Howard Johnson by Wyndham Marina at Monterey Bay

Stayed one night on a road trip with kids. The rooms were clean, renovated and spacious. The inn had a convenient store and gas station on the premises, which was nice. The young man at the front desk was uber friendly and willing to suggest nearby activities for my little ones. They gave us a bag of goodies for breakfast which included a banana, pastry, yogurt and orange with a beverage of your choice. Definitely would recommend this spot!

If you're looking for a budget friendly place to stay, as we all jnownhow expensive hotel, even motel stays are in Monterey, dont give this place a second thought. Would rate this as a 5 star motel. Very clean, a little outdated in the bathroom, but overall very clean. Bed and pillows were comfy. Sheets were nice and clean, smelled of bleach cleanliness. Towels were nice, clean, and soft. It was very quiet and clean. There is a gas station in the center of the complex and a convenience store next to the lobby. They provide to go sack bags for breakfast which includes a granola bar, breakfast sandwich/breakfastBurrito/breakfast hot pocket/croissant sandwich, tangerine, banana, danish, yogurt, and a blue bell cheese. It was very unique and cute. Service was very good. They also have oatmeal packets, organic milk, yohoo, and Capri sun's for the kids. Would definitely stay again.

I booked two rooms for a trip with my family and my dad for my daughters birthday. I have never stayed in the area before and was unsure but it was in my price range. Definitely glad i picked this place. Staff was super friendly and absolutely amazing!!! The rooms were spacious and clean!!! I never once felt unsafe which was huge to me being in a new area. They even had a great little packed breakfast for us in the morning that was full of healthy great food!! My dad and my 4 kids (age 15 - 22) were very happy with it all as well. I will definitely be staying here the next time i come to Monterey!!!!

Great budget spot off the 101! Snax available evey morning, and varied! Would definitely come on back for some family R and R. Grovery Outlet and walmart on the way into and out of town.

From the outside it looks a bit off but the inside is like you walked into a different place. The best place to relax and stay examples; the bed comforting that kids will sleep in one place, the dresser is under the tv so there is more room to move arouns

Check in was super quick and the lady at the desk was nice to work with. The room smelled clean upon first opening the door and the strong smell of bleach, but shortly after walking around the room my bare feet were completely black. The floors need to be cleaned properly. Maybe a couple of times in a row with clean water each round. It was awful. My husband and I had to thoroughly wash our feet and lay towels on the floor to make a trail to the bed so we didn’t get our gross feet in the sheets. The bed was comfortable. The temperature was comfortable. The shower head needs to be replaced. Poor water pressure. Final thoughts….. not worth it. Side note: Marina California must be having some crime issues currently. During our quick trip to Walmart, we saw a van hijacked and drove into a field and obliterated by the thieves before the cops showed up. THEN on the way home, there were a bunch of punk kids destroying a fenced off private property construction site….. We did not feel safe in Marina. Final thoughts… not worth the stay.

This hotel was close to family, not fancy, but a great basic hotel room. The staff were really great... so friendly.

This hotel was ok if your looking for a comfortable bed to sleep. There no amenities. When I was looking for a place to stay I could of sworn there was a nice patio to sit, but there was not. We stayed for 4 nights and not once did anyone come into empty the garbage, refresh coffee or make the bed. It was a good thing we were there to visit family and were only there to sleep, because there is nothing else to do.

Our family of 4 stayed overnight at this motel as a stopover on our way to San Francisco. Check in was easy and staff were very friendly and courteous. Our room vas very clean and smelled amazing. Has everything you need for a pleasant stay and the beds are very comfortable. I’m a tea drinker so it would have been nice for some English Breakfast tea bags to be available in the room tho. Lots of shops and restaurants were located only a few minutes drive from the motel which was very convenient.

They tried to rip you off. My kids played with the sand at the nearby beach and we used one of their small towels to wipe off the sand on their bodies before letting them get into the bathtub to keep their bathtub from clogging. The towel had beach sand on it and the sand beach was easy to get off even just dusting by hands or rinsing with water. The manager Sarah accused us used the small towel to mop their floor and charged us $50. Why on earth a traveler has to do the cleaning room task that they had paid the service for it? Any traveler with a dirty room will just call the front desk rather than spend their energy mopping the floor. We even brought our own bath towels for the whole family so we didn't use their bath towels at all.
