Recently stayed here in a queen fireplace unit for a one night stay. Our party of four adults had two different rooms. Our room was in a separate, one story section and had a small patio and assigned parking as part of the unit. Our traveling companions were on the second floor of the two story building. Both rooms were... More

Location next to Lake El Estero, on the corner of Camino Agujito (direct from Hwy 1) and Del Monte, and across the street from the Bay, makes this hotel better than average. The hotel is a product of the popularity caused after Steinbeck wrote about Cannery Row. It fights hard to keep up with the decor and amenities, like a... More

We stayed in Room 110, a downstairs unit by a parking lot. When we walked into the room, besides noticing the attractive cheerful colors the small room had been decorated with, I was assailed by a musty, unpleasant, sweet odor. I thought it would resolve with airing out, but it never did and I went on to have a most... More

We had three people and decided to get the Family Room, which had a Queen bed when you walked in and a bunk bed in a separate room. This worked out perfectly for us. The room was clean, it had all the usual amenities (small fridge, microwave, hair dryer, clothes iron, etc.), and a TV in each room. The check-in... More

Research on Tripadvisor lead me to this property and the photos and description did not disappoint. Let me tell you about all the good things: clean building inside and out; genuinely friendly and helpful staff at check-in and check-out; very comfy beds and a cold fridge awaited us along with a microwave unit. Location is a big plus for me... More

Good location, parking right in front of our room, dog-friendly. Comfortable room. The only complaint we have is the extremely slow internet -- which made it cumbersome to research our options for dining out.

The location, rooms, and heated pool were just right. My only complaint was the size of the bathroom; it was small. I live locally, but if I were to come back, I would ask for a second story room that overlooks the park. The ocean is literally steps away ( you just have to cross the street). Happy travels

Pleasant boating lake and sea front... More

After staying in San Francisco for 3 days, we drove along the coast road to Monterey. This motel was very easy to find, and is in a perfect location. Across the road is the beach, and a short walk to Old Fisherman's Wharf..and across the other road is a park and boating lake. We had the patio room with fireplace.... More

It was easy to make a reservation online. The room was clean, nice smelling, and in a safe area. The only complaint we had was that the free wifi didn't work for us. I tried both my laptop and my tablet.
