"Love these nostalgic properties! So many nooks and crannies to sit and relax are scattered throughout the property. Almost as if you would expect Garbo or Bogart to step out of the shadows. The hotel is also a stop on the Monterey ghost tour!"

8/10 Good
"This hotel is beautiful & is close to everything. The rooms are spacious & nice . The breakfast was good. My only complaint was that our room was on the ground floor facing the street. I asked to change rooms if possible but staff member said no because all pet friendly rooms were on the ground floor. The 2nd floor also has street side because the hotel sits on different levels. She did not even discuss other rooms options with me. We pay an additional $50 for our pet & we donโ€™t get other options. This isnโ€™t right."

"It is a nice facility. The only complaint I have is that there is absolutely NO service - no matter how long you stay. You have to take out your own trash and ask for clean towels. This is not something we've had to deal with at any other Motel 6."
