Having been a flight attendant and stayed in hundreds of hotels, I'd have to say that this bed was one of the worst I've ever slept in. The rooms were clean and safe, however, the walls were paper thin, and the bed extremely uncomfortable. If you're looking for clean, safe, and cheap - this is your place. If you're hoping for a restful night's sleep, maybe look elsewhere. I wouldn't stay here again.

I’m surprised by some of the negative reviews here. It is a budget/cheap motel and good value for money. Good sized rooms, and clean. Ample parking, and a short 5+ minute drive to the main drag of Monterey. There is a shopping mall located across the road. For the price I paid, my expectations were met and I’d be happy to stay here again.

I stayed in many motels and hotels during my 16 night holiday in California and Nevada in August 2011 but this really was the worst one we stayed in.
I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the motel because the exterior was very nice. It was well kept and there were lovely flowers making the place look nice. It was a different story when entering the room!
First, there was a massive gap between the door frame and wall, so the draught that came in was terrible. My sister and I were freezing at night!
Second, the bed covers and towels absolutely stunk of curry. The motel is run by an Asian family which I have no problem with at all, but I don't expect the sheets to smell of curry. It was very off putting particularly when you had to wrap yourself in the cover because it was so freezing!!
Third, there was no fridge, no coffee making facilities and the TV didn't receive many channels.
I don't usually moan this much about a place but we were both unhappy and it wasn't cheap to stay there.

The only positive is that the location was rather good. You can easily walk into Monterey and its only a short drive to Carmel.
I would definitely consider another motel on Munras Avenue as there are many to choose from.

A family operated motel. Good location. Just off Route 1 makes it easy to go north or south. Short drive to downtown Monterey and sites on the water. Basic accommodation. My room was clean. Breakfast is skimpy. Front desk staff were helpful but not overly friendly. Cost was reasonable. Many similar type of motels on Munras Ave as you go into town.
