Hotels in Monterey

"Hotel lobby was very tacky with many, many fake flower arrangements everywhere. Breakfast was very basic and the same every day (3 nights). Hotel needs major upgrade and was not maintained. Bathroom floor was scary. Holes in shower where grab bar used to be. Stains all over sink counter. Sheets and pillowcases were wrinkled. Room was not cleaned in the 3 days we were there. Staff never at front desk - always had to call them. Pool stairs were broken and roped off - pool and hottub looked suspect so we were AFRAID to use them."

"Nice clean room. Very friendly staff. The breakfast was better than some places, but nothing special. Good price for what we got."

"Breakfast did not have yogurt, bananas. It was overall good though. No issues at all."

"Loved staying here. Great service, will stay again."

"I was questioned several times about me being a single person staying in a room like she didn't believe me. Forced me to take a smoking room even though I said I wouldn't smoke in the room. I don't like sleeping in smoke. If I didn't take the smoking room after a five hour drive, she said she would cancel my reservation and it was 8p.m. at night. Paint peeling off the walls. Barely any amenities. $40 cash deposit at check in and when you check out they have to go look at the room before the refund the deposit. I won't be going back. "

"Parking was okay. Staff was courteous. Room was spacious. Refrigerator had a "real" freezer space for cold pack (small, but ok for overnight stay. It was a convenient stop for a longer trip. Near a variety of eating places. "

"Clean and comfortable. Nice bed!"

"Internet access is pretty bad. Couldnt get my laptop to get past the required login page. Called tech support. They decided to have me permanently bypass their login page by providing my mac address. Getting my tablet to connect much less get to their login page was also extremely frustrating. Often times took 5 to 6 tries before the login page would even show. Problem existing regardless of where I tried in the hotel. Once the laptop or tablet connected, the internet was extremely slow with lots of timeouts (or buffering if attempting to stream). And since I stayed for the week and hotel vacancy in the middle of the week was pretty high, poor internet performance cannot be blamed on overcrowding. Very frustrating. I also rented a suite (kingsize bed and a sitting area). The sitting area was essentially useless because there were no lights (no sconces, no corner lights, no table lights, etc.) in the area. The couch and lounge area were just too dark to be used even with all the lights turned on in the rest of the room. Very disappointing. On the plus side, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room maids paid attention to detail and were equally friendly and helpful."

"Room was clean except tub. The showers were not hot. Breakfast was pleasant. Beds and pillows were not very comfortable "
