I think everything was excellent except the a/c and heater need to be updated. Some remodeling of the room with new carpet or flooring would be nice also. The room and bathroom was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The man working there, Andy, was very friendly and accommodating.

A nice hotel for a quick get-away w our grandson and dog. Very economical. Only complaint, the walls are very thin and noisy kids woke us up at 6:30

Simple
Simple clean room, thin walls so you can hear everything but it was fine at night. The only issue I had was the door doesn’t have a deadbolt, just a lock on the knob and it didn’t seem too safe. Everything was clean though and nice for the price

Excellent for the price and location!
This place is definitely family owned! I'm not sure if the older gentleman was the owner or manager but he had his granddaughter waiting for a video call from overseas ❤️ it was so sweet! They have doggie biscuits for your vacationing furry family members. There is also the sweetest cutest little dog there sometimes! The lobby smells lovely, like incense and roses. The room was on the smaller side but you absolutely cannot beat it for the price and the location. It has a nice little wall heater that kept us toasty and we had no issues with the TV reception or the WiFi.Very very clean with attentive housekeeping! It's right across the street from Del Monte Center, and DMC is basically THE mall for the Monterey Peninsula. Be prepared for a little noise, this is right next to the biggest shopping center in the area and it's an older property so the walls are thinner. But it's entirely worth it. We will definitely be staying here again!

This is the cutest older motel around. I called and told them we would be in late, so they arranged for our key to be in a lockbox. The room is cute, I love love love the fireplace, it is gas, so no smoke smell. It is very quiet and the staff was super friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

rooms were okay, a little outdated. you got two small bottles of water and snacks which was cute. the a/c for some reason was located in the bathroom and didn’t really work. they had an old school fan in the room so that means they acknowledge that the ac doesn’t work well lol. parking is tight but otherwise ok.

We were so impressed with this property! We had a king sized bed with a fireplace in our room on the first floor - what else could anyone want? The property itself has abundant, beautiful flowering plants all around it, some of which my groundskeeper-husband had never seen before. If we ever come back to this side of the country, we'll stay here, no doubt. The owner/manager and staff were extremely helpful as well. Thanks so much!

We loved the Monterey Pines Inn. The location is great, as it's close and convenient both to tourist sites and the highway. Our room was clean, comfortable, and the fireplace was great! The staff is especially welcoming and very helpful. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good place to stay in beautiful Monterey.

Great Value in Monterey!
Flooring/Carpet was soft to the feet. The pillows wete wonderful - even extra pillows without asking. Fireplace worked great. Very hot water - which was very appreciated on a rainy day. These older motels on Munras are often a bit funky, but location is on a bus line if you don't want to hike back uphill from the beach area. You will hear the occasional sirens as the street is a fairly busy one. No elevator to second floor, but the room was a great place to relax and get a good night's sleep!
