We stayed in this motel the night before the Big Sur half marathon as it was the perfect warm-up/cool-down distance from the race. The manager had not taken our reservation correctly, meaning that we would be short on beds but eventually he came around and gave us an upgraded room. The hot tub was definitely a welcome addition to a... more

I loved this place. it was out of season so we got a good deal. it's a good 15 minute walk into the centre, but nice spacious rooms. Great pool & hot tub, which we had to ourselves and lovely grounds. Perfect value motel, with plenty of character. more

We booked this hotel through the website thinking it being OK. We arrived around 12.00 first of all they had quite some trouble to find our reservation but worse was yet to come. When we entered the room it smelled musty, like some grinded-up mothballs had been spread all over the room. At face value the room looked clean. But... more

Stale rooms which you can oftentimes expect from a 2-star hotel. What you should NEVER have to expect is a bug infestation. Came home with many bed bug bites. I felt as if I was rushed out the door when I informed the manager at the desk about it. more

We booked this place on the strength of a good review in the Rough Guide. Unfortunately we didn't check TripAdvisor first. The room looked clean, but the decor was very tired. There was an air conditioning unit on the wall that didn't work. When we enquired with management they responded that they don't have air conditioning. We both came away... more

What a dump!! We did not directly book this hotel, was given the spot by an associate since this was the Monterey Car Classics weekend. Were WAY overcharged - $250+. The hotel took advantage of the yearly Monterey Car Classics/Concours d' Elegance weekend and jacked up the rates! We felt so ripped off=!! As soon as we walked in we... more

Avoid this place at all costs. We stayed at the Cypress Garden for two nights in early august. Right when we open the door we felt like leaving. The room was terribly hot (the heating system was working even though it was about 75 degrees outside), smelly, old and creapy. Oh, and noisy to top it all. We knew we... more

Carpet in room was filthy....not apparent until we all walked barefoot and the bottoms of our feet were black! Owner was nasty when I made a complaint and said "that lady should just stay home" to a younger employee. more

My wife booked the hotel for part of our honeymoon. We stayed in Monterey for three nights. When we arrived in town, we checked in to the hotel at about 8pm. Had it not been so late, and had it not taken us 36 hours travel time from Upper Austria to Monterey, we would have left immediately. What we saw... more
