Quiet sleeping, high ceilings, clean, everything is working, very nice and responsive service at front desk. Very cheap for the quality also! I very much enjoyed this hotel. It is 10 minutes by car from Monterey and the ocean, but otherwise is very nice place.

"Forget about room service! feeling hungry ? call dominos" That was the back side of the key to the room we got. Besides that, the lodge was reasonable and the room was clean and comfortable. breakfast included muffins and cereals. It's very close to Monterey (10 min drive to the sea lions bay) and is substantially cheaper

Shortly after checking into our room, the toilet flooded, flooding the whole bathroom with water and urine. Since no one was at the front desk after 12 am, we called the emergency number that was posted to the office door. The guy that answered us did not offer a new clean room, but promised the maintenance guy is on his... More

I was a little nervous about staying here because this place has gotten some pretty terrible reviews, but I couldn't find anything else at this price so I just crossed my fingers and went with it. Like the title says, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel really was. I mean, it isn't a Westin or anything so... More

We booked the last two days of our vacation in this hotel because it was AAA rated, a good deal, and we just wanted to see the Aquarium on our way home from Northern Cal. I sure wish I saw some of the reviews on this page before I booked through AAA. We paid for two nights but only made... More

Rooms are small and smell. The room freshener provided couldn't quite cope. Pool is supposed to be heated, but was clearly not heated. We booked a deal via Expedia which included free internet, but when we arrived our room didn't have internet. The hotel wasn't too busy so that we were able to have our room changed to one which...

I booked this trip through Priceline. At the end of the booking process, it gives you important hotel check-in details and states "All rooms will accomodate 2 adults. Bed type requests (king, queen, 2 doubles) or other ie non-smoking or smoking should be requested through your confirmed hotel" which I did. When I called Magic Carpet, the lady at the... More
