I paid a ridiculous amount to stay at this old motor inn for one night. It would be fine if you can get this room for $100-150 per night and are not planning on spending any time on the property or in the room and need somewhere to sleep and shower. Only two small pillows on a queen size bed when you’re paying too much money per night that’s pretty cheap! My son had to sleep on the pullout sofa. I don’t think there is a pullout sofa that’s comfortable, but the queen bed was not comfortable either. Breakfast was waffles cold cereal, English muffins very basic and not really a good area. It’s very cramped. They set it up in the lobby and there’s only three tiny tables available to sit at. I love Pacific Grove the area around the motor Inn is nice. It just was so overpriced for what it was but that’s a Saturday night stay in July I guess at the beach.

Almost, but not quite 5-star
The walls are quite thing. The couple next door was having a conversation at about 1:30uam, and we could hear them pretty clearly. Also, although the room itself and the side furniture has been updated, the bed clearly had not been updated. I sat down ant the thing squeeked like crazy. Every little move created a squeeking sound that woke me up multiple times throughout the night. The mattress was very lumpy, too. So, a restrful night ws not to be had. Get new beds and new mattresses, and this place would be 5-stars all around.

Decent motel but nothing special.
Basic motel on the PG motel strip. Nondescript motel. Breakfast started after I had to leave. Bathroom door can’t open or close if someone on the toilet. Tile on shower floor looks dirty but probably wasn’t, just a bad color to use.

I feel like the breakfast options can be better. Property was nice and quiet. The parking spots are definitely way too narrow.

Avoid - can’t fit everything in the description
Checked in room & found a used coffee cup in the microwave, presumably from the last person who stayed in this room. Front desk lady & lady cleaning went back & forth on whether she cleaned or not, ultimately the lady cleaning sprayed Lysol in the microwave & wiped it down. Pretty sure that’s not good when heating up food. When we were ready to leave we realized our door wouldn’t lock on the outside. We told front desk lady & she said she would have to call someone to fix it but told us not to worry, we could leave as “no one would touch our things”. We told her we were not doing that as our things were in the room & we weren’t going to chance someone being able to access our things. We were told the person who would fix the door would be there in 15. While we waited my bf asked if we could switch rooms to one that locks, but we were told that there were no rooms available. During this time I was reaching out to hotels.com to see what my options were for canceling & was told that I could cancel but I would need to speak to the hotel regarding a refund - surprise, was told no. While speaking to the Rep we were looking at other places to stay we noticed that the hotel DID STILL have a room available.. after a few minutes (still waiting for the guy the to come and fix the lock) the front desk lady came back & said she now had a room available … a “king” sized bed. While we were putting our things away we heard the lady cleaning argue that she didn’t need to clean the sheets..
