First time in Monterey. Hotel very easy to find, right off freeway. Our room was toward the expressway and (up close and personal), so I was pleased that the road noise was OK, especially with the A/C fan on low. Breakfast was average. Parking was adequate, but tight turns. Staff was VERY helpful! Though the hotel was old, it was very clean. The exhaust fan in the bathroom made noise, but didn't take out only humidity .... a small annoyance. « less

Room was larger than we expected and very nice, our only issue was you cannot pull the heavy shades to make the room darker if you want to sleep in a little, all you have are the sheers. But the easy 10 minute walk to the beach more than makes up for it and you don't have to fight for a parking spot to get there. Friendly staff, microwave and fridge in room with freezer compartment, nice breakfast in the AM. « less

I had just gotten back to my room after a very miserable experience whale watching. I was not feeling well at all and needed to use the bathroom (which happened to have a broken lock). Next thing I know, I look up and there is a woman standing there looking at me while I am doing my business. The bathroom was obviously occupied with the lights on and fan running but the maid didn't think to knock. Absolutely inexcusable. I will not be back to another La Quinta again. « less

Upon arrival, check in was not met with an enthusiastic welcome. The first thought I had of our room (220), "Glad I only paid $109.00", second "No down comforter! :( " and third " Why is there rusty, red water coming out of the shower faucet?". After a night out on the town, I was happy to have a nice bed to fall into....I woke up around 3am to an odd smell, like mold or old carpet. The morning light brought to my attention the bathroom, it was in some disarray and could use DIY channel expertise to fix some of the water damage to the shower and surrounding walls. The final eye catching feature was the tile floor, in need of some special cleaning.... I would stay again, since it was only 1 mile from the beach!!! All in all, If I had to compare it to another like hotel, it would be similar to a Motel 6 with 3 Stars. « less

Management response from Stephanie Howard, Director of Sales
Thank you for your feedback. It seems as though the hotel met your basic needs, although there were certainly some issues that we need to address.
First I'd like to mention that we are just getting ready to embark upon a full-scale remodel of the property, which will take some time to accomplish but we feel sure that it will have a really nice result.
Regarding down comforters, our franchise dictates to us exactly which type of bedding we may use, so unfortunately the down isn't an option for us.
And finally, I'm so sorry that your reception seemed less than ideal upon your arrival. We will certainly discuss your comment with our desk staff.
Thanks again for writing, we do hope that you will stay with us again and look forward to that.

Sure, my friends all paid $240+ per night for their hotel room facing the beach, but I paid only $109 per night and am just as happy. The La Quinta Inn, Monterey, Ca is clean and fairly modern, with a very nice and friendly staff. My room hotel-wise was at the end of the hall on the third floor, and I never heard a neighboring room. However, my room DID face the street and there was a decent amount of traffic noise during the day, but at night it was very quiet. I didn't try the free breakfast, but considering so many hotels no longer offer such an amenity, it is nice La Quinta still does. My room was spotless and smelled very clean and fresh upon my arrival. Parking is free, which is not the case in all other area hotels. The grounds are not large, and there is no pool, gym or other amenities, but the property is well-maintained amd well-lit at night. And, also, there was FREE wi-fi (again, for what most hotels charge for). Thehotel is right next to a small park and walking/running trail, and 2 minutes from the beach. Another perk is that the staff I enountered during my stay lives in the area and gave me some great recommendations for day trips and dining options. I would absolutely stay here again. « less

What a really nice review - wow, you just made our day! Thanks so much.
We like to think that we offer a great value for lodging in Monterey, and are so glad that you agree with us. In addition to keeping our room rates as low as we can, we believe that the free breakfast, Wifi, and parking add a lot of value to our hotel as well.
Reviews like yours let us know that we're on the right track and again, thank you SO much for your generous comments. We look forward to seeing you again next time!
