Floor of room made feet go black. Maybe never been mopped. Such a shame, as I thought Travel Lodge were meant to be nice. Musty smell and entire complex like prison cells. On a flight path and every time someone shut a door was like a bomb going off. Breakfast man couldn’t wait to see back of us. Shower was like a coffin. Was
able to have one coffee before it ran out and a banana which was nice. One word. Grim.
Our arrival at this hotel was following a mega drive to Monterey from Las Vegas, and the initial check-in process was straightforward and without issue. We collected our keys and went to view our room before moving all our baggage in. This proved to be a very wise move as the room was not suitable at all and not what was expected. We had telephoned Travelodge prior to booking to ensure this was two separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The reality was a bedroom and bathroom with an adjoining room, meaning access to the bathroom was through the other sleeping area. We returned back to reception and following a lengthy, drawn out and frustrating conversation we ended up with two adjoining rooms which would prove to be adequate. The rooms were located on the first floor, large and spacious, large glass sliding door onto a balcony, TV, fridge and the usual bathroom facilities. The decoration of the rooms, and the building in general, was tired and in need of an overhaul to bring it up to the standard of other similar hotels. The bed was very comfortable and provided a very good night’s sleep which was fortunate as the hotel is located on the flight path into Monterey airport. Again, fortunately there were no overnight flights, but there were early morning and late nights flights which passed fairly low.
The hotel did offer a buffet style breakfast which was nothing to get excited about, and which appeared to get cleared away earlier than expected. Coffee, muffins, cereal, bagels, cream cheese, hard boiled eggs, fruit juice and bananas, oh and sliced bread for toasting. Told you it wasn’t exciting. Again, using my usual rating process of whether I would choose to stay here again, on this occasion it would be a resounding NO.
The people at the property are very nice and the rooms are clean but there is no AC and the only "window" is a sliding glass door that goes out to the pool so there was no was to keep cool at night. Whole property needs a remodel.
Good location near Ocean 1 drive. Stayed there coming from Cambia. Good Breakfast too. There is abeach spot very close by. Staff are helpful . Rooms are very clean and furnished with coffee /tea. Good view from room towards pool. Great for kids too
I loved that this place was off the 'beaten path' yet close enough to Uber to downtown, restaurants, the beach, convention hall. The front desk person was very sweet and accommodating when I needed something as simple as a few paper plates and forks.
