NOT a highlight

Picked this place without high expectations. The front desk service is very friendly and helpful, but let's face it, this is a plain ol' motel. Rust stains in the tub, no cord for the blinds, no A/C (but we got a box fan in the closet!) Not luxury, not even moderately aspirational. Sorry, but whoever rated this Excellent needs to reevaluate their standards.

This place was conveniently close to the beach and a part of downtown Monterey. It was a very quiet area, very private. The rooms were exceptionally clean, very comfy beds, in all it was a very nice place to spend my weekend in Monterey Bay. When I return to Monterey, I definitely will book a room with this Inn.! The front desk was so helpful, very nice, and accommodating. The common areas were kept very clean as well, I definitely would recommend this place.

The location is great, within walking distance of the Point Pinos Lighthouse and Asilomar Beach. The property itself was fine but not anything special. I was glad that I visited during a quiet tourist time - as it was super easy to hear any and all noise in the units next to me.

Just ok

There is no AC which was fine for us but other may not. One of our beds headboard was broken with screws sticking out. That should have been fixed before guess check in. We took off screws and gave to front desk. The plugs were all loose we couldnt charge anything.
