Kids loved the bunks with privacy curtains and cubbies. Door and curtain between parent's and children's room were great options. Super pleasant staff. Best night sleep we have had traveling as a family tied with a Marriott. Clean and pleasant decor.

We stayed in the 6-person family room and really enjoyed our stay. The beds were super comfortable, and the room was clean, modern, and inviting. Everything felt fresh and well cared for. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend The Monterey Motel to anyone looking for a comfortable, easy place to stay.
