Motel 6 in Central California from NZ$94

"Dated, hairs in bathroom on check in. Room had a musty smell. Heated pool wasn’t very warm and was not usable. "

"The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and responsive. Room service was prompt and the food was ok."

"Great location close to the beach and pier. Pool and hot tub are nice. The rooms by the street are noisy but staff accommodated us. "

"Breakfast was excellent, lots of parking, 3 hot tubs, beach view on point. "

"I stayed in the historical side of the building since I had a dog. The room was spacious but definitely old. Electrical outlets were loose and kept falling off, and keycards were not working properly. The lights are dim. There are parking lots that offer free parking from 6 pm to 9 am, and are able to park overnight for free."

"We’ve stayed at a few hotels in Monterey and this is our favorite especially when we travel with our six year old daughter. She loved having the view of the pool and hot tub and we used it a lot. At the spa, Ann Marie gave a fantastic massage. We can’t wait to go back!"

"Very nice place. Older but well kept. Super comfy bed. Would recommend? Yes"

"La Bahía was a really good choice for our honeymoon. The location is excellent, right across from the Santa Cruz pier and beach, and the property felt newly renovated. Everything looked clean, fresh, and updated. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the room itself was spacious and comfortable. We chose a partial ocean view instead of an accessible room because we wanted the better view, and it still worked well for us. For accessibility, the carpet was thick but manageable, the doorways were easy to get through in a manual chair, and the room felt spacious enough to navigate comfortably. The hotel is also right off the main street, which made it easy to roll up and down the boardwalk. There is an automatic door button outside the building, though not one inside, but staff were usually quick to help. The pool and hot tub were standout amenities. The pool had a chair lift available, which I appreciated seeing even though I did not use it. The hot tub was especially easy to use. The hand rails made it much easier for me to lift myself up, move my legs over, and get settled without dealing with slippery tile or awkward entry. Room service was also very good. The only downside during our stay was High Tide. We waited about 35 minutes for one plate of pesto rigatoni, and the interaction afterward with the waitress and manager felt a little awkward. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay and would absolutely come back."

"Great property. Very cool cowboy lobby. Only downside is the carpet in the room. Good rate for the location and amenities."
