Basic motel in Marina

Very basic motel providing basic amenities for a night's stay. The room was spacious, although a refurbishment would be nice. The "To Go" breakfast bag provided was rather a disappointment. We ended up paying a very high price for this hotel due to some local event going on at that time. Hence, the hotel was utterly not value-for-money for us.

We stayed here while day hiking Big Sur. Mostly were just here to sleep but it was great for that. The beds were comfortable, the wifi was super fast and the rooms were clean and quiet. The area felt safe too. I'd stay again.

I would rate this property equal to either Motel 6 or Super 8. No better or no worse. It is located behind, or is part of, a gas station. Check in is in the food mart of the gas station. It is conveniently located near a number of restaurants. Facilities are somewhat dated.

Clean, Simple, needs some updates

We did not get the food/snacks provided in the lobby, so I can't comment on that. I chose this location because the cost to stay in Monterey has increased significantly. The lobby is at the back of the convenience store located near the parking lot. There is no sign indicating where to check in, I saw an employee walk through the door and decided to follow. Desk clerk was very friendly and informative. They seem to be under new ownership, the building had some fresh paint and a few visual updates. It’s an older building, no elevator, only outside stairs and the hallway had a crib a fold away bed and other supplies left in it next to our door, we could also see into the backyard of the neighborhood behind the Inn. The beds were very hard, and the curtains and chairs absolutely need to be replaced. The curtains were hanging off the rail, and would not shut all the way, I had to pin them closed with two paper clips I had in my hand bag. The walkways are exterior and when they start cleaning service in the morning you can hear them pushing the carts down the concrete hallway. The room was clean, floors also very clean. Bedding and towels also very clean. I was worried about noise from the road but it was actually a very quiet night. I wouldn’t stay again as it’s wasn’t cozy enough for a long stay, it’s somewhere I would suggest after a late ballgame if I just needed to sleep before driving home the next day.

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.

They are in the middle of a renovation. I would consider staying here again after they finish. Breakfast was simple but included with stay. WiFi was slow but stable.
