    We made a last minute booking for this location and used my Bonvoy points for our road trip up north. It's located in a nice area with The Dunes across the street that includes a Trader Joe's and numerous restaurants and shops. The hotel was clean and modern with a shared parking lot with a Hilton. I only had to interact with the front desk once because I automatically received my key via the app. The room was clean and includes a mini fridge and microwave with a seating area. The TV is oddly placed and doesn't fully turn towards the bed. Also the bed is right in front of the bathroom which is not great but that's the designer flaw. Breakfast was ok but they should really include a protein option for non-meat eaters, like Beyond sausage.

    We really enjoyed our stay here, although brief, and would definitely consider coming back on our next Monterey trip. This hotel has updated and modern fixings and amenities. It's a great place to start your Monterey stay and a great place to send you off. Location is convenient, just to start. Being only 20 minutes from downtown Monterey/Cannery Row and just a few minutes away from some major stores and restaurants, you can rest assured that you'll have everything you need to embark on your journey. Big parking lot also ensures you'll have a spot that's likely visible from your room in case you're paranoid like me. Right from check in, the staff were amazing and accommodated as best as they could. We had asked for a baby crib and they were able to get us a decently conditioned pack-n-play crib. It worked fine! And when we requested towels, they were quick to respond and fulfill. The staff in the dining area was also very quick and efficient to keep food fresh and stocked. Speaking of dining, the continental breakfast (sausage, eggs, potatoes, cereal, oatmeal and toppings, bagel, toast, English muffin, juice, coffee, yogurt, and fresh fruit) was great! A complete breakfast to energize us for the adventure we planned! They also have an indoor heated pool that we got to try out. Great for a quick dip! There were also fire pits available but it was a bit too windy for us to use it this time around. They are a nice addition for those late night night caps. The rooms were very comfortable. The layout and storage space worked well for us. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. They had some freebies for us to use (shampoo, body wash, conditioner but no lotion). And for the most part, the rooms were pretty quiet. When we stayed, it looked like there were more hotels being constructed. When we return to Monterey, this place will still be on the top of our list based on our previous experience!

    We enjoyed our stay! First of all, my wife and I were greeted by Vanessa R. at the front desk. Vanessa was polite and friendly! She allowed us to check-in at 2pm and also accomodated us with a handicap room. What a nice start to our stay! The room was spacious and would allow for wheel chair access to the shower and toilet. I could hear loud talking occasionally and maybe a door slam but usually at night it was quiet. Although the room service was not daily (upon request), the maid gave us extra towels. Our room did not have an ocean view;however, we could see the ocean while eating at the typical complimentary breakfast. The staff was friendly from receptionists,maids, and janitors. Special THANKS to Vanessa R. and Ann T. who were accomodating and friendly! My wife and I plan to stay here again next time we visit! Thank you!

    See all

The additional space would have been nice for two adults and their furry friend. It was still a great room with an awesome view of the dunes and water. Check in was terrific. The lobby is beautiful and stocked for a quick whatever you might want. There is a backyard behind the lobby that is sheltered from those pesky ocean breezes with firepit, tables, chairs and other stuff. Nice touch. Our room was spotless. The bathroom was very nice. Clean and let me say that the shower was fantastic. There is a heater/fan in the bathroom that made getting out of the shower, pleasantly warm. Toiletries are of nice quality. Our dog, Sian found the stick library very useful and she had a blast going after it on the beach and in the ocean. She even brought it back to the library the morning we left, for others to use during their stay. The pet welcome is a nice touch. This site is very pet friendly. Not so much for the timeshares that are on the same property. And that's fine. Parking is not allowed at the units. You are driven to your unit by one of the great golf cart drivers. Zach was our driver. Loaded all our luggage on to the the cart. As we journeyed to our cottage, Zach pointed out sites as well as amenities. Unloaded our luggage as wll as went and got us ice as we settled in. If you need help getting to your car, onsite restaurant or the lobby, just call the lobby about 10 minutes before you want to go and someone will be there. The restaurant is great. We ate there twice and had breakfast delivered to our unit twice. The bread platter... OMG... the bread platter. We loved it so much that we went to Otto's bakery in Salinas on our way out of town to bring it home with us. The restaurant is not open for breakfast but, at check in, you will get a room service menu that that's how you can have breakfast onsite. More on the restaurant in that review... Can't wait to go back. Have to say that overall, this is probably in our top 3 of vacation spots. Including Hawaii. It's just great.

I had this…read morehotel saved for a long time and booked it after seeing so many glowing reviews about the pet-friendly luxury experience. We paid around $1,000 for one night, so I arrived excited and expecting something special. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. Many of the pet-friendly touches that influenced me to book were missing at check-in. There was no personalized dog welcome setup, no dog package, and my dog's name was not on the welcome sign until I called later. I had also requested a simple welcome card for my mother-in-law's first trip to California, and although staff said they would gladly do it, it was never done. We also had multiple room issues throughout the stay. The TV was not working, the phone buttons to reach the front desk did not work, there was no extra pillow for the fold-out bed, and there was even a leftover dog chew from a previous guest found in the bed. To be fair, the maintenance employee was kind and helpful, and the complimentary bottle of wine was appreciated. However, for this price point, the lack of attention to detail and overall service was really disappointing. What upset me most was checkout. I politely explained that I was disappointed and thought at minimum the pet fee might be removed, but there was no effort to make things right beyond emailing the receipt. Beautiful location, but the experience did not match the cost or reputation. I truly wanted to love this stay and left sad and let down instead.

    This. Place. SUCKS!…read more You can hear EVERYTHING. The engines and security beeps of every car in the parking lot. The obnoxious kids running and yelling endlessly up and down the hallway outside your door. The neighbor's TV and conversation and snoring in every room adjacent to your own. Every door opening and closing all night long.... And that's just OUTSIDE your room. Inside, the AC/fan is loud and the beds creak and groan every time you breathe. I barely slept might #1 and judging by the crowd of elephants that just entered the room next door, I won't get much more tonight as I'm typing this at 11 PM. The layout of the room is awful. As soon as someone opens the door, everyone inside is blasted by either the outdoor lights or the sun. The bathroom is ridiculously tiny. You can barely get inside to close the door to use the toilet. The shower curtain bar was falling out of the wall, drooping, and causing the curtain to continously slip to the middle of the bar, letting all the shower spray out onto the floor. And nevermind any soft or adjustable lighting--it's all harsh, bright light ricocheting across mirrors so no one can sleep if one person is up. The floor creaks when you walk and was filthy and gritty when we arrived. There's mildew and mold in most corners and all over the bathroom. The toilet seat is such flimsy, cheap plastic you can't sit on it without it sliding half of the toilet or bowing under you. Did I mention that you will hear all the screaming and crying children on either side of you all hours of the night? The parking lot was NEVER full, but the place still put everyone in consecutive rooms when clearly there were empty rooms that could have been used to space us all out to make buffers for noise since this place has zero soundproofing. The room as a whole was grimy and dirty. Stuff on the walls, paint peeling, bathroom and bathtub surfaces cracked, rusted, and moldy. Absolutely disgusting. The only positives I can cite are the blackout curtains (worked well) and that there was a mini-fridge and microwave in the room. The continental breakfast was okay, too. But if you actually want to sleep on your trip, don't stay here. This place clearly does not care one bit about helping you get a decent night's rest. Never. Ever. Again.

    We recently stayed at this Best Western and had a very disappointing experience…read more On our first night, our neighboring room was extremely loud and explicit well past 10 PM and continued almost all night. We understand it was Valentine's Day, but quiet hours still apply. We contacted management three separate times and were told they would address it. However, nothing changed. Eventually, we had to handle the situation ourselves and ask the neighbors to quiet down, which should not have been our responsibility as paying guests. In addition, the air conditioner in our room did not work properly. It was blowing air, but it never cooled the room down, leaving us uncomfortably hot all night. Then, on the morning of checkout, there was no hot water. I was unable to take a shower before leaving. We brought these concerns forward, but instead of acknowledging the issues, management defended each complaint and ultimately chose not to offer any refund or resolution. We understand that occasional issues can happen in any hotel, but the lack of follow-through and customer care was very disappointing. Based on this experience, we would not choose to stay here again.

They offer FREE coffee, tea, water and ice to fill up your water bottles. I took off 1 Star.... My only complaint would be the parking. We couldn't find a parking at the hotel after dark. The hotel is surrounded by apartments so I'm sure people from other places park there. There's only 30 or so parking spots and it's Not monitored which I wish they would do. Maybe give us a parking pass to put on the car or something and tow the ones who don't belong. My husband had to park a block and half away. We would consider staying here again if they fixed the parking issue. It's very inconvenient for families who have little ones.

It offers a TV (which I was too stupid/tired to figure out how to work), a desk to eat/work at, a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. All things considered, it offered a lot of features for a 2-star motel. The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staying in Marina, I didn't feel the need to turn on the A/C and the room was comfortable to sleep in. No random noises or altercations waking me up, so a huge plus for my experience here for the night. Staff - The gentleman who checked me in was very kind and even offered to open a bottle for me when I bought a Jarritos for my dinner and didn't realize it needed a bottle opener. Check out was smooth and they offered me a goodie bag to-go which included a yogurt, banana, clementine, granola bar, and pastry. It was very generous and considering the event I went to didn't offer breakfast or lunch, it came in handy! All things considered, this is about as good as you're going to get for a 2-star motel and I would gladly come back and stay here again if I found myself back in the area for business. It was a very quiet complex and the folks running it were very nice.
