    The bed and bed sheets weren’t the most comfortable. The sheets were almost too thin and I could feel the roughness of the bed underneath.

    The beds were too springy/bouncy and were difficult for my kids and I to get a good nights sleep in. The rooms were clean, but pretty dated and could use an update. There were lots of small cosmetic issues throughout the bathroom and room.

    The staff were wonderful. They were pleasant and helpful. The fire pit was also a nice addition to the end of our night. The location was fantastic! There was such an ease of access to the quaint downtown area and the local beaches. We also enjoyed how close we were to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. It was quiet and very safe.

    Door to bathroom was unwieldy, sink was in separate room. Room was on the small side the flower bed near front door prevented access for guests with mobility issues.

    So what accessible, fairly quiet, friendly staff. Clean

    The flooring in the kitchen area was really rough and in need of replacement. I would definitely recommend you bring flip flops. We couldn’t find a place to dispose of our recyclables, trash or dog waste.

    The staff was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans and utensils. The location is perfect! You are within walking distance to the beach and downtown Pacific Grove.

    Breakfast was not provided even at this price. The bathroom access for main room is through other bedroom which is awkward. Could have separate bathroom for main room guests. The location is little far from downtown.

    Location was close to asilmar state beach and convenient for morning walk but little far from downtown. The room was spacious and comfortable. Liked separate full bed room for privacy with kids who stayed in other room with two queen beds.

    There was no closet, but just a little clothing rack in the same little little room with the microwave, refrigerator, and the only sink. There was no sink in with the toilet and shower. But it was all doable.

    The cheaper room didn't have air conditioning and we ran a fan the whole time. ( can be kinda loud )

    Monterey is our favorite place to visit but can be pricey. We have found the MP is the perfect location, clean, super friendly staff, and affordable. The rooms are big, shower water is hot, and bed is comfy. We have done their cheapest room and their upgraded room with a kitchen. It's worth the upgrade if you can afford it!
