Great location, very clean, well kept, staff are friendly and helpful. California taxes are pretty steep. Complimentary or discounted parking would’ve been helpful.

8/10 Very Good! (1,467 reviews)
It was an average experience. The first room we got (a standard room) wasn’t great—the carpet felt old, and the room didn’t feel very comfortable. After upgrading for $20, we received a much nicer room for the price, and we were happy to stay one night at the Monterey Hotel.
