The room was as expected, slightly smaller than I thought from the pictures but still a good size with a big bed. All very clean and the bathroom had a great makeup mirror. It was easy to find with plenty of parking. There is a shopping centre over the road and is close to restaurants and the sea. It is also about a 10 minute drive from Carmel. Room was well equipped with a safe, microwave, fridge and keurig, iron and ironing board.
The room never got fully dark because there were just shutters and a really bright light outside the room. We could hear a really loud tv the first night until late. Not the hotels fault but just bear in mind that you may be able to hear neighbours. We let the staff know who said they would sort it if it happened again but thankfully it didn’t. The fridge also made a loud noise intermittently through the night. A pet peeve of mine in hotels is when the tv has capability for Netflix, YouTube etc but it’s not enabled. This was the case here which I was surprised by given the price.

I love how big the room was. It could accommodated more than just my family. I also like the fact that it was clean. I love how the little coffee and refrigerator area had a door to close so you didn't hear the fridge running at night. Opening the windows to get fresh ocean smelling air was nice too.
The only thing I could say I really didn't like was the shower. The water pressure and the shower head weren't my favorite.

It was clean and inviting. It felt safe. Safety is very important to me as a female when I travel alone. Cleanliness is #1 as I work in healthcare and infection control is #1. This felt very clean and safe.
I think the heater was malfunctioning/ I booked last minute and arrived after midnight. I came to a room that was in the late 50s. It felt so cold! I turned the heat on high but the highest it got was 63. This is truly not acceptable!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Super 8 Motel in Monterey was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, particularly Mike, went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy retreat after a day of exploring Monterey's beautiful surroundings. The attention to detail in the room's decor and amenities truly exceeded our expectations, making us feel right at home. What truly set this Super 8 Motel apart was the exceptional customer service we received, especially from Mike. His willingness to go the extra mile became evident when we realized we had left our laptop behind. Mike stepped in promptly, assisting us in arranging for its safe return via UPS. His efficiency and genuine concern for our belongings left a lasting impression and elevated our overall satisfaction. The convenience of the motel's location, coupled with the outstanding service we received, makes it an easy decision for us to return on our next visit to Monterey. We can confidently recommend the Super 8 Motel to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and stress-free stay. Thank you to Mike and the entire team for making our trip so enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon!
All good! Will return.

Location is a convenient location for attending a race at Laguna Seca Raceway, and also reasonable close to restaurants and attractions of the Monterey waterfront.
Property is older but clean and well kept, but the room air conditioner was rather noisy, so we ended up just opening windows for cool air, which was a tradeoff for hearing street traffic.

Nice quick place to lay our heads for the night as we travel through California’s Big Sur. As a family of travelers, with two pre-teens that have been traveling since birth, our number one priority is always safe locations with decent prices. Ultimately…. Safety for our family. The location gave me no worries, was easy to get too, and close to what we needed in order to continue our trip down PCH 1 and Big Sur. Everyone encountered was friendly. Room looked to be newer renovation and rather nice and clean. Beds were comfy enough. Parking lot is right in front of rooms.
Everything was great.

Easy enough check in, they charge your card twice for the first night though - and then revert one payment once you check in. This was a bit confusing but easily explained. The property is very convenient if you are doing a road trip as it’s right off the high way. We slept well, it was clean and comfortable. Great location between Monterey and Carmel, and super affordable.
Not much - the bathroom maybe could do with being updated but it was very clean.

Very clean, comfortable and excellent value for money.
Sounds really petty, only 1 coffee pack ( milk) only realised in the morning, and reception was closed…… was told would drop some when the reception opened… unfortunately we had an early start and left without morning coffee fix. Not a negative on the hotel or stay, just a personal thing, I like my coffee fix in the morning!

The property was clean and had a really pretty exterior. The beds were comfy. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Our train wasn’t until later in the day so we were spending the day in Monterey but we weren’t able to store our luggage anywhere and go back for it so we had to drag our cases around all day.

Modern and clean. There was an area to get ready outside the bathroom with a mirror. Also, 2 trash cans. Nice Keurig with decent coffee pods. Nice TV. Property is nice.
Beds/pillows weren’t comfortable for me. Woke up with sore neck. No freezer in fridge. Soap & shampoo dispensers were cheap and felt like they were going to break.
