Pros are good location good customer service and good price. Cons are horrible bed that was sinking, loose toilet that wobbled,cheap towels,cheap soap, and the shower pressure was not great. All in all budget friendly but I would probably not book this place again.

Surf’s Up in Monterey
My first time staying at The Monterey Surf Inn and it was a Good Stay. Room was nice & bed was very comfortable. No towel racks in the bathroom which was annoying & no rubber mat in shower as I almost slipped twice. Motel had a great location. Also parking lot was littered with trash & cigarette butts which should be cleaned on a daily basis. But I’ll definitely be back.
