Even though it doesn’t have heating or AC in the rooms it’s the cheapest option and it hasn’t failed me the 2 times I’ve stayed and if I need a hotel on my next visit it’ll probably be this one again.

Overall it's a nice place. Exhaust fan in the bathroom did not work (room 211). Sleeping with the patio door open because the rooms do not have AC is fine - except for all of the traffic noise on the main road.

We love that this property, although older, is located in a nice area and is very affordable. The area gives us a forest vibe, with the ocean within a 5 min drive.

Pleasant stay, not so great, needs improvement. The (my) room was somewhat dirty, meaning the rugs and carpet and the tiles at the bathroom was not up to standards, but overall, I enjoyed my stay in this motel.

One of Many Motels on Munras
Just another of about 20 hotels on Munras. I have stayed a few times when I am down for the AT&T golf tournament. Their TV channel lineup is poor (no golf channel which I want when I come in from a day of volunteering). Wish they would upgrade carpet to a plank floor - carpet always feels creepy. They ask if you need room service, and for 4 nights, I skip it. They have lots of coffee for the pot but no tea - they might have had some in the lobby - forgot to check. Not great, not bad, just fine.

Pleasant stay
Clean room with highly competitive price. No issue on noise from other rooms or road unlike other reviewers pointed out. Got a pre communication email that they don't have air conditioner, but they certainly do have wall heater so no problem. Wifi was fast enough so that we could enjoy YouTube. Overall, my family had a pleasant stay.

Convenient and reasonably priced for Monterey
The hotel was old but nicely kept up. The bed was too firm for me but if you like firm beds, you’ll be in hog heaven. The coffee was nothing special but it was in the room which is always nice. The hotel was quiet (if you don’t mind some road noise). Walkable to downtown Monterey (if you’re a walker like me).

One night stay in Monterey. Office staff was friendly, located in a nice area, not a lot of extras. No a/c but there was a large fan on a stand , which we used. Remodeled but not bathroom wall needed some attention.

The room looks very old and was smelling like smoke, even no smoking signs are posted all over the premises. They should really be honest when renting to a non smoker due to asthma,. The bathtub was very dirty and it needs to be well maintained and it had cracks and there were hairs from the previous guest. Lastly there were something crawling in the bed. The amount they charged it was not a good experience over all.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is an older property, but it seems to be reasonably well maintained. The owner/management clearly cares, with potted flowers spread around the grounds. The lack of air-conditioning might be a negative in the eyes of most, but all of the rooms had good cross-ventilation, and nights on the Monterey peninsula tend to be cool and there was strong, telescoping stand-mounted, 3-speed, selectable oscillation fan. The bathroom, particularly the tub, could benefit from a rehab, but it was clean. Towels were clean and plentiful, with travel-size soaps and shampoo provided. The room had a min-fridge, a working iron and ironing board, a television with DirecTV, a king-sized bed, desk and chair, two night stands and bed-side lights with controls that could be reached from the bed. I would stay at this property again.

Budget option in Monterey
This is a fine hotel in a decent location. We stayed over a weekend when hotel prices across the city were quite high- including this one. It's hard to feel that the quality reflected the price we paid but it was the cheapest option we could find so I think it was just unfortunate timing for us.

I didn't like that after I booked and paid for the hotel room. I get a message that pool and jacuzzi are closed indefinitely. No air condition in the room, but they did have a fan inside room that helped cool room. Non smoking hotel or outside premises you see people walk into the lobby and they not once mentioned to the lady to put out her cigarette.
