairs so we heard every step up and every step down. People yelling at 1:20am. Elephants walked above us. When upstairs took a shower, it sounded like a waterfall in our room. Finally, the toilet ran every 45-60 minutes.

There are many things to do in Monterey and the surrounding areas. We were there for a half marathon in Carmel and enjoyed the Andrew Molera State Park.
