Surf’s Up in Monterey
My first time staying at The Monterey Surf Inn and it was a Good Stay. Room was nice & bed was very comfortable. No towel racks in the bathroom which was annoying & no rubber mat in shower as I almost slipped twice. Motel had a great location. Also parking lot was littered with trash & cigarette butts which should be cleaned on a daily basis. But I’ll definitely be back.

We were given unit 2 with severe water damage. Wood floors were buckled due to the damage that was not repaired. We were given unit 1after requesting a replacement. The unit is also bad. Some water damage on door, very small vanity in the bathroom just enough for a couple toothbrushes. Poor condition of vanity with door for the bathroom can’t closed. No place to hang clothes. Just terrible experience. Seems the bedsheets weren’t replaced. Both bedsheets were installed inside out. Coincidence? Perhaps, but not likely.
