I cannot believe how impressed we were with this place. The price was exceptional for the room we had. The front desk was beyond helpful and let us check into our room early and check out late! The room itself was fantastic. It was very clean, roomy, and updated. We also were very lucky as our balcony faced the beach which provided excellent views. The location was impecable as we were less than a block walk to the beach, directly across from Dennis the Menace Park, and within short walking distance to both the wharf and cannery row. They also had a heated pool for kids (or adults). We cannot get over what a great deal we found. We definitely plan on returning.

Found this through other TripAdvisor reviews. Maybe because it's off season, only paid $60 for it! It's set up like a motel with room doors to the outside, but is nicer than any motel! Good sized room that included queen bed, arm chair and mini fridge (with two complimentary bottled waters). Staff was very nice, I expected to be checking in late and they were very accommodating. My room looked out over the courtyard with pool, hot tub, and flowers. I used the hot tub in the morning and it was clean and well kept, as the pool looked also. It was a quick walk across the street to part of the Monterey beach, and you can walk on the Rec path along the coast all the way to the wharf and the town (a mile or two?).

FYI, I thought the Coast Guard Pier at Monterey was even better than San Francisco's Fishermen's wharf for seeing seals. They were all along the rocks so that you can see them about 3 feet away, and there were about a tenth of the people as at SF. Also, there were starfish, other fish, pelicans...lots of wildlife to see!

Would definitely stay here again.

This is an older courtyard style motel. The Desk Manager was exceptional welcoming and the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We were able to easily walk to shops downtown, to Cannery Row, and to the Aquarium. There is a little view from the courtyard balcony for 2nd floor units, but not really any views from inside the room. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay and a good night sleep.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay for several days while on our honeymoon. The location was great, just across the street from the bay, within walking distance of great food and attractions, and a short drive to 17 Mile Drive. We were fortunate enough to stay in a courtyard room with fireplace. It was a decent size, easily accessible, and recently renovated. Employees were helpful and pleasant. We would highly recommend for anyone staying in Monterey.
