The pool was far from being heated as advertised. My kids and I could not swim. The pool side furniture was filthy. The room had no electrical outlet covers. The headboards of the beds were filthy. The walls and doors were dirty as well. The shower head on our shower was about ready to fall out of the wall. We... more

If your idea of a hotel for a weekend get away involves outrageous prices, terrible customer service and the smell of cat urine, the Best Value Surf Inn is for you. The place was a major disappointment and a poor value for the money. I booked a room here over the web, which proved to be a major mistake. Upon... more

So much for "Best Value" - this place was very nearly as expensive as the San Francisco Hilton - the room was drab and did not smell fresh - our son had to sleep on the floor on 1st night! - although the booking was made for two adults and a child only one small double bed was provided -... more

When we first came here we were captivated by the beautiful surroundings and serene garden setting. The staff was very knowledgeable and helped us make the most out of our visit to Monterey. We found out about all the places in Monterey besides the Aquarium that makes Monterey famous. We were so thrilled that we ended up staying for three... more

I think this is the greatest motel in Monterey. The rooms were nice and the service was great. They had in-room coffee and also a microwave and refrigerator in the room. They served a continental breakfast at the lobby. We wished we could have stayed longer. the rooms were really nice and the staff was very courteous and hospitable. I... more

A friend of mine set the reservations for me. I think if he had known how depressing the room looked, he wouldn't have made reservations there. The walls were a sad looking pale pink. Chipped paint and scuffed up walls. It was quiet but I think that is due to hardly anyone staying there!!! LOL! At least it was clean...thank... more

Everything you want in a flop without the downtown Monterey gouge. Half a mile from the historic center - an easy walk down Cass Street. If you need porter's, want ocean views, require stage-set decor, spend the $180/night (or more) at the Marriott. If you just want a convenient, affordable room with all the basics, this is your home. more

We chose this motel because we're on a budget. We liked it's location related to the attractions and found it to be $20-$30 cheaper per night than it's next competitor. We were initially assigned room #9 which was a step above a janitor's closet and had an odor so intense that we requested another room. They were very accommodating and... more
