this is obviously an area with a ton of hotels and motels and most of them are touting how close they are to local attractions like the aquarium or 17 mile drive area... this motel probably isn't one of those locations. its certainly not walking distance to any of those places. but as someone passing through, this place was perfect. it's in a really quiet part of town. its fairly easy to find, however i did have a gps unit. the room itself was clean, comfortable, and the bathroom was the same. one of the reasons i also chose this place over cheaper motels (by $10) was the free wireless internet. i was the only one staying at this place when i came here which was quite weird, i'll admit. in the morning, they offer free coffee, juice and pastries. the only thing that i could say as a negative was that the office closes at 9pm and if perhaps you lose your key or you need something... does that mean you're SOL? i'm not sure. if i ever pass through monterey again, i will definitely consider staying here again. read more

I stayed here for two nights mid-week in May 2015. I hesitated to book this place because of the price range, and knowing what a person normally gets for it. My doubts were removed just by driving by the property, which is very clean and fresh, with a recently paved/sealed parking lot and good lighting. My room was a basic king. Again, it looked freshly repainted and decorated with attractive modern furnishings and carpet. It was NOT at all the usual thing you see, which is that cheap pink/blue/white patterned bed cover and tired oak. The bathroom was also newly renovated with a new tile floor and granite counter/sink and large bathtub/shower with granite walls. Included amenities in the room are: large LCD TV, hair dryer, coffee maker, refrigerator, and even a microwave. WiFi is free. There is a small swimming pool outside which I did not use. There is an included breakfast in the office building, which I also did not take advantage of. The property was very quiet all night. It is also in a very doable walk (but not short) to the waterfront area. All in All, I would not hesitate to return to the Stage Coach. My colleague stayed at the Hyatt and paid triple the rate I paid, and got basically the same room. read more

Love this place. Arthur and the guys do a fantastic job. Great location and the price is right. I came in town for a long weekend and was looking for something near the beach that wouldn't break the bank. Easy walk to everything in town too. The rooms look like they were recently remodeled. They did a nice job making it feel like home. The beds were comfortable and the furniture and everything else look great. I'll be back! read more

If I could give the room a 0 I would. The thermometer did not work therefore we left the window open, and the front desk staff came up to the room to mention that we were being loud and that other guest had already called the cops on us for being loud (we were just having a conversation) not even 5 minutes after that we received a call from the same front desk to say someone had called the cops and that we might get kicked out. Also to mention the only room connected directly to us is a friend and said she couldn't hear anything and informed us she was listening to music and we as a group of 4 could not hear anything. To pay OVER $200 dollars a night for this room and get this from the front desk was very disappointing..... To top everything, our party had 5 rooms tonight, just to spend over $1,000 for family to stay here and be treated with such disrespect and be reminded that they knew we where part of a party (didn't mean anything to this company) read more

Stage Coach Lodge - Broken thermometer - Hotels Near Me - Monterey, California

BAD SERVICE! BETTER UNDER AMERICA'S BEST VALUE INN OWNERSHIP! THE NEW OWNERS ARE STINGY WITH CUSTOMERS! Me and my family first stayed here when the place was under America's best value inn and were able to request the late check time of 1PM as opposed to 11AM at no extra charge. The first experience under AVI was great. The last time however was a complete 180 experience. I requested the late check out feature to the owner as I did the first time but after thinking about it, and hesitating, she refused unless we payed $25 extra. In addition, she is so stingy that we were scoffed at after attempting to borrow one of their cheap white towels outside. Customers can't even do that. The pool was closed, seems to never be in operating conditions. boring bland breakfast available before 9AM. Very bad service from the owner, there are way better hotels elsewhere where customers are appreciated! read more

Had a great stay here during the long holiday weekend. The staff was very helpful and they also offer continental breakfast every morning which got us going for the day. The rooms were large and decorated very nicely. Great proximity to the Aquarium and Old Fisherman's Wharf, but it's in a quieter area so we were able to sleep peacefully at night. The entire property was very inviting and truly felt like our home away from home. Will definitely come back and stay here again when I'm back in California! read more

1) Bath towel left a thick layer of lint all over my body 2) Poor response and handling of the receptionist upon noise complaints of hearing loud TV/radio, conversations, and crackling floor board sound from the person in the room upstairs walking back and forth at 4AM! The receptionist kept on saying he has not heard of these problems before and tried to blame the customer who checked out around 5AM, while the issue is really bad floor boards and thin walls. While I asked politely if there's anything the receptionist can do about it as we could not sleep with those noise, he did not offer to change rooms and said "a good night sleep is not guaranteed at the hotel, or at any hotel, that the only place that can guarantee a good night sleep is at home". I replied with "Sure, good TripAdvisor ratings is not guaranteed either". Then he finally asked if I'd like to change room for the next day, and asked that if I'd be taking our luggage with us for the day as they also do not guarantee any belongings in the room. Wow, I said I didn't plan to but I'd take our luggage with us for the day if that's needed. He said as they need to clean our room in order to switch room, we'd need to take our luggage with us (no offer of storing our luggage at the reception/hotel storage), so that's what we did. 3) In the new upstairs room, we could still hear people walking up the stairs but not as bad as the downstairs room. However, the room was missing shampoo, and we called to ask if they can bring a shampoo up. The receptionist said yes, then later called us and said they ran out of shampoo and he doesn't have access to the storage that would have more, and asked if he can bring me a bath soap bar instead. I said no, I will not wash my hair with a bath soap bar. All these 3 problems led to a very, very unpleasant stay and I would definitely NOT recommend anyone to stay here, and will not stay in this lodge ever again. read more

visited monterey for a long weekend. it was not my first choice, but due to the popularity of the event we were attending, stage coach was the only option if we were staying in town. fairly simple to find right off hwy 1. a short walk to the monterey bay coastal trail and the beach itself. another 10 minute walk and you're at the fisherman's wharf. location is super convenient. we had the king suite. nicely decorated with room for two. that bed was super big - could roll over twice with room to spare lol description says continental breakfast and we all know that means juice, coffee and danish. at least it was better than nothing i suppose. nothing can beat a warm breakfast like eggs, toast, hash browns...you get the idea. outdoor parking on the property is an open first-come marked parking with handicap availability. because of the close proximity to the ocean, you're car will most definitely have some moist dew on it in the morning. Covered or subterranean parking would have been nice. due to the event we were participating in and the reason for our weekend trip there, we had to check out on sunday morning. check out time was 1100 am. as we were finishing our organizing and packing up to leave, the room phone rings at 1105am. it was the front desk asking if we wanted to extend our stay and pay the fee for it. we were dumbfounded....speechless to say the least. we visit the front desk to provide our keys and ask if we could leave a laptop computer bag with them. our goal was not to leave this important electronics in the car out in the sun all day. although they complied, they would not accept anything more than that stressing they did not have the space for anything larger. you thing a lodge would be able to accommodate luggage larger than a computer laptop bag for safekeeping after just paying a few hundred dollars for staying there. again, we were speechless and literally kept quiet in order to leave our computer bag there. the weekend overall certainly allowed us to leave refreshed from a great monterey weekend with the festivities we participated in, wonderful monterey and beach picturesque landmarks and amazing sunset views from anywhere on the monterey coastline. would we return to the stage coach lodge? no. do we recommend it? no. we suggest trying another inn or accommodation believing you'll be better treated for the cost point of stage coach lodge, which incidentally was not cheap. read more

We booked a room here online, half way up the Pacific Coastal Highway. Arrived about 5 hours later to find helpful, friendly staff and a large clean room. Beautiful grounds. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. Would stay there again if ever in the area. read more

Incredible value for an excellent location. The place is right off the highway, and only a 25 minute walk to the wharf. Great friendly folks, nice breakfast you can take back to your room, and very spacious and clean room. Nice mom and pop shop. read more

Very clean, and the flower trees lining the motel are quite pretty.

Was the best deal we could get although would of loved to be on water, but worked great for weekend..Clean, warm and had everything we needed. read more

This hotel is a no frills, quiet hotel that needs an elevator for guests on the second floor when hauling luggage up and down the stairs. PROS: King junior suite deluxe room(Rm 202) spacious and bed was comfortable. Friendly staff at check-in Quiet area CONS: Towels were hard TV image quality is poor on many channels No TV swivel wall mount (TV not visible from bed) Only bedding to sleep under was a flat sheet and a lite comforter. read more

Our room was very cheap, clean, with nice decor. Very large TV. Courteous staff. Not a luxury place, but excellent value for the price.

Husband and I stayed here for my birthday, better than what we expected, especially for the price. My birthday was a nightmare, but our stay at SCI was the highlight of my evening. Clean room, comfortable KING size bed, affordable, clean room, close to the freeway, and did I mention clean room? Shiv was also very kind and accommodating; thank you for the upgrade :) I will definitely go back and have already recommended this hotel to family and friends. read more

Very clean and well cared for. Quiet even tho close to highway. Comfortable beds and soft water. Very close to Monterey recreational trail. We enjoyed bike riding there. read more

Great location and in close proximity to Fisherman's Wharf and Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the room included a small fridge which was very convenient. We will definitely stay again if we visit the Monterey in the future. read more

Stayed here withy family on a road trip down the coast. Great for families, very friendly help at checkin and after. Gave us a coupon for a free app at a local restaurant. The location was right off route 1 and minutes to the Aquarium. I had to do a load of laundry and the machines were really clean. In fact everything was clean and the rooms/checkin were recently renovated. Decent breakfast also included. read more

Nice place to stay not far from Monterey aquarium place is very clean got the king suite with fireplaces and love everything ,the bed was comfortable ,bathroom very clean for sure I'll go back and stay at this spot read more

The room was very clean and updated. The room was small but it felt cozy and we were very comfortable. The Internet was a little slow but for that didn't bother me. I've read a few complaints about the staff but I found them to be extremely nice. It's great to have a nice affordable option for lodging. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. read more

Staff was super friendly, they upgraded us to a King suite for free, and the room was great! Very spacious, easy to find, and an all around good and stress free stay. read more

Love that the hotel isn't giant. It has a very friendly feeling, and so far the staff has been very nice. The rooms aren't huge, but are very clean. The pool is not nearly as big as it looks in the pictures, and is very cold. But, aside from that it is very nice. read more

For a small motel, the rooms are excellent in quality and cleanliness. Granite counter tops, refrigerator and microwave. Tech friendly with USB chargers and WiFi. We stayed here twice and I was pleasantly surprised for the price and the quality. read more

Friendly staff when we called who recalled us when we checked in, clean and comfortable rooms for a great rate. The wifi was free and worked just fine - I watched a movie on Netflix on my Macbook before going to bed. Highly recommended. read more

Good value for the money. Minus on the breakfast as nothing was really hot. And, it doesn't open until 8:00 AM. Room was very clean and nice. The cleaning staff was very accommodating and friendly. Free Wi-Fi, however, and parking lot was safe & secure. Again great value. read more

Great location to fisherman's wharf and cannery row. (Within 2 miles) Rooms are clean and renovated, new bathroom with granite finish. Price was great. read more

My husband and I stayed here last minute on our PCH trip. With it being so cheap I wasn't expecting much, but I was shocked with what we got! We were upgraded upon checking in and our room was immaculate. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in! It was absolutely a great stay and wish we stayed longer than a night! read more

We always enjoy our Pebble Beach week stay at this motel. It's close to everything and very well maintained. Thanks guys and see you next year read more

Have family in from out of state who wanted to stay the night in Monterey. After looking around we found Stage Coach which was the best priced hotel in the area that looked nice. So we booked a room and we were SUPER impressed! SUPER clean rooms. VERY hospitable staff. I even used the laundry room and it was super nice and clean, a little pricey ($2 to wash, $1.50 to dry, $1.25 for detergent) but it worked and got our clothes clean. I was also super impressed all rooms have a little refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. There is also a TV with a lot of good stations and movies. On a side note, the shower is great for tall people! The shower head is pretty tall so you won't bonk your head. There is also a free, small continental breakfast included. We were not too happy at first due to no bacon and eggs and only being told that there's cereal and coffee. However when we went there in the morning for breakfast there were also danishes, mini muffins and toast as well! Overall I HIGHLY recommend coming here. We will be back next year when she visits again!! read more

DO NOT STAY HERE! DO NOT BOOK HERE! I logged into expedia on Wednesday 8/3 and made a reservation for a room at the Stage Coach Lodge in Monterey for Saturday 8/6. I had every intention on keeping trip however on Thursday 8/3 my son woke up with blisters on his face, first we thought it was an allergic reaction. On Friday 8/4 his rash had worsened so we took him to the ER and we were informed he had chicken pox. As soon as time permitted on Friday I went to expedia's website to cancel our reservation only to find out I would be charged the full price of the hotel. I contacted the hotel directly to explain my unexpected situation and was given no assistance I was told that policy could not be broken and charge would not be refunded. I asked to speak with management and was told I would receive a call back. I've called daily since Friday afternoon, I've spoken with a lady named Ash a few times. Once she told me to have expedia contact her and she may be able to give a refund, and two other times she said I'd get a call back from corporate. She hasn't helped at all and gives me no phone # to reach a supervisor or someone above her. I've received no phone call from "Corporate" Expedia said they weren't able to secure a refund either. I've received no resolution and with my son being ill this is causing so much stress and now financial hardship. This hotel is in a busy area and I'm sure they were able to fill the room, I submitted my cancel more than 24 hours before check in time. They didn't even extend an offer or option to use the reservation at a later date. It is ridiculous and heinous that they charged me the full price for a room I never checked into. That is a poor code of ethics. They state they have a 72 hour cancellation policy but my reservation was made on a Wednesday and cancelled on Friday, reservation was for a room on Saturday. Expedia allows you to make a reservation within less than 72 hours of checking yet Stage Coach wants to enforce a 72 hour cancellation policy which doesn't make any sense. There is no way their terms could have been met. They are simply being greedy taking from a small family! read more

My boyfriend and I purchased a groupon for a two night stay for a deluxe or king room. We tried to book this hotel on the weekend and it was completely booked after the promotion expired. (April 26th.) I was very irritated that we had to book on a week day but I did. I wanted to give this hotel a chance. I spoke to the receptionist and he stated that he has no deluxe/king rooms available and that all the weekends are booked and that I should take it up with GROUPON. We booked on a tuesday to a thursday check out. When we arrived, I gave her my groupon and she stated that we are not making any money on this groupon and we are losing money. First off, I am in the hospitality industry and you do not tell your potential customers that you are not making money and all of this. She then states well since you have a groupon I am not going to have a housekeeper for you guys for the next two days. Ummm, really? This was very acward for my boyfriend and I and we didn't feel welcomed there. I paid over 135.00 and didn't get any coffee, no housekeeping, and basically felt like we were being rushed out of the hotel. I gave them 3 stars because of the following: the room was clean, I liked the granite in the bathroom, and the bath tub was a good size. Other then that, I was very dissatisfied with the way they do business. Btw- when we arrived they had major construction in the front of the hotel where you are suppose to park and bring in your luggage. Super inconvenient. Especially if there were people who are handicapped. read more

Stayed here for the second time in a year. Nice clean rooms, spacious with nice amenities: microwave, fridge, safe, big screen TV. The cost is very affordable for what you get. It's not a luxury hotel, but will get the job done when you don't want to spend a lot of money. The breakfast is very simple: cereal and danish, milk, coffee. At least it's something in your stomach to start the day. I originally scheduled our stay in November, but had to cancel. Because I did not cancel before three days out, they would not refund my money. (Who has a 3-day cancellation policy?) Anyways, they let me reschedule for February, but I had to pay in full with no further rescheduling or refund. When we got there, the check in was very easy, and in fact, they gave me an extra $10 off per night without any prodding from me. I thought that was nice. So, beware of the cancellation policy. We were on the 2nd floor and it was quiet except for some noise around 1am coming from what we thought was the room next door, but that room was empty, so not sure what that was about. Also, the bed only had a sheet and no blanket. I don't really like using the comforter as my blanket, and there was no blanket in the closet. I didn't ask the desk for one, as it was late when we discovered there wasn't one in the room. Overall a good place to stay. read more

Room is very clean and comfortable. All rooms were remodeled and property very maintained. Great customer service and friendly staff. We will stay her our next trip to Monterey! read more

We just got back from a fantastic stay there. The staff was wonderful, the decor and rooms were clean and lovely. Free wi-fi, beautiful outdoor setting, and basic, but lovely continental breakfast. We were a little worried about road noise, but even on the first floor, we were undisturbed. Having a coffee maker, microwave, and fridge in the room was perfect for our four-year-old. Overall we couldn't be happier with our stay. read more

Good value, clean room, friendly staff, pretty much walked to anywhere we needed to go. Rooms have a fridge and a microwave which came in handy. Would definitely stay again. read more

If you are searching for a reasonably priced room in Monterey this is it. Bonus-- recently remolded, very clean, quiet, wonderful friendly staff and free breakfast. WOW. It is a little tricky to find this gem but we did it and you can too! Check it out. read more

During a recent trip up the coast with five women representing four generations we stayed at the Stage Coach Inn. Michael at the front desk was very accommodating, making sure we could have rooms close together. He was a source of great information about places to eat and things to see, even providing us with a discount card for a local eatery. The rooms were immaculate, the beds were great and the grounds were very attractive and well-kept. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and plan on doing so this fall. Thank you Michael and Stage Coach Inn for a great stay!! read more

C'mon. To anyone putting this place down with 3 or fewer stars, it definitely better be a horror story. Because for the price, this place is great. I've stayed at a lot of hotels over the past several years, and I can honestly say that among the 4- and 5-star places I've visited in the U.S. and abroad, this is tied with the best for cleanliness. That's a big deal to me, and it should be to anyone. Hard to imagine what could bring a rating down to 2-stars, but I suppose I have yet to try sleeping - we'll see how quiet it is! read more

first the good: 1. room was very clean 2. bed was comfy the not so good: 1. we were quoted one price over the phone and then they added $10 more dollars as soon as we arrived. 2. We had two little kids with us... who sleep with us... and they tried to force us to get a room with two full sized beds instead of the king. 3. Because of our two little kids they decided they had to charge us even MORE, but didn't even give us any extra towels. 4. They technically have free wi-fi in the rooms, but we couldn't get our laptop to connect (and my hubby is a computer whiz) and no one there seems to have a clue about anything. 5. When we finally checked out we ended up paying $40 more than the original quote we got on the phone. 6. The water took a long time to warm up... not so good in a city with a water shortage. 7. This hotel is also almost 3 miles from the Aquarium, so if you are going there, as we did, I suggest finding something closer. In a nutshell, it was clean--which I appreciate--and comfy enough, but I would never plan to stay here again. read more

Bed Bugs! They tried to tell me it was a food allergy. Food allergies don't deliver stinging bites. Upholstered chairs so stained and dirty I needed to put a towel down to sit on them. Bed spread hadn't been washed in a long time. Overall, dirty! read more
