Signs are not up yet---have to find it behind the Gulf station. Breakfast isn't---you get a lunch sack with a yogurt and a granola bar. Coffee for guests is in one thermal pot---better coffee is available for purchase. Location is excellent.

We were treated poorly. The property is sometimes called Monarch Valley Inn and sometimes called Howard Johnson inn. Signs were on the ground, leaning against the wall, not even put up to help you see them.

It was a convenient location. They were renovating the property so finding someone to assist you was difficult but when you did they were helpful. We asked for a roll a way and it was rusted and mattress was not at all comfortable. They did not charge us for it so we appreciated that. They only cleaned our room one day during our several day stay. It was clean when we arrived but we just needed our trash taken out so we did it ourselves. We did feel safe while there.

Friendly Staff and Convenient Location

The front desk was a bit difficult to find and located in an unusual spot, but the young man at reception was very friendly and helpful. We stayed for two nights, though housekeeping did not service our room during that time. The location is convenient, only about 15 minutes from Monterey, which helps explain the higher rate, though the room itself felt a bit underwhelming for the price. Overall, it was a good experience.

My family and I arrived around 8pm for check in and was greeted by a man with blondish hair who was extremely friendly and gave great recommendations for things to do in Monterey Bay! He also told us to stop by in the morning for breakfast! My family and I were driving Hwy 1 and stopping in cities along the way. In the am, I came in for breakfast with 2 children! A man was seated at a desk and a woman was standing close to the desk. I stood there awkwardly for about 45 seconds waiting for a greeting, then I told them I was here for breakfast! The woman began asking me, “ Are you staying with us? What room are you in? How did you know about breakfast?” I was standing there with hungry children and responded, “ Is this how you treat your guests that stay at your hotel?” I then gave my name and the room number and proceeded to take out my room key. The woman gave me banana, yogurt, and granola bars. There was no apology, no kindness, or anything for the rude apathetic behavior, and after spending $200 on a room for a night, there’s no reason to treat a mother and her children that way!

This place is in the parking lot of a gas station. Breakfast is served in a paper bag. Loud people at the gas station in the middle of the night. Complete disappointment.

I was very disappointed

There was no breakfast nook like it was shown in the pictures. The office area was inside a gas station convenient store. It was a breakfast bag on the go. The reason I picked it was because of the picture of the little breakfast area. I feel like that is false advertising. They should show recent pictures of what it looks like. The picture I was not impressed especially on how much I paid for this room.
This is what they consider a breakfast. You don't even get to pick what you want.
