They only had a room with one bed for my family and me (four of us). It was already past midnight, and their only offer was to cancel my pre-paid reservation and charge us full price on a room with two beds, with not one cent credit for which we had already paid. When I asked the day manager why... More

Unfortunately, one Third Party sometimes books rooms with one queen bed for folks trying to get two Queen beds. The lower rate with one queen bed is seen and booked by the unsuspecting guest and the Third Party rate plan will not allow us to change the bed type. This is likely what occurred in this instance. We find out... More

Monterey is a beautiful beautiful place. It has a charming historic European kind of feel to it. The hotel is very central - walking distance to Amtrak thruway bus stop at transit plaza. You can walk easily at a slow pace to Alvarado Street, Wharf and Cannery row. The walk to cannery row was very refreshing with great views. If... More

Thank you for a great review. Many guests discover our location in the center of Monterey like you and you put it into words. Monterey is truly charming and does take some leisure time to discover. Fortunately from here you can do it all on foot. Our breakfast room has 3 tables for 4 guests each. And we have 4... More

Thank you for the positive review. We are glad you stayed 2 nights and noticed the room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Our staff is, as you stated, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The new swimming pool looks great and will be open again next week. We started bringing many rooms up to date in the summer and are... More

The good points - centrally located , room is clean and good value for money BUT if you are looking for a decent nights sleep then avoid . The position of the 'hotel' is right next to a petrol station on a busy crossroads so traffic noise is loud ALL NIGHT . Ok, so this is maybe to be expected... More

Thank you for noticing a few of our strong points being centrally located, clean room and good value for the money. Traffic exists but is not all night long as Monterey is a small, quiet residential community right on the ocean. WE are 4 blocks from the beach The walls are normal and insulated. Some of our rooms have connecting... More

If you wanna experience the 60ies then you are right at this motel. Although the rooms have been renovated the place itself is quite old. Location is not as great since at least one gas station is in front of the door. Moreover, the Downtown Travellodge is surrounded by streets; ergo you will not have the quietest night. Staff is...

Thank you for mentioning all our rooms have been renovated. We added Simmons Pillowtop beds, Duvet bed toppings, all new furniture,carpeting and a 3 way curtain system in 2009. We also have double-paned windows(really helps with most outside noise issues) and in 2006 added Amana A/C-heat pumps. Our location is in the heart of Downtown and Historic Monterey, 4 blocks...

Thank you for the response. Our central location is one of the reasons we have so many return guests and the word of mouth on this key point is very strong. We do have a few shower heads in our 51 rooms that need to be higher and we are fixing those as soon as we can. Sorry for any... More

Wow! While others in our wedding party stayed at fancy hotels we chose Travelodge for no nonsense value. It exceeded our expectations. The room was modern and clean with a nostalgic feel. The continental breakfast was very good. My family and I loved the hard boiled eggs and eating at the bistro tables outside. There were many folks from Europe... More
