Blue Lagoon Inn

Upon driving into the parking lot you can see the entire hotel - about 15-20 rooms of it. The room itself mirrored the exterior in that it was a little cramped and brightly painted - although in a pink-salmon color rather than blue. The fireplace and unique bedspread more than made up for the space and color though. The best thing about this hotel was the cost. We stayed on a Saturday night and it was only $75! I was expecting much worse and it turned out that the room and service were much better than most of the chain hotels that I've stayed at. When I go back to Monterey I will definitely stay there again and I'm going to recommend it to anyone I know who is travelling there.

We needed a simple place to stay in Monterey when camping plans got soured by pouring rain and very high winds. The Blue Lagoon has clean rooms, a convenient location, free wireless--even a small gas fireplace in each room. We thought it was great, especially for the extremely low price. Highly recommended.

We arrived very late at night and had to ring the bell and wake up the stuff. But he was very friendly.It was a very nice Place and with a very good price for the night.I would go there again.

This hotel is along a very busy main route just outside of the Monterey area. The outside blue color scheme was more friendly than the interior design, and absolutely no frills. Groceries right next door and many eateries within a pleasant walking distance nearby but none at the hotel. Small and friendly, but again, absolutely no frills. It would probably feel like more of a value in the off-season or not on a weekend. But it is just minutes driving from the wharf and the aquarium. It did have a very small refrigerator in the room that needed a good defrosting, and a small microwave we never used because it needed a good cleaning. I'm surprised it was left like that. The rooms also do not have any ice buckets and the ice machine outside is also small. There is a ladle in the ice machine to get ice, but that's it; and a soft drink machine. The lobby does have fliers concerning nearby attractions, but don't expect discount coupons in any of them for the aquarium. This is a basic, quaint, friendly yet no frills hotel. But access to this hotel is a bit tricky. If approaching from the north, you cannot turn left into the parking lot due to a concrete divider... you must pass it and u-turn to access it. Likewise, when you leave the parking lot, you must turn right then do a u-turn to head toward the wharf or the aquarium.

It was alright for the one night that we stayed. We would not want to spend several days or more there though.

Our stay at the Blue Lagoon Inn was pleasurable. It's location next to a grocery store and only minutes away from the tourist sights made it easy to find our way. The fact that staff was available at 10:00pm was wonderful when I locked myself out of my room. We really appreciated the fireplace in the room as the cooler weather caught us by surprise. All in all our stay here was nice and if in the area again would stay there again.

I was surprised because the room was so cheap. I expected a shady little place. But the room was clean, and cute. The room even had a fireplace that was perfect for the cool nights by the ocean. The only thing I would have changed was the T.V only got a couple of stations. But we didn't take a vacation to watch T.V. so I couldn't really complain. We will use this place for out next vacation. The location is great.

pretty nice motel. Better than I expected. Clean and also very conveniently located. The owner is friendly and the place is pretty quiet. Definitely recommend if your looking to be out and about for most of your stay and I'd also recommend room 7 for couples. Its king sized and had a fireplace.

Most people staying in Monterey will want to visit the wharf, Cannery Row and the waterfront. This motel requires a bit of a bike ride or drive to get there, and parking is EXPENSIVE. The motel and room are very clean and well-equipped, with all possible amenities, including a fireplace. Some attention to detail is needed; for example, I had to use my own adapter to plug in the fridge, then discovered the hard way that it was set to freeze all my food. We booked online for a reasonable price, but were shocked at how much the owner raised it when we wanted a second night, so be sure you have locked in a rate before you visit.
