easy to get to, close to most things I wanted to d

Pros: location

Never again.

Located very close to a busy street. Dirty rooms. Bed had hair on pillow and sheets. I asked for new sheets and the ones given to me also had hair on them. Throw pillow on bed had a white stain. Grimy bathroom with hair in the sink. Holes and marks in baseboards, walls, and floor. TV was broken.

A nice, inexpensive motel

Pros: Clean, comfortable room and bed. Fast, free wifi. Microwave and mini fridge. Cable TV.
Cons: The room could do with a coffee maker.
Location: The Del Monte shopping center is almost next door. Only 8 minutes by car is Carmel-by-the-Sea. Downtown Monterey is just a mile away.
The Monterey Surf Inn is clean, friendly, relatively comfortable, and on Munras Street. The location puts it virtually next door to the Del Monte shopping center, and only a mile away from downtown Monterey. I was pleased with the cleanliness, services, and fast wifi connection.

A little late

I didn't notice their office closes at 11pm. Most hotels in the area are open late. I showed up after 11. No answer to my knocks, rings, and phone calls. I had the go to another hotel so I ate my room charge.

Just a place to sleep.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Cons: Poor breakfast
We just booked this place to sleep for a night while road tripping with the family. The check in took a long time because she couldn't find my reservation. The room was tiny. The bathroom was super tiny. It was close to everything. Forget about the breakfast...its a joke. There is a really good bakery down the street that is perfect for breakfast.
