We love staying here, the location is the best. Right on the ocean front, the upstairs rooms facing the ocean have the BEST view. The rooms are small but clean. We spend most of our time out of our room walking the path along the coast or riding the path to Pacific Grove or to the wharf, so room space... More

Fourth time we have been here and will continue to stay here when we get together with two other couples. Don't come here for the rooms - come for the location, the view, and the surf. More

Yes... it may have been a little old with the decor but we loved it anyway! We slept with the window open all night and listen to the waves crash the coastline. We could see the ocean from our room. It was perfectly romantic! We walked to shops, restaurants, to the park...... great location! More

like others, I am very disappointed with the upkeep and decor. The curtains are stained and dirty, and the room smells like old smoke. This smell is the number 1 turn off for me. If that was eliminated, I might not be as judgemental about this place. If there were just a few fix ups and clean ups, it would... More

Borg's Ocean Front Motel is the place we like to stay when we go see our two sons in the area. There are rooms with an ocean view, but all we need is a basic room since we aren't in the room except to sleep. I might even say The Borg is our first choice! More

We couldn't have found a better place to meet our demands, namely: An unique ocean view, easy access to the coastal trail, within walking distance of Cannery Road and an affordable price. Having searched the net in vain for a hotel with these qualities we stumbled across Borg's Ocean Front Motel by co-incidence - and what luck! In spite of... More

We stay at Borg's every time we go to Monterey! The location is absolutely beautiful, and the people are super friendly. You honestly can't beat the price and the view. My husband proposed on Lover's Point 3 years ago, and we go back every year to celebrate. We usually take a taxi down to Cannery Row, but we have walked... More

We knew we wouldn't be in the room a lot, so we opted for less costly accommodations. As most reviewers state this place hasn't been updated in years. I think if the bed was more comfortable I would have been a lot happier with Borg's. Loved the view and access to the trail along the bay. If you are looking... More

For the location and the price this older Motel is a gem in an otherwise overpriced coastal area. It is nice to know you can still find a decent lodging for a decent price in the Monterey area. The rooms are clean and perfectly adequate, but the location is the best. The motel is right across from the foot/bike path... More
