Comfortable and clean.

Positives: Dinner recommendation.

Negatives: Old pool, dark room.

For the price, it was reasonable. But because the bed was uncomfortable, I would not recommend this hotel. If you don't mind sleeping in an old bed, you might just go spend a night. But if you have any back problem, this hotel would not be a good choice.

Positives: News paper was free.

Negatives: The bed was uncomfortable.

I was not happy about paying extra money in order to have two beds. Monterey is a family travel spot and no one should have to pay more for a room.

Positives: Good location friendly staff.

Negatives: Had to pay extra $20.00 over what I paid for 2 queen beds, they only give king beds.

Although I would classify this property more as a 2-story motel, not hotel, the accommodations were sufficient. Unlike several other comments I read, the bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of closet/drawer space. The continental breakfast area located behind the front office, was an added bonus. If weather permits, sitting outside and looking across at the forest of trees reminded me of sitting at a cabin in Tahoe. Other than a freak broken hot water heater on our first morning, the desk clerk was quick to offer us an alternate room to stay or to clean up in. The water heater was replaced by 4 pm. Friendly staff.

Positives: Room equipped with plenty furnishings, plus a small fridge & microwave!

Negatives: The early morning car doors shutting & engines starting & idling were quite loud.

I was very disappointed on my last visit to this motel; I had stayed previously and had no problem. This time, I made a reservation almost 6 weeks in advance for a specific room type and was quoted the rate for my stay. I guaranteed the reservation with a

Positives: Location was good; rooms were okay on previous stays.

Negatives: Don't honor reservations.

I liked the hotel and the staff the pool was too cold (told 70 degrees, it felt much colder) and the hot tub was too hot (110+ degrees). The room was nice, no DVD player.

Positives: The staff was very nice.

Negatives: Too far away from the beach.

Good value for the money. You need to drive to the aquarium and most of the better food places from one to two miles.

Positives: Large clean rooms.

Negatives: At least a mile walk to good restaurants.

This hotel is ideal- if your not seeking luxury! It is not far from Downtown Monterey. The parking is too crowded. The staff was very friendly and the cleanliness of our room was tops. The hotel is a much older hotel

Positives: Cleanliness! Always top at Best Western!

Negatives: I did not like the parking-too crowded, the bed was way too hard, pillows were too small & too few. This is an older hotel.

While this motel was in a great location and very clean. We had a corner room with adjoining door to the next suite. The noise between the adjoining room and the in-suite fridge was unbearable. No sleep whatsoever!

Positives: Great location, clean.

Negatives: Walls were paper thin.

This is a good little motel if you want an inexpensive place to stay while you visit Monterey. There was a car show in town. Check events in the area, they can cause a steep increase. It is not worth the price. Their continental breakfast is very nice. The air conditioning did not operate in our room. Although Monterey is cool the room got hot and stuffy, they give you a fan.

Positives: Continental breakfast.

Negatives: Massively inflated prices during an event.

Negatives: Lack of air conditioning.

This hotel worked well for us because of convenience - we were visiting family that lived only a block away. the price point worked as well. it is an older hotel in need of renovation. the continental breakfast was very minimal offering only cereal, toast, pastries, coffee and juice.

Positives: Convenient, easy to access off highway.

Negatives: Needs renovating - older hotel - minimal continental breakfast.
