I phoned Borg's about a month before we were due to stay. After a 15 hour flight, 1 hour drive down from San Jose we turned up at 11pm. "Ah Coombes, you're booked for tomorrow night right"... I am 99.9% confident we booked the right night, they didnt really care. Not much of an apology. Eventually the only place with... more

This may be in a great location, but that is as far as the positve goes. Small, small rooms, tiny bathroom, and worn out beds. We booked the 2-room, which turned out was an extra closet with a double bed squeezed in. Room floor was damp, we asked to be moved. We were, same problem in the next room. Remote... more

The Pros: Great view, nice location, awesome pathway across the street to walk, not hard to find motel at all, close to attractions, friendly staff. The Cons: Restaurant next door throwing bottles out to their garbage can. We had a partial oceanview room at the back of he motel, but our window faced the parking lot behind the restaurant. The... more

OMG this hotel evidently hasn't been updated since it was built...quite a few years ago! The decor was from the 1950's and the beds were as hard as cement!!! It was a tiny room and I'm only 5'6" and had to bend down to get under the shower head in the very tiny shower! And as everyone else said, it... more

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the Borg's Motel. We stayed in the least expensive "no ocean view" room, but were still able to see a glimpse of the ocean from our window. Everyday we walked across the street to enjoy the ocean and Lover's Point, then headed up the hill to Juice N'Java for coffee, scones, free wireless... more

We stayed in an upstairs full ocean view room & what a view that was! I just loved hearing the ocean waves crashing on the beach at night. You are literally across the street from the ocean. The room was just the right size for 2 adults & a small child. The staff was friendly. The room was clean &... more

We wanted to stay right on the ocean and you do exactly that at this Motel. We stayed on the upper floor in the front of the hotel (which we would recommend) and watching the sun come up over the ocean each morning from the landing chairs outside our room was great. The room was fine sizewise and clean and... more

My family stayed in a two bedroom hotel room at the Borg's. I have to say that you cannot beat the location. We throughly enjoyed staying right across the street from one of the best beaches on the Monterey Peninsula. When we arrived at the hotel the gentleman at the front desk introduced himself,quickly checked us in and asked if... more

I loved this hotel by the water!!! We stayed in the ocean view room and the sound of the ocean was so relaxing. The only flaws were that you can hear people in the rooms around you and the rooms are small, but you can overlook the flaws because the view from your window is beautiful!!! I would definitely recommend... more

For all of you folks who NEED a fancy motel to make your vacation perfect, the Borg is definately NOT for you. But, for anyone who would prefer to spend your money on daytime activities, good food, and souveniers, the Borg just might be your kind of place. The motel has been operating for at least +30 years. I remember... more
