Hotels in Downtown Monterey

"Upon arrival I was welcomed at the front desk & the check-in process for room 117 was fast. Once in the room it smelled musky like mildew or mold. I turned on the a/c to circulate and cool the air, but the a/c unit turned off completely after a few minutes. It did this multiple times throughout the stay. The TV worked, but the remote and cable service did not as the tv guide scrolled automatically and nothing could be selected with the remote. The sink was clogged and the water took a long time to drain. The water pressure in the shower was weak and the toilet rocked as it was not secured properly. There were small stains on some of the towels. The beds were uncomfortable as the spring could be felt through the bedding and there were also stains found on two pillows. When I went to retrieve some luggage from my vehicle a man sitting in a red suv with dark tinted windows called out to me as my wife and small children stood nearby. As I approached the man kept telling me to get closer, but I refused and the man said he just wanted to offer me some drugs. I declined his offer & immediately reported this to the front desk. The front desk took a description and said she would let her manager know so they could take care of it. Hours later after returning from dinner the unknown man was still seen sitting in his vehicle. At checkout I was not given the opportunity to voice my concerns as I was told to drop the keys in the bowl on the counter before the FD associate walked away. "

"Clean room & bath. However some of the interiors looks dated which needs to be replaced "

"Not a bad place for a 1 night stay, but would not stay more than that. Staff were friendly, location was good, grounds were clean, and covered parking was a plus. There is no air conditioning and the heater was a small, plug-in, portable space heater. The walls and ceiling were thin. We were placed next to a maintenance or laundry room and were woken very early by machinery. Breakfast was adequate but consisted of frozen waffles, fruit, and dry cereal. The place is also easy to miss due to inadequate signage. "

"The location offers great privacy. The lobby, bar, coffee shop, and pool area excellent. The buffet was great but you'll have to pay extra for omelets or other specialty dishes. Highly recommend. "

"Nice clean old timey hotel. Close walking distance to wharf and aquarium."

"Restaurant was a little over priced, the bar had a good selection, but the bar staff was very unwelcoming. "

"Our room was beautiful, spacious and very relaxing. The staff were excellent and very welcoming. The location was excellent. We’ll return again soon. "

"Room was clean… Restaurant was good… Staff was friendly… parking was insufficient…Overall average to above average experience."

"Everyone was very nice. The rooms were nice."
