We had reservations for 3 rooms since Aug. 2005. It was Moto GP weekend in Monterey & this was the only reasonably priced room within 50 miles. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a motel in my life. Thankfully, we spent little time in the rooms. The boxsprings all looked like they had been hauled out of a dump. They were stained and gross. I think the maids did the best they could with what they had to work with. I requested different rooms, & was offered rooms upstairs, but only for 2 out of the 5 nights we had reservations. I'm assuming the rooms were better upstairs. Next year I'll skip race weekend if it means staying here again.

This hotel saved us the one night we were in King City, a small agricultural town near Pinnacles National Monument. I couldn't find any reviews of hotels/motels online for this city, and so I picked a brand I knew... Big mistake. (See my review of the Days Inn, King City). In any case, Courtesy Inn is very courteous and had competitive rates and nicer rooms and service. They were even kind enough to upgrade us that night when we told them of our issue at Days Inn. It's not an upscale place, it's on par or slightly better than a Super 8 or Motel 6 without more furniture and room, but some of the things in the room were dated - carpet was very used near bathroom door - couldn't close it, older sinks/counters etc, but very clean and fine. There was also a microwave a refrigerator in every room which I love to have.

So, Courtesy Inn is a great place to stay in King City, and the movie theatre in town plays recent movies and a restaurant beside it called "The Grill" has excellent food and service and a great bar. This town, except for the Days Inn, far exceeded our expectations.
