Tv cable didnt work. Asked to get it fixed they said they would but never did. Said breakfast included but it was a brown bag breakfast like your mom used to pack for you. Not a top notch place
Great service at check in. Love being offered a bottle of water -- very thoughtful. Clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Room has a microwave and refrigerator. Very generous brown bag breakfasts - most places in Monterey don't offer anything. There is a convenience store at the adjacent gas station, so this is a very convenient location. We will be back.
Stayed here for a short trip to Monterey and it was a bit of a disappointment. One of the walls was punched by a fist, the wall paper was peeling and dirty, and the pillows were really really flat. I don't know if I consider the brown paper bag of random snacks, "breakfast". However, the staff was very friendly, and cordial.
We stayed at this property over the weekend for a biking event in Monterey with the rest of our group. The rooms are clean, location is convenient to the restaurants and there’s even a gas station in the property. Sarah the manager is very accommodating and she went above and beyond our expectations. Staff is awesome. We will definitely come back!

This is fine if you just need a bed and cup of coffee in the morning while visiting Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel or Pebble Beach.

Room wasn’t ready. Opened the door to a dirty room and had to go back to reception and get another room/key. The second room was clean, but drapes were falling off the window and handle was broken on the microwave. Also, reserved a room with 2 queen beds, and it was 2 double beds. Made for an uncomfortable sleep. Went in the am to discuss with front desk, but there was nobody there.
You can tell that the room had not been used for a few weeks. There was food in the refrigerator back from April 3rd based on the receipt attached. It was dusty as well. But aside from that it was decent. Area is nice if you drive some miles.
Wouldn’t stay here. Walks are thin so you can hear all the people around you, room is very small, and it’s located right off a busy street with lots of car and ambulance noise.
I booked two rooms for a trip with my family and my dad for my daughters birthday. I have never stayed in the area before and was unsure but it was in my price range. Definitely glad i picked this place. Staff was super friendly and absolutely amazing!!! The rooms were spacious and clean!!! I never once felt unsafe which was huge to me being in a new area. They even had a great little packed breakfast for us in the morning that was full of healthy great food!! My dad and my 4 kids (age 15 - 22) were very happy with it all as well. I will definitely be staying here the next time i come to Monterey!!!!
Pretty clean and spacious for the price. Great forward base for Carmel by the Sea

The facility was very nice with a lot of potential. The rooms could use updating but were still in good condition. Our TV didn't work but the staff worked hard to upgrade us to another room. We were very happy with our stay.
Don’t expect daily room cleaning. This property overbooks and won’t have sufficient staff to clean your room. Staff was apologetic and seem to care more for the “regulars”. Stayed 4 nights and staff had room cleaned only once with trash already piling up. Essential supplies were not re stocked. Location is inconvenient and in the middle of nowhere. Breakfast is okay and the room is clean upon check in. After which, you are on your own. Exterior of building is dusty due to trucks and cars from the street. Noise is bothersome. Won’t be coming back.

Grab and go breakfast was adequate (and we knew not to expect a full hot breakfast). Some work being done on the room still (former Howard Johnson). Front desk staff was super friendly. They even called during the day to check what time we’d be arriving so staff would be ready. AC/heater unit was nosier than average.
This is the third year in a row that we stayed here at the Monarch Valley Inn on our bike tour from Davis to Santa Barbara. We have loved staying there every time. The staff have been extra nice. The room is perfect, and the breakfast bag is enough to get us going on our riding for the day! We highly recommend the Monarch Valley Inn.
Very courteous, respectful and caring staff. Very clean and comfortable room. Bed was just right for my sleeping comfort.
Gas station and small convenience store in adjacent. Relatively easy hwy access. Close to grocery stores.and dining. Will stay again!

Room was nice. Loved the microwave and refrigerator.
The people who ran the property were the nicest people.
Loved the breakfast bags. Only complaints: Shower didn't drain properly, and I hate standing in 3 inches of water when I'm showering. And took forever for the shower water to heat up from cold to warm.
