After reading all the positive reviews we stayed at Borg's for one night. For $125.00 plus tax we stayed in an "Ocean front" room, with a queen bed. The view was great, the sea is across the road. That is the ONLY positive thing I can say about Borg's & that is what you pay for. The windows open onto... More

The view is everything at The Borgs. The rooms are old, the bathrooms are in need of updating, and the beds are ok.However, all that pales because of the view and location. We will keep coming back while this hotel crumbles down around us because what we see out the window and hear all day and night. Its a secret... More

We open our window for an ocean view, very nice plus the crack of your window at night you can hear the waves crashing all night long.... walking distance to many things to do or driving distance in the middle of all monterey or carmel areas. We will go back many times more

If you want to stay oceanfront and listen to the waves crashing, but not pay oceanfront dollars, this is the place. It's a very plain motel, the rooms are small, neat and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. There was lots of free parking, and they provide free coffee/tea in the lobby in the morning. Stayed in a... More

This older, classic style motel is in the absolute best location on the Peninsula, Lover's Point. This is a peaceful, scenic area right on the water with a walking path flowing right through, and you can walk to Cannery Row or to Asilomar Point and beyond. Downtown Pacific Grove is a few blocks up the hill, where you'll find restaurants,... More

This motel has a FABULOUS location, right on the water at Lover's Point halfway between Monterey and the beautiful stretches of beach in Pacific Grove. And yes, you can hear the waves from your window if you're lucky enough to have a room right on the front of the motel. But emphasize the word "motel", as in "motor hotel", as... More

You can't beat the location. It really is right on the water and you can hear the roar of the waves from your room. I stayed in an ocean front, second floor room and the view was beautiful. The price, for the location, was reasonable. However, the room was tired and getting a little shabby. I had cold air coming... More

We stayed at this hotel after our room did come available at another. It has an excellent location on the waterfront where there is a pathway which can be taken to get to the aquarium. There are sea otters out front. It was basically clean but suffered from the slightly musty odors associated with an older property. The bathroom was... More

Borg's is located right at Lover's Point where a park and picnic facilities are right across the street. The view here is fantastic. Otters, sea lions, shore birds are all there for pictures and enjoyment. Borg's is kind of bare-bones, but a real bargain. I've stayed there many times and plan on staying there again...soon!
