If you want luxury in Monterey , don't stay at the Days Inn. But, if you want to pay a reasonable room rate and stay in a clean. comfortable room relatively close to the attractions of Monterey, Days Inn is a great choice. We stayed in an ocean view room that indeed have a nice view of the bay. The other advantage is that it was in a building across the street from the main part of the motel. The room was large and very clean.

My family and I were there for our father's funeral service. My sister & I stayed for 5 days.The first ones to arrive, my sister & I stayed in the handicap room to see what it would be like for another family member. It had a regular tub, and a seat to sit on, so he would be unable to use it as he was unable to step up.. The bathroom floors were cold! Most of the family stayed in the 300's rooms to be together. My room, #305 smelled like cat pee.
It was large, but very hot. I had to open the windows to air it out. We had to hold the handle down to flush and the sink was clogged. My sister requested a space heater for disabled husband, but had to go to the office to get it herself. The "breakfast" was stale bagels, with no fruit the first day, no milk the 2nd and the toaster kept tripping the circuit breaker. In the rooms, the plugs were all plugged into one power strip-a defiante fire hazard.
Most of the time, the desk clerks were unavailable.
My son & his girlfriend were smarter. They got a room up the street at the Clarion with a real, hot breakfast , an indoor pool and very nice people. I will never stay at a Day's Inn again--anywhere. This one soured me.

This is the hotel that resulted in my husband banning me until the end of time from booking any more hotels rooms. He hated it and I have to agree with him. Where to start? Overall this baby could use a good update, the shabby exterior and interior setting a pretty bleak tone. The spaciousness of the room was the only thiing going for it. I had booked an oceanview, not knowing that this meant peering between the buildings from 8 blocks back at a sliver of water. So I certainly wouldn't pay the extra $$$ for that again. It was also strange that our hotel room was across the street from the main hotel and front lobby. So every morning we had to cross the street for breakfast. The elevator was dicey and we thanked the gods when it stopped at the destination and we could step off. And finally, our toilet stopped working so we had to call maintenance to fix it. That was probably the final straw for my husband. On a good note, he is now is charge of hotel reservations. :)

I was charged twice for our stay here. The first charge was the total agreed upon rate. The second charge was for a mysterious $50.00 extra. I have called and the manager has not returned my call. Now it has been 2 months and I have resorted to disputing the charge through my credit card.

Beware!

Otherwise, the hotel was fine. About what you would expect for $63 per night.
