Monterey County Motels

We booked this place hoping it would be one of the many, very smart independent motels you find throughout CA. Check in was painless and easy. We got a great patio as we had paid for a sea view but it did mean we were around the side of the hotel. The patio doors were surprisingly insecure - held by a small bolt. The room itself was surprisingly small (two double beds), particularly with the fireplace in one corner. The lack of a desk was a shame and we had hoped the room would be smarter/have more character. The bathroom was also relatively small. The beds were very comfortable. Remarkably when we got ready for bed we discovered that the room has no AC - not even a fan! We called reception and they said all the free-standing fans had been given out for the night. We managed to get one our second night but couldn't believe the lack of AC in California - the hotel is older but not so old as to not offer this. The pool was well located and of a good size. However, having been advertised as heated to 80 degrees I would say it was a lot colder. The pool hours (9am-7pm) were annoyingly restrictive, but not uncommon for outdoor pools and explained by the fact that some hotel rooms were right outside it! Breakfast was very poor - a grab and go bag with water, a piece of fruit and an unappetising, dry pastry - which forced us to go elsewhere. Overall given the range of choice and competition in Carmel, and the reasonably high room rate, we were left disappointed. The hotel lacked the character we had hoped for and needs to up its game where AC and breakfast are concerned. We would look to stay somewhere else if we returned to Carmel.

The location is very good, the parking fee is charged, it is fun to have a fireplace, but the room is still cold! The room I lived in was upstairs, dragging my luggage upstairs, I was really tired and vomiting! Breakfast is ok!

On the side of the highway, Highway 1 chose this place for one night accommodation when coming by car. Hotel environment is average, standard Best Western, free parking, breakfast is available. You can walk to the beach in about ten minutes. The beach is good.

absolute perfect get-away! My wife accompanied me on a two-day business trip and was able to walk to the beach, see sea lions and sea otters in the inlet. It was a great place to relax and enjoy our time. There are several restaurants within walking distance for breakfast lunch and supper. Our room was very clean and well equipped. The owners are always willing to be of assistance if needed. We definitely plan on returning to the Captain's Inn and would highly recommend it to others.

Read a lot of the reviews and thought ”oh no” but upon arrival couldn't have been more wrong. Great service at front desk, nice breakfast, all the staff around the grounds were very friendly. This is ”not” just off the highway, it's just off the road-it's a ”comfort” stay so if you're expecting more than that pay the extra money and get your needs taken care of. This place crossed off all the boxes for exactly what I was looking for. Not a bad area; great place to run down by the ocean which is just a short jog away. Good access to Cannery and Carmel and heading to Big Sur is easy from this location. Small pool which I didn't use-I didn't find the noise bad at all-I was on the first floor and the hotel was pretty busy when I was there (It was Jazz Festival) ambient crowd noise outside was not a bother at all because there was non. You get what you pay for here and that's it but for what I paid I'd come back here just for the service alone. Enjoy your stay

The moment I walked into this Holiday Inn Express, Tony at the front desk set the tone for our visit....horrible. I walked in very friendly. Gave him my last name for check in and he immediately told me the CC I had reserved with didn't go through and he was about to cancel my reservation. He said I was lucky I walked in when I did otherwise he was about to cancel us. So much for a nice warm welcome & thank you for choosing our hotel...not. I told him that the CC I had used to book had been stolen and I put a different CC with my app. He was rude and brushed me off. Our room was large but dated. The hide-a-bed was very uncomfortable for my teen, all coils & uncomfortable. The 2 queen beds were ok but squeeky. The room wasn't super clean. The shower curtain was broken and when we used the shower the handle to turn water to shower mode came off. Our in room phone did not work. I sent my son down to the lobby to get some extra sheets & pillows for the hide-a-bed, Tony only gave him 2 blankets. He said they didn't have any more pillows or sheets. Whaaaat??? You don't have extra sheets & pillows??? My husband then went down & asked Tony for the sheets & pillows & Tony said he would be up with some. 30 minutes later he arrived. Breakfast was horrible. Coffee grounds in our coffee. Very limited menu. Attendant to serve us was no where to be found, had to ask front desk for help. We have been traveling all week for our kids Spring break and staying in various hotels along the central coast of California and this hotel has been the worst. Do not book a room here. Very disappointing.

Very comfortable hotel conveniently located in downtown Monterey and short distance from 17 Mile Drive. Rooms are spacious and staff is very friendly. Room amenities are: individual sized coffee pot and mini fridge as well as standard hair dryer, toiletries and iron. Microwaves can be delivered to your room by request at no additional cost. The Marriott has a bar and serves breakfast (not included in room rate) and other meals. It is connected to the Monterey Convention Center so if you are attending a conference, this is the best place to be. If you need parking, be aware, only valet parking is available at $40 per day with in and out privileges. There are a couple parking garages with hourly rates within a couple block walk, they do not have in and out privileges. Valet service takes about 10-15 minutes to get your car depending on time of day. Mornings were a little longer wait. Wifi is not free unless you are a Bonvoy Member, you can sign up on the spot. Would stay here again.

Very cost-effective and suitable for families traveling by car. It only takes 5 minutes to drive to the pier. Stayed for two nights and would choose to stay here again if given the chance.
