Hotels with FREE Parking in Central Coast California

"The room was great. Location was perfect. Would have been nice to have a vending machine to grab a quick snack or soda. Overall a good stay."

"Room was small but bed was comfortable and room was fairly quiet. Location felt safe. Breakfast was not included but there is a restaurant on site. Their empanadas are delicious!! There is a $17/day parking fee that is not included in the price. Did not have a chance to use the pool but it looked clean and well kept. Workout room was great!"

"We were super delighted with our stay here. We got an ocean view and it was just fascinating. We were on the bottom floor and walked out to a patio with tables and chairs just for us facing the ocean and then there was a wonderful grassy area past that and then a walkway down to the sand and then the water. Everything was clean and neat and utterly and manicured in our room. We had a fireplace and too comfy chairs that could be turned either towards the ocean or the fireplace. And there were also fire pits outside, so we stayed out there into the evening and they brought firewood for us! There wasn’t one thing we could complain about. The refrigerator was stocked with things you could purchase from wine to candy bars. We will definitely be back."

"I have to start by saying that hotel rates in Monterey are extremely high, but this hotel was even less expensive than one Motel 6 I looked at. This hotel has a newer building, and the older "historic" building, where we stayed. The elevator to the historic building wasn't working, so they sent us through the back of the 4th floor of the main building, up a few outdoor stairs, into the old building. I didn't realize that some of the things that we take for granted in a hotel wouldn't be there. For example - there was no mini-fridge. One of my daughters' medications needed refrigeration, so we ended up using an insulated Trader Joe's bag as an ice bag, with ice from the hotel basement. Good thing we aren't on insulin. Maybe the newer building rooms have mini-fridges? If you really need one, ask before booking. The other thing was no USB port to charge my watch. Thankfully, I had charged it at the previous hotel. After 3 days at the Monterey Hotel, it was all but dead by the time we made it home. I think maybe the old building couldn't handle a lot electrically. The hotel has some obvious deferred maintenance, and a very small staff of hardworking people wearing a lot of hats. The bellmen are also the valet drivers, and even the repair men when the faucet in my daughters' room malfunctioned. However, I really commend the staff for being so upbeat, welcoming and helpful. It was kind of like staying with an old friend whose house is kind of shabby, but clean and welcoming."

"Perfect place for staycation!"

"Well located, friendly staff & nice views."

"Needs bigger bath towels, more wash clothes and that spare blanket was old & scratchy. I loved the dog park, and the pool was beautiful. The Cocktails were amazing."
