Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"Good place. The floor was very dirty and I needed to wash my feet twice, but it’s a very nice stay. Well maintained, safe space, and fairly quiet. Walls are a little thin. Very nice stay! I enjoyed it there with my fiance."

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were nice and helpful. The room was nice and clean. The rooms do not have AC, but the staff did provide an oscillated fan. I do wish the pillows on the bed were a little bigger, on the small side for me. Ample amount of available free parking on the premises. The location was great it was close to everything we wanted to do. There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, and entertainment within 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful when driving in this area lots of deer. It was very relaxing we enjoyed the visit."

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"While Hotel Pacific was conveniently located to the wharf, it lacked in a few areas. I was very disappointed with check-in. The wait time was a bit unreasonable. While the room size was pleasant it lacked in cleanliness. Very dusty and cobwebs along the patio door and in the corners. But honestly the worse was the tv remote, clearly it had not been cleaned in months! The patio area outside was disappointing. Very unkempt and the tree roots were everywhere with no manicured lawn! It made sitting outside unbearable. The one thing I can say is that the bed sheets and towels were clean and crisp to the touch. And, the bed was pretty comfortable. Personally, I would have second thoughts about staying here again."

Mariposa Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a Monterey/Big Sur weekend with my boyfriend, his sister, and her husband. Pros: It was fairly affordable overall, the hotel is very cute. We liked the property. The pool is heated and the hot tub is roomy. Rooms are cute with skylights! Great location. Reasonable pet fees. Free water. Cons: "Breakfast" was disappointing. Not restocked frequently enough by staff. We were standing around waiting for hot water, juice, milk, and coffee. There was only hyper processed packaged goods and nothing substantial, no eggs, protein, waffles, nada. Some staff was very distracted and not very welcoming. The woman who checked us in was on a business call for her own business when we arrived and kept going on/off the call with no apology. She didn't even tell us where our room was located without us having to ask or any other info. She also let us carry all our bags without mentioning where the elevator is or that there was a luggage cart. Check in's on the later side, 4pm. I'm personally used to 3pm check in and checking in early if possible. Not to mention, they wouldn't even give us a late checkout. They don't split cards for the check in either. They close the pool area super early, at 9pm. Standard is usually 10pm pool close and I travel fairly often. The hot tub was also not very sanitary. There was some kind of food in it, which we realized a while in when we saw "floaties". Beds were too firm, bathroom fan was broken, towels are so small."

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location, nice room with a very comfortable bed and loved the fireplace. Parking was very easy at the property and the staff was lovely. The breakfast was minimal, but we usually go out for breakfast so that was not a priority. We loved our stay at the hotel and looking forward to returning soon."
