2-Star Hotels in Monterey County

Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked out at 9am. We went for a stroll in the town, and returned after an hour. When we returned at 10am I asked the staff (not the friendly staff helped us check in) if I can use a restroom. Knowing we just checked out, the staff bluntly replied there isn’t public toilet in the hotel, so we’d better use the one in the local park. When we asked if we could go back to our room to use the toilet as it’s still early. His said the cleaners were already in. We then walked to our car which was next to our room, only to find the cleaners hadn’t been at all. Zero hospitality, disappointed.

The location was good, a short walk to Asilomar Beach which is a wonderful coastal trail with deer, bunnies & lots of birds in the early morning (before 7am). Was a bit disappointed that no bottled water was available in the room, and the lobby was locked before 8am and after 9pm when we wanted to get a drink. The coffee maker has water tasting of coffee, which is not ideal for non-coffee drinkers like myself. Toothbrushes not provided. My emails prior to the stay went unanswered. It was suggested that we pay $20 for laundry, and we had to ask multiple times where they either told us it was too early / too late and then to look for housekeeping to ask on our own. Night time is quiet but day time is noisy once housekeeping commences, and in the afternoon we had several calls and knocks on our door from housekeeping when we were trying to rest. They did not wait for us to answer but kept calling. I'm likely to choose a different place for future stays. There are several in this same location that are not as costly. I only chose this because the reviews seemed great.

There are no attractions around the hotel and it takes 40 minutes to walk by the sea. As a temporary accommodation, if you are on vacation, you will be free from entertainment and leisure. Hotel Wi-Fi is not good, maybe I live on the far side, there is almost no net in the room. The hotel has coffee, bread, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, but it is simple but can be eaten. The customer service was not particularly clean. When I went in, I found black stains on the sheets. The front desk sent me sheets to let me change, saying that the waiters were off work. In short, I feel like a hotel.

I lost my passport ，reception help me found it with send email for me ❤️Thanks very much，it’s so kind of reception ，he helps me deliver packages next hotel，it’s important to me，I’m very grateful 👍 Hotel is beautiful,recommend👏

It was past nine o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, and the office was closed. Remember to call the office in advance. They will leave the room number and key card in an iron mailbox next to the office door. It's easy to see. The location of the hotel is very convenient, and the self-driving supermarket is also very close. The price I set is probably not expensive around here, and I think it's pretty good.

The accommodations were impressive, with a spacious and well-maintained room that was both clean and comfortable, creating a restful and pleasant atmosphere. The attention to cleanliness and upkeep was evident, which enhanced our overall sense of relaxation. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the hotel staff. They were consistently friendly, courteous, and attentive to our needs, ensuring that we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. Their warm hospitality contributed significantly to our positive impression of the hotel. Additionally, the hotel’s location proved to be highly convenient. Situated near various dining options and shopping centers, it allowed for easy access to essentials, making our trip more convenient and enjoyable. Overall, we found the Monarch Valley Inn to be a great value for the price. The combination of comfortable accommodations, excellent service, and a convenient location made for an enjoyable stay.

Good facilities, there are fridge and microwave in the room, quite helpful for travelers who want to est something simple for breakfast or dinner. The room service helps to keep the room clean. Downside is it can be noisy at night and can hear the outside when the people outside is loud.

There were some changes since the last time we stay here in 2023. The breakfast does not have any eggs, yogurt, or fruits anymore. They put in a coffee/mocha/latte machine. The heater/fan makes noises so we had to turn it off even though it was colder than we like in the room. Then it was kind of stuffy in the room without airflow. We opened the window for awhile, which helped. The tap water has bleach smell. The staff is accommodating.

Good location, clean small hotel with ironing board and electric kettle. Motels with good facilities in the United States. The 17miles entrance one or two kilometers away is a lot cheaper than living in Carmel

I loved the accuracy on the website. Staff, was very very nice. Rooms are very clean. Breakfast was more expected. The price was perfect. And so close to the beach, awesome!
