The staff at the reception is excellent (I do not remember his name but he is outstanding. 5 stars for him). The hotel is simple but fair enough, with everything and clean and in order. The room did not have air conditioner but we did not need it because it was a cool night.

Great location for beach walks and access to fisherman’s wharf area. Nice rooms with amenities like mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Decent bathroom amenities. Beds and pillows are a little too firm (compared to places with pillow top mattresses.) Friendly staff, easy check in. Would stay again if immediate walking access to downtown isn’t the priority.

It's my second time staying here during the week. Place is always quiet. Bed is super comfortable. The king size bed room had a fireplace. Room is roomy. I used to live in Monterey near the lodge so it's a treat when im back to be in my old neighborhood near everything. Quick check in and checkour

Walking distance to Wharf, trails, beach & park
Very close to many things. Perfect location. Can walk to beach, wharf/pier, trails, Dennis The Menace Park, Starbucks, Macdonalds, gas station. Staff very friendly. Only complaint would be the walls are very thin-heard neighbor snoring and airplane that flew over sounded like it was going to land right above us. Overall, would stay again! Location & price was affordable.

Wonderful Location!
Aside from a room that was clean and comfortable, I would say that it was a great location. When we first arrived and I saw people directly across the street from the lodge on paddle boats styled to look like swans, I was enchanted. We look forward to returning in the future.

Location was excellent. Right across from the beach. Super accessible and away from the pier and wharf. Right next to a gas station so it's not your destination if you're looking for a view, but it was impeccably clean and convenient. Would definitely stay there again.

My room when first entering had bugs on the comforter, little gnats. The room smelled like death and was so stuffy and also smelled like mold. Toilet didn’t flush right when I arrived. The tv wouldn’t connect to the internet network so couldn’t watch tv. The tub had rust stains that looked like vomit/poo stain. The worker Susan was so rude and kept pressuring me to stay even though I refused. Worst hotel experience ever and so nasty!
