Excellent size rooms, quiet although close to a main road. Extremely clean and fantastic value, we could fault nothing and there is an excellent restaurant right next door. There is nothing to dislike.

We loved it! I have stayed in this motel already in 2016 and I was very pleased then. This time, I was highly impressed by the new renovated rooms. Everything is brand new and the bed (mattresses) are so comfortable! It is about 15 mins drive away from the 17-mile-drive and offers everything you need. Highly recommendable.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and nicely furnished. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Location is excellent - restaurants, shopping and While Foods Market are across the street and easy to walk to, and Cannery Row is a fast and easy drive away as is the road to Carmel and Big Sur. Gods value for the price. I am glad I chose Days Inn for my stay.

We had a pleasant stay at Arbor Inn Monterey! The room was clean and comfortable, providing a nice space to relax after a day of exploring. The location is great, with easy access to all the local attractions.

It's a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Monterey!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Super 8 Motel in Monterey was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, particularly Mike, went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy retreat after a day of exploring Monterey's beautiful surroundings. The attention to detail in the room's decor and amenities truly exceeded our expectations, making us feel right at home. What truly set this Super 8 Motel apart was the exceptional customer service we received, especially from Mike. His willingness to go the extra mile became evident when we realized we had left our laptop behind. Mike stepped in promptly, assisting us in arranging for its safe return via UPS. His efficiency and genuine concern for our belongings left a lasting impression and elevated our overall satisfaction. The convenience of the motel's location, coupled with the outstanding service we received, makes it an easy decision for us to return on our next visit to Monterey. We can confidently recommend the Super 8 Motel to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and stress-free stay. Thank you to Mike and the entire team for making our trip so enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon!

Monterey Pines Inn is a great place to stay in Monterey. It was very clean and the staff were very nice. It also has free parking which is a plus! It would take a little long to get to the main area of monterey so we got an Uber ($8). I would definitely stay again! Thanks for a wonderful stay 😊

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

IT Was Terrible to receive a phone call from the hotel letting me know that my reservation was canceled and I had to scramble at midnight to find a terrible motel 30 minutes away from Monterey at a higher price because you overbooked and according to the guy that called, my reservation should not have been made!

The lady at Reception was really friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size, particularly the twin room with a coffee machine which was very welcome. The rooms were clean and tidy although they could do with replacing some cracked tiles. The location is on a main road with places to eat nearby and just a short drive to the beach. There was plenty of free parking. We didn't have time to use the pool but it looked nice. The motel felt safe with a pretty exterior. We had a really pleasant stay here.
