Cleanliness of the property

comfortable but basic stay

The minimalist design in the Queen Room suited my taste, especially the hardwood floors. The pool provided a refreshing escape after a day of exploring.

The overall experience lacked luxurious touches.

This place was a smart choice for shopping in Monterey with attractive and competitive value for money. The staff were friendly and the check-in process was quick. Make sure to arrive early to get a good parking spot.

We had a wonderful three-night stay! The indoor pool was a hit with the kids, and we loved how clean the rooms were. The beds were super comfortable, making restful nights easy after our adventures in Monterey.

The room was nice and clean, with a comfy bed and a mini-fridge that made my stay hassle-free. I loved unwinding by the heated indoor pool and soaking in the sun loungers after a long day. Just a heads up, the bright lights outside the room could make it tough to sleep, so bring a sleep mask! 😊

The room was spacious and clean, and having both a microwave and a large mini fridge made it convenient for snacks. The heated pool was a highlight, providing a comfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the hotel was near the airport, leading to disruptive jet noise, and the shower had a frustrating trickle of water. Despite its decent price and good location for attractions, the overall experience was less than ideal.

Cute little spot! The room was clean and cozy, and the hardwood floors were a nice touch. Conveniently located, it was easy to pop around to nearby attractions.

However, the walls are as thin as my patience on a bad day—kids running around made it hard to snooze. Who knew a queen bed could feel so… cramped?

The room was super clean and spacious, which was nice. The comfy beds made it easy to relax after a long day. I loved the little extras like toiletries and the mini fridge with a microwave—that's a huge win! The pool area looked great, though I didn’t use it. Overall, it felt like a solid choice for the price.

I had a great experience at El Castell Motel during my recent business trip. The room was clean, modern, and spacious, with ample lighting and a comfortable workspace that facilitated my needs. The Wi-Fi was reliable, which was essential for completing my tasks. Additionally, the indoor heated pool provided a nice relaxation area after a long day. The staff were attentive and addressed any questions I had promptly.

There was some noise from neighboring rooms at times.

Had an awesome time with friends! We visited the aquarium and explored Cannery Row. The room was clean, and the pool was a great way to relax after our adventures. Be aware that breakfast area can get crowded. Overall, a cool spot to chill with friends!

The only downside was that there were ants in the bathroom, which was a bit off-putting during our stay.

i previously stayed in a different hotel in monterey, and this place really exceeded my expectations. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were great, like the heated pool that the kids enjoyed. the location was perfect, close to attractions and allowed us to make the most of our time in the area.

breakfast options were very limited.

I was impressed by how clean and well-kept the property was, especially the lovely indoor pool area. It felt very safe and accessible for seniors, with clear paths and helpful staff ready to assist.

Additional handrails would improve bathroom safety.
