It all depends on context. I visited this property during Monterey Car Week when even the Motel 6 is a $600 a night investment. The motel has a very convenient location and the staff was great with 24 hour per day on site security ensuring that the place was as safe as possible. With all that said, the rooms are outdated and a bit worn, though relatively clean. During MCW, I have stayed at places running the entire gamut from $1800 a night to motels like this. Overall, I think the value was great and I would recommend this during those high leverage occasions when the budget doesn't permit spending several thousands of dollars for what is a bed for a few hours a night. As long as your eyes are open and expectations realistic, it wasn't a horrible experience.

Economy Inn Monterey, Don’t Go

Hate to be negative but Hotels.com should pull this one off the list. Where do I begin. Patch job walls with no paint, Holes in floor, wouldn’t dare take a shower in the moldy shower (I don’t know if I am up to date on all of my vaccines). Sheet’s were clean. Staff was nice but that didn’t make up for the lack of maintenance to the room. I know it’s a budget hotel but budget some money for upkeep…

I guess you get what you pay for. This motel is actually inhabited by some longer term guests. The guy in the next room went back and forth between making phone calls and watching TV, both at max volume until 4am. We had to walk to Walgreens for earplugs. Everything is dirty or stained, from floor to ceiling including the linens and towels. Those are the things that were important to me (a quiet place to sleep and a clean atmosphere). As for the things less important, but equally as terrible- TV color all yellow, no cups in the room, no ice machine. Woke up to a fire truck and ambulance at 5am. Glad they were there to help someone struggling, hope he’s okay. Needless to say, if you have more than $150/night to spend, do it!

This is a very run down old motel that appears to have not been updated ever, including the computer system when checking in. I was the only one checking in & it took at 15-20 minutes for the man to write out my info. The mattresses are very very old & springy. The sheets were covered in hair & nothing in the room seemed to be cleaned thoroughly, so we went to the local Costco & bought bedding, a comforter & pillows as the room didn’t feel clean at all. The room smelt like someone smoked a few packs of cigarettes in it for weeks & we left the window open & put on AC but couldn’t rid the smell. The positives are the location as there were plenty of food places in the surrounding areas & that no one bothered us with noise or anything else.

After checking into the room we checked the bed, there was a cigarette burn on the sheets, the pillows had visible stains(not sure if it was blood stains or mold), the walls above the bed had hand print marks as if the last tenants were having sex on the bed( we are unsure if it was properly cleaned), there was graffiti on the door, the lock was damaged, the walls are stains, the furniture was broken, mirror in the bathroom had stains from the last guest, the ground had visible dirt, the shower head had visible scum on it. We didn’t even feel comfortable sitting on the bed! We spoke with management, they offered a new pillow or a new room for the next day (meaning we had to stay in that room for the night)!! Then he lied about our possible options after that! We highly recommend spending more money elsewhere!

The room was clean but the place needs some improvement. Bathroom is old, faucets needs replacement and the airconditioning need some cleaning as the smell coming out is nasty. There was no access for charging close to the bed. We just slept for few hours and check out early.

I knew the property wasn’t going to have any luxuries or be fancy. But the place can really improve on the cleaning. Besides having mismatching old furniture, the room wasn’t really clean. Bathroom had stains from a previous leak.

Don’t stay here unless you absolutely have no other choice. Don’t believe the photos online. Good thing we only stayed 1 night. The neighborhood is quiet. When we got there I went to the office which needs a much needed makeover. The gentleman at the counter must live there because office door was open to living. What a mess. Then we get to our room. It had a terrible order. Furniture is all old and chipped and mattress didn’t fit the bed frame. Tv wouldn’t turn on. The floor was very sticky as well as the tv control. Tub had parts broken, lamps had no lampshade. The front door looked as someone tried to get in with screwdriver all banged up. Walls looked as if they hadn’t been painted since it was built. There were big holes in baseboards and we didn’t have any towels. I would not recommend this motel! And it definitely way over priced at 179.00 a night. Don’t always believe the photos posted. Read all the reviews before you book.

This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.

Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.
