Solo trip to attend a car gathering.  I rented a “ premium room with frig and microwave.  Booked months in advance and the rate was still fair compared to some near by properties.   The room was up stairs and on the end with windows facing out. The room was basic but clean.  Not sure if I was traveling with family if this room would have been acceptable. But as a solo stay was OK.

Good solo stay

Staff was friendly. Check-in was fast and easy. So glad I stayed here rather than the Monterey location, much nicer area. Everything was clean inside/outside. Denny's in the same parking lot. Great for the budget minded traveler. Easy access to Hwy 101.

Location excellent - Great for Budget Minded Traveler

We stayed at the motel with our family after a day driving along Big Sur.  Check in was easy and the staff in the lobby were quite friendly. The room was not too big and it was very basic. No microwave or refrigerator. Beds were extremely soft and not to my taste. There was no breakfast but they did offer some coffee to go in the morning which was nice. The motel is conveniently at a short walk from a Wal-Mart.  All in all, a good place to stay for a reasonable price, albeit with no luxuries.

Basic motel at a reasonable price

my mom, sister and i unfortunately decided to stay at this motel. we paid a little over $500 to stay here for 4 nights. at first glance it seemed pretty decent but very small. the bathroom sink was in the same room as the bed. there was no refrigerator or microwave… not great. the smell in the room was a mixture of must and cleaner. as we settled in, we began to notice things about the room. the first thing i did was go into the bathroom to check the cleanliness of everything. i was met by not only 3 pubic hairs in the tub but an orange booger on the shower wall as well, delightful! we had to literally scrub down our shower before we got into it- which should never have to happen. the tub was just disgusting and looked old. the water pressure that came out of the shower head was absolutely ridiculous. i would describe it as slightly more powerful than a trickles of water… it took twice as long for us (women with long hair) to shower with such horrible water pressure. we assumed it was maybe just a california thing. spoiler: it was in fact not just a california thing. we were given 1 roll of toilet paper and 2 towels for a 4 night stay? we had to make trips to the front office each day to ask for more of both. the towels (if you could even call them that, i’d say they’re large hand towels) that were provided were similar to what i would imagine wrapping yourself up in a sheet of sandpaper would feel like. not only were they terrible feeling, but they were comically small as well. we are small and were not able to wrap the towel around our bodies completely. the toilet paper, as expected, was as thin as can be so it ran out twice as fast. our neighbors above and to the left of our room were loud. stomping, yelling night to morning. the mattress was okay, the sheets had that same wonderful 40 grit sandpaper feel to them, the pillows flat as a cutting board with no support. for $500 this was unacceptable to us. we could not wait to check out and get into another hotel. we decided to wait to complain to both booking.com and the property until we were checked out of the room due to feeling unsafe. it was just us 3 women and we were not comfortable complaining to management about our issues with our belongings inside the room. we checked into 2 different and CHEAPER motels in monterey that were worlds better than this sad excuse of a motel. the other rooms were around the $55 a night mark as opposed to the $65 i spent here. none of them had pubic hairs anywhere in sight, the towels/sheets were not thin and rough, they had refrigerators/microwaves, they were CLEAN. the motel 6 marina management was rude, unprofessional and uncaring. they blatantly ignored booking.com for days and lied saying they were never contacted by them. we had to call in multiple times to try and find a resolution. the manager REGINA was very impolite to my mom and provided no sympathy for our situation. i have moved forward with disputing the charge with my bank since the management refuses to assist us in any way. do yourself a huge favor and do NOT check into this motel. if you are wanting to stay in the area, i’d suggest staying at the monterey surf inn. it’s cheaper, cleaner and much better managed. if you do dare to check into this place, good luck and be prepared to clean your own tub and provide your own toilet paper, sheets, pillows and towels.

Awful Experience

I guess this is Motel 6 policy, but all adults staying in a room have to show their ID and have their information entered into the computer. Having been victims of identity theft, my husband was especially upset with this policy since he works in IT Security and knows how often customers’ data gets hacked from businesses. I understand having to enter the paying person’s information, but requiring everyone to hand over their ID seemed a bit intrusive. Also, the lady at the front desk wasn’t a bit friendly and just said to show IDs or we can get a refund and go elsewhere. 

Get to our room and our feet stick to the floor. Our family of 4 all showered (wasn’t enough towels for each of us) and the next morning I noticed the bottoms of my husband’s feet were filthy! All of the bottoms of our feet were brown from just walking around the room after our showers. We all had to wash our feet before putting on our socks & shoes. It was disgusting! And the hair dryer didn’t work either. Spend a bit more and stay elsewhere!!

Intrusive policy & filthy floors!

Conveniently located off Highway 1.  The room was clean as were the bed sheets and towels.  The laundry area layout was awkward but it worked.  I realize every place in the Monterey Bay is expensive but for the price every room here should have a refrigerator and microwave.

I would stay here again

Room was clean; pretty bare bones (not unexpected) Motel 6 style, with only soap bars, no shampoo or lotions.  Each bed had 4 fluffy pillows which was very nice.  The towels are pretty scratchy though.  Coffee was available in the lobby in the morning, but no coffee maker in the rooms.  Mediocre Denny's available next door.  Not the best Dennys I've been to, but fine for a quick breakfast.
The advertisement states a 4 minute walk to the beach, but it's more of a 15 minute walk.  Still, there is a smallish parking lot, so you can drive there as well.  Nice beach area, not super crowded. Definately worth saving some money staying here over a location in Monterey.

Standard Motel 6 Fare

This is a fairly standard Motel 6--no frills, but clean and inexpensive. The rooms are tiny and the bed wasn't super comfortable, but it was quiet and I got a good night's rest. There was a minifridge, but no microwave. The location is right off Hwy 1, next door to a Denny's. Service was very friendly, and it felt like a safe area. Pretty good for a quick stay.

Clean and simple overnight stay

I stayed here for a quick business trip right when COVID-19 started.  There were several changes in hotel guidelines and policies.  When I checked in all the print outs regarding COVID-19 were placed at the entrance window and in the lobby.  Everything was very easy to read, the guidelines were easy to follow, there was no confusion whatsoever.  I was very impressed with the management in how quickly they adapted to the new changes, especially how well they inform the guests on the do's and dont's.   The managers and the hotel staff also constantly informed me with new daily updates.  The check in process was super quick, only took about 3 minutes.  The room was very clean.  I want to thank the general manager Regina Lal, she really went out of her way to maintain an excellent guest experience for me.  The other manager Robert Burke was also there everyday to assist me with my stay.  The front desk clerk Ron was awesome, everyday I see him, he always had a big smile on his face, I had to extend my stay, and Ron was there to take care of it right away.  The night front desk staff Minako and Jessica were also available when I needed assistance, they were extremely courteous.   The real unsung heroes at this hotel are the housekeeping staff and maintainence crew, they're also cleaning, disinfecting the rooms to keep the hotel clean. This Motel 6 management and staff members really reflected the proper, professional ways to operate during this time of changes.

Excellent Management and Staff

Very close to beach and freeway. Rooms on the interior garden side are quiet. My room was newly renovated and spotlessly clean. All the staff I met at the office was friendly, efficient and smiling. Great overnight stop.
