Love Monterey, love the location of the place.
Pros:

Great location away from the crowds in Cannery Row-but still within walking distance. One of the front desk staff, Kirby, was welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

Older property, no A/C. It was a warm weekend, we needed to leave windows open. VERY NOISY. People outside enjoying themselves, but after 12 am the manager needs to intervene.

Für eine Nacht okay
Pros:

Typisch amerikanisches Motel. Wer Pech hat landet in einem Zimmer mit Blick auf den Parkplatz. Die Zimmer zum Pool sind schöner. Bäder müssten dringend einmal renoviert werden. Aber alles schön sauber. Nach langer Autofahrt war der Pool sehr angenehm. Nicht so ideal dass es dort weder Duschen noch Umkleiden gab.

Cons:

Personal teilweise super nett, teilweise ziemlich mürrisch.

Nice location but quite expensive for few amenities.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, designated parking, location near beach, great pool & spa., comfortable patio area and fire pit.

Cons:

Room seemed small in terms of space, especially the bathroom, no coffee or breakfast items (under excuse of COVID issue from 5 years ago), very tight parking. Front door too narrow for fat people.

Motel in guter Lage und kostenlosen Parkplätzen
Pros:

Schönes Motel in perfekter Lage direkt an der Strandpromenade mit kostenlosen Parkplätzen.

Cons:

Die Zimmer wurden renoviert, das Badezimmer ist aber veraltet und nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Preis-Leistung stimmt nicht ganz, liegt aber am teuren Standort.
