Horrible filthy room. The sheets all had stains, the bathtub was rusted, and there was trash left in the room from the previous tenants. We left immediately.

We had a great time in Monterey. The Red Lion was tolerable but nothing beyond that. the staff interactions were quick and friendly but the facility needs help. Much maintenance has been deferred way to long. the doors to the room and bathroom did not close easily or quietly. Needs paint everywhere and there were holes in the curtains. The coffee maker was present but no pods, cups, or condiments. The television sound would cut out. The photos of the motel are way out of date and the restaurant no longer exists.

There was a mistake with the reservation date and the only assistance I was given by the front desk and manager was ( you can go back online and rebook but it will cost you more and we won’t refund you for the room you weren’t able to check in for ) . They just said “ make Expedia refund you ! “

One of the worst stays I've ever had. Not a hotel more like a motel. No restaurant. No ironing board. Virtually no amenities. Looked like a murder room with stains on the curtains and ceiling.
