Monterey was a beautiful place to visit from hiking Point Lobos to visiting the Aquarium to the 17 mile drive. The stay on the other hand was nice at first, and I say at first because it took a turn. After going out for the day, I noticed there were black spots on the curtains and instantly thought it was mold. I gave the area the benefit of the doubt with it being in a beach town and there being higher humidity and the curtains being right above the heater/ac unit. I called the front office to let them know, and I nice lady came to inspect. She looked at it and claimed it was dirt. I shared the concern of health risks and she said she had risks herself and that if it was mold she wouldn’t be touching it. I know what mold looks like and I know that dirt didn’t look like that. Later that evening, I noticed there was mold on the ceiling over the shower and honestly thought it couldn’t get worse than this. The next day we received a call from the front office about changing the room, and it was rather dismissive. They provided the option to change the curtain and or room, and during the conversation the front office attendant said it would be an inconvenience for her if we change rooms when asked about the process to change. They changed the curtains ultimately, and we are thankful for that. The cost and size of the room was nice, but they say you get what you pay for.

Beware of your deposit

Would give 0 stars if I could. My daughter got the smallest amount of washable crayola marker on the bedspread. I should have tried to get it out but I really didn’t think much of it because it’s gotten on our clothes and stuff before and it comes right out. The following week I look and I have a charge for 113 from the hotel and call and find out it’s a charge for the marker. I couldn’t believe it the woman told me I needed to be more careful in the room and that they are running a business. I asked if I could get a picture or pick the comforter up myself to clean because I could get it out and the woman said she could not do that. I told her I would leave a review so people would know they should watch out to make sure they are not scammed as well and she said okay. I never leave reviews but I would like to stay true to my word. Also think that they should have called and left a message with me to make me aware of this “incidental” but they probably figured they could get away with being unnoticed in transactions.

Where do I start. The owners in the office are rude. There were hairs all throughout the bathroom and in the bed. A red stain on the sheet. I went to the office and the owner was there, she said they had no extra bedding or blankets for that matter. Each room is provided exactly 1. The baseboard was rusted and the bathroom had mold on the ceiling. When you turn on the shower the drain smells like rotten eggs. Then when you wake up, there was conveniently construction going on. Overall, stay at Days Inn right down the street for the same price.
