Great stay for the price
Stay was great and comfortable. I took off one star due to housekeeping taking our shower curtain and did not replace it. We didn’t notice till the next morning when we were getting ready. I had to call front desk to ask for the a shower curtain. Motel is close to everything. Lots of choices for places to eat close by.

We stayed one night in a family suite which consisted of 2 queen beds in one room and one queen bed in the other. Each room had its own TV and air conditioning unit. The bedroom was up-to-date, clean and quiet!!

We have stayed at El Castell hotel many times over the years. We have now been reserving the handicap room and believe me the single room has a wonderful walk in shower with a fold down bench. The handheld shower sprayer is very convenient. The double room has a tub and a pull down bench. Both rooms have plenty of space in the bathroom and the room is large enough for a wheelchair or walker. The price is very good for the area and we feel safe here. There is a Dennys across the street and a Dollar Tree store a block away, just incase you forgot a few items. I highly recommend staying here. Oh and the yellow roses in front of 102 are worth stopping and smelling.

When checking in the receptionist was very stand-offish, dry, and had no customer service skills, the cabinet with the ice box and microwave was set too close to the bathroom which made it difficult for ADA Accessibility, and the mirror in the bathroom was set to high which added to the difficulty for my wife to see herself from her wheelchair.

Good for the price
Good basic motel, was in a convenient location for driving to Monterey and Carmel. Check in was easy and same with check out. Only complaint was the bath tub couldn’t actually be used as a tub as the drain stop wouldn’t work which was a bummer.
