There were good and not so good things about this Inn. I would never stay here again, however. The good- the bed was nice and to our liking. The temperature and lighting were good. The check in process was simple and easy. It was close to restaurants, breweries and the Tesla supercharger. The bad-- the last thing we wanted to have to worry about was parking after a long drive and day on the beach. When we got back at 10pm, all the spots were taken. We had to wake up at 6am the next morning to move our car. The room was clean but it was so incredibly aged. Things were falling apart, the wallpaper was peeling, the bathroom was old and needed to be repainted. The towels were cheap and torn. The shower towels are the size for a small child, not a grown adult. The room smelled like my old past dorm from college. The toilet paper was the cheapest quality one could buy. If you're here for a night, it's passable but anything longer, I would pick somewhere else to stay. There are plenty other Inns and hotels on the same street.

Wonderful area close to everything, so that was a huge plus. The room was ok - i’d book if you plan to be out most of the day. Room smelled like cigarettes and the tub was a little rusty. The guy working at the front desk was extremely rude, told me that I was making his day difficult when I went in to ask a question. I won’t be back for that reason.

I love this hotel. But this time the water smelled & tasted FOUL. Brushing my teeth was something I disliked doing during this stay. Best wishes & I'll try again next time I'm in town.

The inn was older but clean. The heating/cooler system in one of our rooms didnt work well but there was a fireplace which we used instead and was very nice. In one of our other rooms the mattress farthest from the door was very uncomfortable, my quest said they could feel the spring in their back. Lucky they had the room to themselves and slept in the other bed. Would consider staying here again for short stays 1-2 nights.

I was disappointed the room was very run down. Beds were uncomfortable, bathroom did not look clean and the receptionist was extremely rude. The thing that blew my mind was a $250 deposit for one night. Just ridiculous

Nice motel, convenient for tourist attractions of Monterey. Room was not well maintained though- bathroom fixtures a bit rusty and a squishy patch of floor that felt like the floorboards were about to break. However- staff were great- friendly, helpful.
