The room for our family of 6 was very nice and cosy. The 2 separated room had both their acess to the bathroom which was very convenient. Pool area is nice. Only downside was that our room was facing the electric gate of the county fairground across the road and each time a car enter it loudly beep multiple time than come the loud noise of the gate moving. Does same thing when it closed moments later, it kept doing it until late and started again very very early. On top of that you can hear multiples planes taking off and landing from the close by airport. Price was a little steep for a motel. Despite the noise we really liked the room

Nice for the price
Good, budget-friendly, no frills place for exploring the Monterey area. The only issue we had was the road noise, including what sounded like a garbage truck at 5AM both mornings we were there.

Wasn’t restful
The room had basic amenities. It was clean. The air conditioner was loud, woke us each time it went on. The facility is in a flight pattern so plane noise was quite loud.

I will never buy from Hotel.com again.
I will never buy through Hotels.com. I have to change my dates at the last minute and they charged me a full rate for 2 days to change it. Then I had to cancel cuz we all got sick and they wouldn’t refund any of my money. So I basically paid for 4 nights of stay when it was all said and done with no ability to actually go and stay.

The Apartment was clean and the beds were really clean. The room provided free coffee and a very spacious bathroom. the room was very nice aside from the smell of an old man. Overall it's pretty good. The area around it isnt too pretty, however it is extremely close to MRY airport great for anyone getting off the plane.

Property was clean and quiet. Only complaint is that when the hotel is full, parking is difficult because the stalls are narrow, and some guests are inevitably bad parkers, making neighboring stalls unusable. Location is pretty central to most things in the area (food, attractions, airport). For families with younger children, check out Dennis the Menace Playground nearby--one of the best play areas I've ever seen.

Looking at the property from the outside we were surprised how roomy and nice the rooms were. It had great amenities, a fridge and microwave, fluffy towels and comfortable bedding. The pool was very clean, warm and not over chlorinated. There was plenty of parking. The only downside was the occasional revving of car engines but then it was car week in the Monterey area which ended up being a fun treat. We would stay here again.

The Motel is old but relatively well-kept. The rooms are tiny but in fair to good condition. It is better than a Motel 6, but not by much.

We enjoyed our three nights stay at this property. The rooms are a little dated very clean. The coffee maker work, but we expected that based on reviews that we read before we arrived. There is limited parking. If you arrive late at night, it’s possible there will not be a parking spot for you. Definitely worth what we paid and we would stay here again. Very friendly Young lady at the front desk when we checked in. She also recommended Monterey cookhouse across the street, which is about a three minute walk. The food and staff there were excellent. We ate there twice in Three days. Highly recommend that place and the Monterey Fish House. Sit at the bar if you can.
