Extremely small dark room situated on dark courtyard. All mirrors were for very short people. The commode when flushed would suck a suitcase down -- the floor shook when commode was flushed! Breakfast area too small to accommodate number of guests -- very few tables and limited continental breakfast. Only thing going for this hotel was the comfortable bed! Used... more

I paid $99 with Free car park, internet and breakfast when GSA rate was $133. The room at the conference center was $189 without internet, parking, and breakfast. So I was happy about the price. It seems rate is much less for other time. It is located 0.6 miles from the conference center. Good place to stay for a conference.... more

The hotel is a bit outside of the city center, but it was lovely to be able to take a dip in the pool after a long day in the sun. Room was a bit dark, but we were there to sleep only, so it was fine. There was free internet which didn't work on our iPhone, so they let... more

In 35 years of traveling, this is possibly the WORST hotel that I've ever encountered in the U.S. Thank God that my wife and I were able to check out immediately and get a much better hotel a couple blocks away (Casa Munras). The room stunk, the internet didn't work ("might be fixed tomorrow, but we don't know...."), there was... more

Over the years we have stayed at various Choice Hotels in the area. We decided to stay at the Clarion this time because of it's star ratings and AAA rate. The building is an older 2-story motel that has been remodeled. They did a nice job in the room except for the door. It was sticking and didn't open smoothly.... more

This motel has everything one needs, including refrigerator, microwave, free wireless connection, etc... and convenient parking. The breakfast is standard coffee, plus sweet rolls and cereal. It's attractive on the outside, but the room we had was tired looking, and the bathroom floor was stained, not dirty, just ugly. It was, however, a good deal for Monterey, and the location... more

We stayed on a weekend in Summer, so the price was a little higher for this sort of hotel. However, it was still a very nice stay. The rooms are a great size, clean, and comfortable. Loved the fireplace! The staff were friendly and attentive. I liked the location; we were right in the middle of everything -- downtown, wharf... more

I got a really good deal on our room at this hotel, otherwise I probably would have stayed a little closer to the center of Monterey for their regular, advertised price. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and prompt to our needs. The air conditioner worked great, but the fridge made a clanking sound every now and then. We didn't... more

I used points for this stay since I've stayed at several "Choice" Hotels. This place is old and in disrepair. The room was dark, dank and reeked of cleaning solutions. Noisy and out of town. more

This was a great little hotel for us during a recent vacation to visit Big Sur, Carmel, & Monterey, CA. The hotel was not a 5-star full of amenities, but it was perfect for types like us - leaving at the crack of dawn & returning exhausted well after dinner. We had a 2-room suite which was not huge but... more
