The motel felt clean and slightly updated. Parking was a little hit or miss some nights, but free. It’s located very close to downtown Monterey, very walkable. But also located on a VERY loud intersection where a great many cars seem to race around and rev engines for some reason. Not the motel’s fault but still needs to be known. I sleep like the dead and the revving woke me up every night. Overall, it’s a reasonable stay in a clean/safe motel.

Great spot

The rooms were basic but very clean. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great spot, near lots of bars and restaurants and very close to the seafront.

For the price, room was nicer than expected. There is a heated pool, coffee machine, and refrigerator. It can be a little loud. The parking lot is limited, small and tight. Upon our attempt to check in, the front person was not hospitibal and let us know that if we had booked our room directly through them we would have been able to check in early. "Since you chose to book your stay through a third party and not through us, we cannot offer you an early check-in and you must remove your vehicle off the premise and come back at 3pm."

The steveson hotel was small than i thought but it was spot on for my basic needs. Driving Proximity to the wharf and Monterey Bay Aquarium only 5-8 minutes. Room and beds were clean and suprisingly comfortable than expected. Slepted 4ppl. Bathroom was basic, walk in nice hot shower, extra towels. Coffee maker, small ref, heating/ air all worked but fyi must use controls on the wall not unit. Had free coffee in the lobby, an elevator (3 storys) and additional under ground parking. Had decent pool but was to cold to swim. Next door on corner is a cheveron/mart and across the street was a Dennys. 10-12minute Walkable distant to the beach/ wharf,a park with a lake (park was nice very kid friendly and multi purpose)and places to eat. One of the only things, i thought and wished it had was a free continental breakfast. Must have been on the website before. And the upper parking was tight hence below parking and front desk said street parking can park till 11am, also at night seemed safe, well lit and fairly quiet late night and earlier morning for being on a corner lot, and a holiday weekend. Better pricing considering last minute booking and proximity. The front desk was cordial and informative. Overall, was a good stay and i would book again.

Clean and basic with friendly staff

The hotel is dated and the room is basic. But, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The room and the hotel in general are clean and tidy. We didnt use the pool but it was clean and open for use. The bed was clean and comfortable. There was tea and coffee in the room and extra in the reception area. There is plenty of free parking, with camera security. The hotel is 10 mins walk from fishermans Whalf and there is a Dennys over the road that do a nice breakfast.
