I stayed here overnight for a Spartan Race and it was exactly what I needed. The location was central to everything, which made getting around super easy. The beds were nice and soft, and the shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. Parking was also very convenient. Overall, a comfortable and hassle‑free stay.

Villa Franca Inn is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable stay in Monterey. Located 20 minutes (walking) and 5 minutes (driving) from fisherman’s wharf, it’s in a nice location. Parking is free, check in/out is quick and easy, staff were kind. Room is simple, but spacious. Had no complaints for the price paid. Walls are a bit thin, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for place.

I loved the Villa Franca! No, it’s not a fancy hotel, but a clean, family run motel. It’s small, but there was enough parking for the 8-10 rooms, and I liked the view across the street of grass and trees. Yes it’s on a street, but it’s not very busy. Just a few blocks away is the ocean, and pier. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Didn’t smell like smoke, thankfully. Appears to be family run, I saw three generations. Last year when I stopped in Monterey, I found that long row of 20+ motels and hotels all on one street. I thought I’d just go there again, but I’m glad I found this place instead. This will be my favorite stopover to return to every summer!.

Decent on-site parking, comfortable beds, well-maintained and clean for the most part. About a 20 min walk to the wharf. However, there were a few issues. We were in a corner room, which unfortunately for us meant no real window other than the frosted glass over the beds, so yes we had natural light, but it was a bit disconcerting not to have a view to the outside. Additionally, the room was VERY small. And finally, the one chair we had was badly stained, such that we did not want to actually sit on it. So our only option was to sit on the beds. Our experience did not match expectations from the pictures included in the listing. Bottom line, it’s functionally adequate, but we would not stay here again.
