The hotel was clean, the staff was pleasant and the location was good. I know it could be a bit closer to the sea but really Monterey is such a small community everything is pretty close. We loved having the breakfast available to us.

Although the room was quite small, it was clean, new-looking and had all of the amenities: Microwave, refrigerator, flat screen TV, etc. One of the best breakfasts I've found with sausage and eggs in addition to the usual waffles, etc. Real dishes and plates, no plastic. This is in a great location near everything in Monterey.

We stayed here for two nights during a trip up Hwy One. The Motel was very clean and well cared for. Munras Ave is a main road filled with chain Motels and this one looked the best from the road with lots of potted plants and attractive flowers. The Hotel room was a good size, comfortable bed and a very... More

Motel was convenient to everywhere we planned to visit. Our first impression was that the room was a small for 2 queen beds. The very large recently updated bathroom made up for it. The breakfast had good selections with real dishes and flatware, no paper and plastic. We stayed 2 nights and had no problems with noise or with other... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night and we were gone. The walls are very thin and we could hear our neighbors talking all night. The rooms were clean ad the bed was ok. But do you really want the coffee maker in the bathroom? Their website said they have a heated pool but at check in we were... More

This is a rather basic hotel. The rooms were smelly and noisy. Other guests left their door open with the TV loudly on and that was really disturbing. We had a room on the first floor which was less noisy than those below. Beds were OK. Breakfast was rather hectic and constantly something was missing (no coffee, no bread…). Apparently... More

Thank you Rose for your feedback. We always appreciate feedback but are disappointed that we did not meet your expectations especially at breakfast. We do serve a complimentary self serve breakfast and apologies for not replenishing the food in a timely matter.

The Comfort Inn was a good choice for us, as it was conveniently located nearby the downtown area, and not difficult to find. The cost was good, too. Of course with this comes a concern about the condition of the facility. Based on the other reviews we read, we decided to give it a chance. This time, the gamble paid... More

We stayed here in January. It has a wonderful location, located just across the street from the mall. The room wasn't very big, but typical of hotels in the area. My children loved the breakfast options and that allowed us a quick start out in the morning which is very important since Monterey and the surrounding area shut down early.... More

Rooms are a good size, well furnished and maintained. Nice quality linens and well kept grounds. No traffic noise can be heard in the rooms despite being near a fairly busy main road. There's a good size shopping mall across the road with a few places to eat, mainly fast food ie pizzas, etc. Great for 1 or 2 nights... More

I had forgotten how expensive it was to be in Monterey, especially during spring break week. We normally prefer the Hilton brands with their HHonor points. But since the Embassy Suites in Seaside was the closest property AND cost double than that of Comfort Inn, we chose to stay in Monterey. The room was surprisingly large. We got the two... More
