Me and my partner went for the night and at first everything was fine. We did have to pay for a pet fee after we chose the pet friendly room which I was not expecting, she originally told us $45 and then switched it to $50 when we pulled out cash. Not a big difference whatsoever but I did think it was a little odd. Our bathroom was very small, and there was black mold in the windowsill. The lady at the front desk wasn’t very helpful, and I definitely would not stay there again but the room served its purpose. The black mold was definitely our biggest concern. It’s quite close to the pier and downtown which was nice but we still chose to drive as it is a little bit of a walk. There are great restaurants within a 10 minute drive tho!

The area is convenient. At check in as soon the receptionist knew we made our reservation through Expedia she knew the room number. The room was not anything like advertised. The furniture was outdated, the bed sheets were stained, the restroom faucet leaked, no curtains, no sliding door, the mattress is cheap spring mattress, and thin blankets. For the price and advertising I was expecting something better.

Ice machine was broken, screen on bathroom window was torn off, could not get regular cable channels on TV- pretty frustrating. Simple things that should work.

The location was convenient to go to both downtown Monterey and carmel. But our room remained dim even after turning on every light and lamp in both the room and the bathroom. The bathroom was also very old with the padding around the shower head exposed and the walls breaking down from all the moisture. The soap box in the room was also broken. Luckily there was a piece of soap by the sink. Overall the inn would be a place to stay if you were only in Monterey for a night, but if you are planning to stay longer, another place would be more comfortable.
