• It was easy to check in and to check out.

“The motel was great, easy check in and check out. We were able to park right outside of the room. Everybody was friendly. They have a great waffle and juice and coffee breakfast. Make sure you get there early, the waffles go fast. There are microwaves and a refrigerator in the room.”

• Very big room.
• Nothing , will go back.

“The hotel was very easy to find. The looks on the outside and inside were great. The two queen side beds were very comfortable and the room was very big. We were only there for one night, but we are planning on return to stay longer.

• Easy access from highway.
• No in room coffee or clock. Excessive charges to change room type.

“Motel was not flexible, though they barely had anyone staying at that Motel and could have accommodated us. We will not stay there again!”

• It was an upscale Motel 6.
• Sandpaper were
  like towels.

“Nice motor lodge type of hotel, great free WiFi. Clean enough, as I stated, an upscale motel 6 with fridge and microwave, modern, and quiet. Not for your average biz traveler, unless they are expecting no frills. I would stay here again, no problem.”

• Convenient to freeway.
• Very basic.

“Water ran in bathroom toilet all night had to turn off at base. Parking was very tight, and none in front of room available, although we did check in quite late.”

• It had a bathroom and a bed.
• They charged me $20 more dollars cash for a extra bed. They said kids are free with adults. They thought that we were all going to sleep on the same bed.

“The beds were not comfortable, the room was not clean (my kids found a beer bottle, and used body wash in the shower.)
I had a room with no window.”

• Free breakfast, microwave, fridge, brand new bathroom.
• Almost nothing, maybe a little bit dust on bed board.

“Brand new bathroom and new towel are good. So is the free breakfast.”

• It had a fridge and microwave.
• Very loud guests - they clustered all guests - should have spread them out.

“Very noisy neighboring motel guests were up to about 4 am. I got no sleep. I will not go back.”

• Clean room, on same street with several chain hotels, nice decor, pastries for breakfast, easy check-in.
• Not close to cannery row.

“I would have stayed there more nights if I had been in the area longer and would stay there again for sure. I had good internet access too.”

• Inexpensive, close to highway in Monterey.

“Actually not a bad motel for a short stay. Close to the highway, and safe enough. A bit loud with thin walls, and the Adult Theater next door definitely does not do it any favors. Overall though, we were quite impressed with this Motel.”

• The distance to the attraction we visited.
• Room was dirty and sheets reused. Beds were really hard. Room was small for staying with children.

“I didn't like this hotel. The beds were rock hard. The first room we had, the toilet was backed up and the room smelled disgusting. When the housekeeping cleaned the room they reused sheets instead of putting fresh ones. We had left the light and heater on and went to have dinner, when we came back everything was off s someone was clearly in our room when we left! (and this was in the evening so it wasn't housekeeping). Would not stay here again!”

• Cheap and clean room and bed.
• Bath is not clean.

“The location is good because glocery store is close and not far away from downtown and aquarium. TV was broken (when turn on the TV, volume became max, so each time I need turndown the volume.”

• Very modern rooms in a motel built in the '60s.
• Breakfast area was
  too crowded.

“Delightfully, well updated rooms in an old, inexpensive motel. Good location in Monterrey, near Route 1 and all of the attractions.

• Conveniently located. Nice continental breakfast.
• No king size beds in any rooms and size of room rather small.

“This is an older motel. It appears to have had some renovation done in the last few years. The room was clean, but small with only queen size beds in all the rooms. They do have a nice continental breakfast.”
