Popular Sea View Hotels Monterey County, Find the Lowest Prices

We booked this place hoping it would be one of the many, very smart independent motels you find throughout CA. Check in was painless and easy. We got a great patio as we had paid for a sea view but it did mean we were around the side of the hotel. The patio doors were surprisingly insecure - held by a small bolt. The room itself was surprisingly small (two double beds), particularly with the fireplace in one corner. The lack of a desk was a shame and we had hoped the room would be smarter/have more character. The bathroom was also relatively small. The beds were very comfortable. Remarkably when we got ready for bed we discovered that the room has no AC - not even a fan! We called reception and they said all the free-standing fans had been given out for the night. We managed to get one our second night but couldn't believe the lack of AC in California - the hotel is older but not so old as to not offer this. The pool was well located and of a good size. However, having been advertised as heated to 80 degrees I would say it was a lot colder. The pool hours (9am-7pm) were annoyingly restrictive, but not uncommon for outdoor pools and explained by the fact that some hotel rooms were right outside it! Breakfast was very poor - a grab and go bag with water, a piece of fruit and an unappetising, dry pastry - which forced us to go elsewhere. Overall given the range of choice and competition in Carmel, and the reasonably high room rate, we were left disappointed. The hotel lacked the character we had hoped for and needs to up its game where AC and breakfast are concerned. We would look to stay somewhere else if we returned to Carmel.

On the side of the highway, Highway 1 chose this place for one night accommodation when coming by car. Hotel environment is average, standard Best Western, free parking, breakfast is available. You can walk to the beach in about ten minutes. The beach is good.

The hotel is near the town center, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the commercial street. It can be said that the location is very good. There are many varieties of breakfast, including orange juice, coffee, yogurt and several kinds of bread. Compared with other hotels, there are more choices. The front desk clerk is very friendly, because the hotel does not have an elevator, so if you have luggage, you can ask the room attendant to help you deliver it to the room. The room is not big, the shower room is not big, maybe it is exhausted to the level of Samsung in China

The hotel is by the road. Breakfast is a simple American style. The bedding was not good. When I checked in, one of the pillows was wet and the pillows felt bulging when they slept. The bed was high, and the mattress was covered with a waterproof and airtight bed cover, which was not breathable at all. Sleeping on the bed was sweating, and there were creaks when turning over. The chill fan in the room is noisy.
