Motels in Monterey County

"Upon check-in Raul was friendly and helpful. Upgrade VERY MUCH appreciated !! Like the safe location to all attractions. #1 best place to stay while in town. Parking is appreciated; handicap parking should be free;$25 per night is high perhaps a discount for those with placards. Bath tub backed up @ first use but it was promptly taken care of. Thank you."

"We were so pleased with our stay. The motel is kept in excellent condition both inside and out. There is a pool, vending machines, and a laundry room. We will definitely stay there again!"

"There was blood everywhere and the water was white and dirty. There was men digging outside and the parking lot was a mess. The woman manager was extremely rude and didn’t want my service dog around because she is scared of dogs. They charged my son and promised refund that he never got. Housekeeper and manager walk in the rooms without knocking even with a do not disturb sign. They overwork one young housekeeper and I had to purchase my own linens and cleaning supplies."

"I really wanted to like Lone Oak Lodge because we had such a great time in Monterey overall—but unfortunately, the stay here was disappointing. The biggest issue was the spa situation. The listing advertises an indoor spa, which gave us the impression it was available to guests. In reality, it’s only accessible if you pay extra for a private spa room—and those were mostly booked. We ended up paying additional just to use it for one night, which felt misleading and frustrating. Another issue was the water—it had a strange “soapy” feel that made showers uncomfortable. It didn’t feel clean, which is a big deal when you’re staying somewhere for multiple nights. The room itself was just okay. Nothing terrible, but nothing that justified the price either. There wasn’t even a tea kettle provided, which felt like a basic amenity that should be included. To be fair, the staff was decent and not the problem—but overall, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. For the price, I wish we had stayed at Best Western De Anza Inn instead, which offers a more accessible spa, includes breakfast, and is more affordable. Overall, pretty disappointing. Monterey was amazing—but this stay definitely wasn’t the highlight."

"Great location. Wonderful staff. Large room. Room was clean but the shower and tub had some mold along the inside edges. It was a dog friendly room and I did find some urine on the wall and baseboard. Did not smell like pets were in the room. Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was ok. Overall a good stay. "

"It's location and price were my major selling points for this motel. I was pleased that it was clean and the beds were comfortable. It's really close to the beach."

"Great and friendly staff!! Breakfast is fine. Pool was cold! Amazing location to downtown Carmel. "

"A slightly disappointing stay, had expected better from a Hyatt. The internet was very poor in the hotel bedrooms, but worked fine in the lobby area. The room was very spacious, but the soundproofing was poor & could hear the crying/ screaming kids upstairs/ next door. The patio was very disappointing, just a narrow balcony with a view of a bush. The restaurant was good and the cafe shop & lobby area had nice seating. Overall I would not stay here again & it was not good value for money."

"Staff was great and breakfast was amazing easy parking too but the room smelt of mildew extremely bad making it hard to sleep and the bathroom had black mold in the shower and the hot tub and pool were super unsanitary and super mercky "
