Hotel is on a quiet street. Hotel staff is kind and helpful. Breakfast is okay, no hot food. The room is quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the Hotel is about a 10 minute walk to fisherman's warf and downtown.

Cute little Inn with only a few concerns

Great location and kind staff. Lobby and community space were very clean. Offered morning breakfast. In walking distance to downtown. Room was quiet and could hear a little brook outside our window. Room was decently clean. Bathroom was a little dated and could see a little mold on the ceiling. Bathroom sink also was a little clogged. Just a bit older of a room and needs an upgrade. But would stay there again- can’t beat that price and location.

The property was near fast food restaurants, Trader Joes, gas station. Appearance of the outside property on Expedia website does not totally match the actual appearance. Had to drive past a couple of times to make sure it was the same property. Staff was excellent and friendly. Continental breakfast offered a variety of foods, dining area clean and inviting.

Hidden Gem

Colton Inn is an unassuming-looking older motel, tucked into a residential neighborhood, mere steps from historic 19th century Monterey. My husband and I spent 3 very comfortable nights, enjoying the spacious room, comfortable bed, tasteful decor and helpful staff. I recommend Colton Inn, especially if you’re looking for a low-key and unique stay.

Quaint Stay

The location was a little off the beaten path, but the grounds were wonderful and everyone on staff that we interacted with was very pleasant. The room may have been a tad dated, but the mattress was so comfortable and have a nice sitting chair was a definite bonus. Our room had a microwave and a mini fridge, both of which were clean. The complimentary breakfast was simple, but did the job. We would stay here again.

Racist staff and property is outdated, worst experience staff rushes you out the door. They care about the money but not the experience. Rooms have no ac or proper heating. They say they address it but provide no customer service and trespass you off the property. I want my money back.
