Checked in and went to the room which it was very stuffy and stinky. The door wouldn’t lock correctly and it was on the main floor where everyone walked. No A/C either so we went to the office to ask for another room and the office manager and employee told us there was nothing they could do. Meanwhile other guests are coming in and getting their rooms. After the very rude response from the manager and a lack of care for our safety and their customers, I asked for a refund and we would go elsewhere.
They refused to give us a refund and called the cops on us saying we were disturbing them. When the cops arrived they listened to our side and went to ask the manager to give us a refund.
They returned with a receipt for my refund (which ended up not being my receipt nor my credit card) so they lied to us and the police. Now I have to dispute the charges with my credit card company. The manager and employee were so rude and they did not care about the customers, very shady place. Will never stay here again!

Choose another hotel.
This one is not worth the money.
I looked at several hotels in the same price range and I wish I would have picked any other.
The rooms are incredibly outdated, the beds and pillows are uncomfortable, heater takes forever to work, not a real door (just a sliding glass screen) felt really unsafe, but the worst part is the paper thin walls.
You can hear every word, faucet, and toilet surrounding.
The entire building is made of old, creaky wood so you can also hear every footstep outside. Stomping starts around 5 am.
If you like to sleep in, or sleep at all, or enjoy quiet then just choose a different hotel.
To make matters worse we were given a room under a large family that woke up at the crack of dawn, yelling and stomping extremely loud. It was impossible to rest when they all woke up, their stomps were so loud it would shake our room walls and the glass door. We barely slept. I felt very unrested with a long drive ahead of me and I am frustrated that I spent so much money on such a disappointing hotel.
This place charges like $150 a night and it's barely worth $50. Just do yourself a favor and choose a different hotel.

Yikes. Where do I begin?

I’d like to think that my poor experience at this lodge must be karma against me for choosing to travel during the pandemic. Perhaps I should have known better.

Let’s start with the good.
1. The check-in receptionist is incredibly friendly.
2. Location, location. A hop and a skip away from the beach. 7 minutes from downtown Monterey. You can’t beat that.

But sadly that seems to be the only thing this place has going for it.

The doors do NOT lock. I mean really. We tried. They only lock from the inside when you’re in the room. Talk about safe right?

And to make matters worse, while we stayed there, there was a room throwing a F****NG PARTY near us..I kid you not. They started partying around 9 PM and were banging things around and jumping, yelling, making thud sounds against the walls and floors ALL night long. To me, They sounded to be college aged...I’m 99% certain they did it to take advantage of the fact that there was NO front desk staff at night due to COVID!! This means We had no one to complain to due to their loud noise which made staying here a literal nightmare. And to think, my family is mostly grown. I can’t imagine what kind of hell it would have been to stay here with a baby or children!

When we called front desk to report them, there was no one to receive the complaint.
It’s currently after midnight as I type this and they are still raging on while we are exhausted and desperate for rest.

Literally have had better nights sleep at a motel 6. Please avoid this place at all costs. I don’t care how good of a deal is advertised on t*****z** or G*****n. It’s not worth it to stay at a place where there’s no 24/7 staff to ensure the safety/peace of their guests
