Monarch Valley Inn Marina at Monterey Bay

The host was very helpful! The internet was non-existent, but the city of Marina is in a bad reception zone. Don’t get excited about breakfast. It was definitely a to go thing. The room was fine, but when I was doing a last minute check of the room I looked under bed and it was obvious that it was not dusted or mopped. Other then the above it was a good place to stay for a quick trip to visit Family.

This was a great small little hotel/motel. Easy parking, very good size room, very clean, everything we were looking for. The best thing about it was the amazing staff/owner. They really made our trip, were so kind to us and especially our little boy! If we are back in the area, we will definitely stay there again.

From the outside it looks a bit off but the inside is like you walked into a different place. The best place to relax and stay examples; the bed comforting that kids will sleep in one place, the dresser is under the tv so there is more room to move arouns

The place is a lot cleaner than a lot of the places I’ve stayed at. It’s located next to a gas station, so you can fill up on gas snacks very easily. The staff is super nice, as well! My favorite part about this place is the historical decor pieces—it was unexpected but it was such a nice touch to our room and we enjoyed going through the 1944 encyclopedia during our downtime!

Check in was super quick and the lady at the desk was nice to work with. The room smelled clean upon first opening the door and the strong smell of bleach, but shortly after walking around the room my bare feet were completely black. The floors need to be cleaned properly. Maybe a couple of times in a row with clean water each round. It was awful. My husband and I had to thoroughly wash our feet and lay towels on the floor to make a trail to the bed so we didn’t get our gross feet in the sheets. The bed was comfortable. The temperature was comfortable. The shower head needs to be replaced. Poor water pressure. Final thoughts….. not worth it. Side note: Marina California must be having some crime issues currently. During our quick trip to Walmart, we saw a van hijacked and drove into a field and obliterated by the thieves before the cops showed up. THEN on the way home, there were a bunch of punk kids destroying a fenced off private property construction site….. We did not feel safe in Marina. Final thoughts… not worth the stay.

Classico Inn americano, a 10 minuti di macchina dal centro di Monterey. Già il fatto che non ci sia la moquette delle camere è indicativo di un livello di pulizia superiore rispetto alla media negli USA. La proprietaria è stata molto gentile, acconsentendo ad un late check in. Unica pecca la colazione, da consumare in camera, che viene consegnata in sacchetti di carta e che quindi è composta da prodotti confezionati e qualche frutto.

One might not think highly of this property because it is located behind a gas station, but the rooms are large and nicely decorated, and the staff are very accommodating and considerate. I was very comfortable and will come back again!
