Visited on 5/5/2012 for the first time and was very happy with my stay. Staff at the front desk was both friendly and helpful, and the breakfast included with the room was more than adequate. It is a great location for seeing downtown Monterey. It's nice to have free parking in that area, but drive around behind the hotel to...

Thank you for a very positive review. You liked our free parking and our continental breakfast. Our location is just a 12 minute walk from Fisherman's Wharf, the Ocean Front Rec Trail and
Monterey Beach. Because we have just 51 rooms and a 24 hour front desk, we try to excel
at personal service to each guest. All the front...

ONCE AGAIN....my mother & I would like to express our gratitude to the owner & staff, for making our 5 day stay very comfortable, clean, secure, & hassle free. The bedroom area of our room was very clean, the desk & dresser were also very clean, & the linens smelled fresh. The bathroom area was exceptionally clean as always. Your...

A very decent, quiet and comfortable stay. Very helpful and efficient staff at reception. At the very second I checked in, I got a city map and help on how to get around. The nice and friendly staff just make me feel at home. Sleep was good with more than enough supply of pillows (I believe there were 5-6 of...

Thank you for a very positive review. You liked our bed, our breakfast and more! We are the closest
lodge to downtown Monterey and Fisherman's Wharf. Our guests who walk a bit discover one of our finest attibutes....our location and proximity to all the restaurants that Monterey offers. And the beach is only 4 blocks away. We are the closest...

They only had a room with one bed for my family and me (four of us). It was already past midnight, and their only offer was to cancel my pre-paid reservation and charge us full price on a room with two beds, with not one cent credit for which we had already paid.
When I asked the day manager why...

Unfortunately, one Third Party sometimes books rooms with one queen bed for folks trying to get two Queen beds. The lower rate with one queen bed is seen and booked by the unsuspecting guest and the Third Party rate plan will not allow us to change the bed type. This is likely what occurred in this instance. We find out...

Monterey is a beautiful beautiful place. It has a charming historic European kind of feel to it. The hotel is very central - walking distance to Amtrak thruway bus stop at transit plaza. You can walk easily at a slow pace to Alvarado Street, Wharf and Cannery row. The walk to cannery row was very refreshing with great views.

Thank you for a great review. Many guests discover our location in the center of Monterey like you and you put it into words. Monterey is truly charming and does take some leisure time to discover.
Fortunately from here you can do it all on foot. Our breakfast room has 3 tables for 4 guests each.
And we have 4...

I had mixed feelings about choosing this motel after reading other reviews here... but in the end i am really glad we did!! My family and i stayed for 2 nights and were very pleased! The room was nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The breakfast offered each morning included 2 kinds of...

Thank you for the positive review. We are glad you stayed 2 nights and noticed the room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Our staff is, as you stated, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The new swimming pool looks great and will be open again next week. We started bringing many rooms up to date in the summer and are...

The good points - centrally located , room is clean and good value for money BUT if you are looking for a decent nights sleep then avoid . The position of the 'hotel' is right next to a petrol station on a busy crossroads so traffic noise is loud ALL NIGHT . Ok, so this is maybe to be expected...

Thank you for noticing a few of our strong points being centrally located, clean room and good value for the money. Traffic exists but is not all night long as Monterey is a small, quiet residential community right on the ocean. WE are 4 blocks from the beach The walls are normal and insulated. Some of our rooms have connecting...

Please don't stay here without checking others first.
If you wanna experience the 60ies then you are right at this motel. Although the rooms have been renovated the place itself is quite old. Location is not as great since at least one gas station is in front of the door. Moreover, the Downtown Travellodge is surrounded by streets; ergo you will not have the quietest night. Staff is...

Thank you for mentioning all our rooms have been renovated. We added Simmons Pillowtop beds, Duvet bed toppings, all new furniture,carpeting and a 3 way curtain system in 2009. We also have double-paned windows(really helps with most outside noise issues) and in 2006 added
Amana A/C-heat pumps. Our location is in the heart of Downtown and Historic Monterey,
4 blocks...

Pros: handy for downtown; ample free parking inc. underground; clean; decent free breakfast Cons: overpriced for a motel; tiny pool by main road; fixed shower head means anyone over 5' tall has to stoop! Bizarre design of shower!
Thank you for the response. Our central location is one of the reasons we have so many return guests and the word of mouth on this key point is very strong.
We do have a few shower heads in our 51 rooms that need to be higher and we are fixing those
as soon as we can. Sorry for any...
