Do NOT stay here!

This was THE worst hotel stay we’ve ever had. We were locked out of our room for hours. They gave us 5 different keys. Finally they came after not believing us that the keys wouldn't work. Turns out the battery for the key fobs on the door was dead. They said they'd re key it and it would take a few hours (a few hours turned into half a day) so we had no access to our room. Well, then the next day the air conditioner doesnt work. They finally switched us rooms. The hair dryer doesnt work and the shower is clogged. The manager wasnt in at 8:30 in the morning even though we were told he comes in at 7. When we asked for a refund he said he would give us a discount next time we came to town. This is unacceptable!

The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Continental breakfast was very good - comparable to a Hamptons Inn. Location was ideal for walking to the see the sunset at the beach. Would definitely consider coming back.

Batteries for the key card reader on our door had to be replaced at check in with us standing outside for 20 minutes waiting. Then the key cards had to be reprogrammed multiple times even though I kept them separated from anything that could deactivate them. Door had such a large gap between it and the frame that light from outside shown through. It was large enough of a gap for bugs to easily get into the room. Our shower was not very clean and towel was either stained or they folded up a dirty towel to be used again. Won’t stay again.

We stayed in four different Best Westerns in Central California during this trip. This Best West Western did not meet our expectations. It was loud, not clean, and the staff was not as accommodating as the other BW hotels. Due to seeing all that we wanted to see in Monterey and Carmel, we decided to checkout after our first night. We reserved and paid in advance for two rooms, however, the Manager would not work with us on a refund for the second night even though we checked out at 8:00 a.m. which was before the actual checkout time a day before we had planned to checkout.

The pros: The beds were super comfortable, and the amenities is very good. Lots of outlets for me to plug-in and charge my phone. TV looked brand new and worked great. There was a microwave and a fridge as well.Parking was also terrific. The staff was very friendly, which was a huge Plus. The cons: the floor in our room was actually pretty dirty and into the bathroom as well. Overall, I’d stay there again. Another plus was they are right by the beach.

We've stayed here multiple times, and it is always a pleasant experience. The staff is so helpful and friendly, the facility itself is always very clean, the complimentary breakfasts are amazing, and the rooms are always so clean and fresh with an included AC unit. Best Westerns are always our first choice and they are usually a very affordable option as well. Also, this one is very close to the beach, only a short walk away!
