cozy and warm

when we arrived we were greeted by a very nice young lady. she quickly checked us into our room. we parked in a nice covered parking garage . our room was everything it was advertised and more.the spa was great the bed was perfect not like quite a few others we have stayed at in this area. breakfast was nice .there was quite a selection of pastries and bagels along with oatmeal and coffee and tea. We stayed here for 2 nights while we visited our son and his girlfriend in college. everyone here on staff was very friendly especially Arianna (i think that was her name)at the front desk, she was a wealth of information especially for those of us that are not natives to the area. This is a motel i would definitely refer to a friend and i would stay in the future..Thank you to the staff at the Mariposa

Pretty to look at, not much underneath

I have to say I was a little underwhelmed with this hotel. I booked it on a 2 week road trip as our 1 'extra nice' room to break up the average hotels we'd be staying at for longer. Everything looks really modern and clean, but there was a lot of road noise, the bathroom sink wasn't attached to the countertop, and the bed was on some sort of metal platform that made a lot of noise when you got in or out of bed, and slid away from the headboard if you tried to sit up in bed to watch TV or read. I know it's true of every hotel but the photos of the place make it seem a lot nicer than it is. There was complimentary bottled water, so that's a plus, but there was also a surly front desk worker who said in no uncertain terms that check in is at 3pm, not 2 pm or 2:30 pm, which I understand, he just could've been nicer about it. The continental breakfast was not on par with the Best Westerns we had stayed at earlier in the trip either, which seems odd since it costs so much more. It's not a bad hotel, but it's not worth $200 a night.

Nice Hotel, Good Location

Nice friendly, attentive staff. Breakfast area well stocked. Had a nice large room with fireplace that we used every night. Bathroom shower area could use some updating.

Great comfort, little price to pay

Although the hotel looks alright from the outside, the interior of the room as well as the amenities are comparable with 5 star hotel. While checking in, we saw the award winning signage in the lobby that indicates the hotel is great with only 20 staff members to achieve a new level of comfortness for the visitors of Monterey. I would definitely come back.

Small and loud

I had a ground floor room that was facing the main driveway and just feet from parking spaces. There was no seal on the door and the noise from cars coming and going was annoying. The room itself was really small, but the decor was decent. For the amount I paid, I expected more. I did enjoy the hot tub and pool.

Not a good experience at all.

1st-I booked it for $110 for one night and thats what was on my bill. They charged my card $250 and I'm still trying to get it refunded. 2nd- it was advertised as a smoking room, but the window latches had all been removed and could not open a window. With no ventilation I had to leave the room to smoke.

Delightful stay

A real gem at a great price. In-room fireplace on a chilly December night made it so cozy. Friendly, helpful staff. Good location across from mall but quiet. Nice breakfast. Will definitely return.
