Don't waste your money here. I don't know how they managed to attach Best Western to their name, but it definitely doesn't meet the standards for any chain hotel I've stayed in. Dirty floors with floor boards coming apart, dirty and dusty walls, mildew and water damage in the bathroom. The walls were paper thin and you could hear everything in the adjoining rooms. People were out smoking and drinking on the steps outside our room until close to midnight. If I hadn't prepaid for this room, we would have never stayed.

Front desk and staff were nice, and the free breakfasts were a nice touch considering there isn't much dining options in the area. It could get a little crowded the 2nd hour, but going before the rush was a chill experience. Room smelled mildewy the entire time we were there despite tryingt o air it out, but overall, the sheets were clean, mattress was comfy, and the kitchenette area was useful. Shower was lukewarm at best and there was no hot water at the sink, which was a bummer. Overall, a good budget hotel if you get a good price and have low expectations. It's a little outside of downtown Monterey, so there were limited options as far as dining.
