Old dirty hotel, I won’t stay here again, I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here. The Best Western site showed this hotel as a 3.5 star hotel .

Pros:

Gute Ausgangslage für Ausflüge nach Santa Cruz und andere kleine Ortschaften und Nationalparks.
Monterey ist auch einen Ausflug Wert. Schöne Strände in der Umgebung.

Cons:

viel zu kleiner Frühstücksraum, immer überfüllt und keiner ist hinterher mit nachlegen und den Müll zwischen durch einmal zu leeren.

AI photos, do not recommend.
Cons:

Our stay was very disappointing. The property was not as described, and the room did not resemble the advertised ocean view. Upon arrival, the room was noticeably dirty, and it appeared that the floors had not been properly mopped or cleaned in quite some time.

To make matters worse, there was constant noise from the room above us, with someone pacing the floors throughout the night, making it nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep.

Overall, this stay did not meet our expectations, and we were very disappointed with the cleanliness, accuracy of the listing, and overall experience.

Pros:

The complimentary breakfast and front desk staff were two things I like about the stay at Best Western Marina State Beach.

Cons:

The bathroom was too small to even go in and out of it. The room was smaller than the square footage advertised. the lighting was dark, and the shampoo or soap or conditioner were empty from the start.
