We actually didn't mean to book this Best Western but it did the job. While my family had no complaints, I could have done without the huge pillow that left me uncomfortable and with neck pain. Although, this is often a problem I come across and should probably start bringing my own pillow. Wifi was sluggish and we went periods... More

I ended up here as a result of blind bidding on Priceline. I paid $60 per night ($50 + $10 tax). This price is considerably cheaper than comparable accommodations in Monterey, which is about 10 miles to the south on the freeway. This is an older but well maintained property. It is also within walking distance of a public beach.... More

The rooms are clean, comfortable, & smell good- nice & relaxing. The staff is nice & accomodating. The complimentary continental breakfast was very satisfying with many choices.

We got a reservation for this hotel through Hotwire and were pleasantly surprised. We were looking for something fairly close to Monterey but without Monterey prices. This hotel fits the bill. It's right next to Hwy 1 and just a short 10 miles down the highway to Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, and the beautiful Pacific Grove shoreline. Stay on... More

The hotel was peaceful and very well taken care of.

The rooms were comfortable and the continental breakfast was wonderful. It was also very close... More

To all who are considering a multi day fishing trip up near Monetery. I have found the Best Western located just minutes from Moss Landing at 3290 Dunes Drive Marina, Ca 93933 (831) 883-0300 to be very fishermen friendly. They had enough room to park the boat and allowed us a later than usual check out time. They had one... More

I had read some of the reviews so I was expecting a mixed bag. We have stayed in 5-star hotels; we’ve stayed in some no-star motels, and everything in between. So we were expecting a compromise of something in between. In fact when we drove up I was having second thoughts about my choice, that maybe I should have paid... More

Our room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The clerk on duty when we checked in (Alicia) was very helpful and checked to be sure we were comfortable once we got settled. She was a local and very helpful answering questions about the area. We travel a lot and rarely find a hotel employee who knows anything about the area.... More
