Clarion Hotel Monterey

Great location, but room was not super clean and had a weird smell today. Showers worked well.

Although a little out of the way in Monterey, the room itself was very comfortable. Perfect for one person to use as a landing spot.

Small hotel, great indoor pool. Close to the night life.

short and sweet... first, the lobby is not what it looks like here and the staff was very unfriendly (this was in the evening) secondLY, there is NO private sauna but there is a heated pool and jacuzzi which weren't very clean but the water was warm in the big pool. thirdly, the room itself was ok. the bathroom was clean and the tv was huge. the room was humid...we tried everything to change that. the bed was really old and smelly but not dirty. this place should be 45 bucks. not 60.

We basically just slept here, it was a pleasant experience. I love that they had more than 3 channels on tv unlike some cheap hotels. Didn't use the pool but I will next time. I will certainly be back.

Place looked like a converted economy studio apartment housing. Room was clean, everything worked. Would pass for a $60 room most anywhere else except Monteray. Breakfast area was well staffed. Poor girls worked like crazy keeping up. Kudos to them.

First of all, this location does not have a fitness center, contrary to the website, so don't bother lugging your workout stuff. There is plenty of walking and biking to be had in town, so that wasn't an issue as much. The rooms are small, clean but minimal. The smell though... there was a persistent musty smell when I first arrived. I aired out the room a bit, sprayed some perfume, and turned on the fan, which helped. For the price though, it wasn't bad. Breakfast is in a small room, so arrive early if you plan on sitting down. Once you leave the hotel though, it's all great. The location is fantastic-- if you walk downtown, you'll pass many cafes, restaurants, and shopping locations. Cooper Museum store is not to be missed! The Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Aquarium are just a couple miles away, and it's a very pleasant walk. Lots of things to see! Also, the trail that goes along the beach will take you all the way to Pacific Grove. A lot of gorgeous views and marine life -- otters, seals, pelicans... wonderful.

The hot tub and pool are great after a long walk. The location is great. I couldn't hear traffic yet there was a shopping mall with a drug store and a grocery store around the corner. I found old gum on the florr next to the bed. I had to ask for the soap and shampoo. The staff only spook Spanish. It was over all great for the price.

This hotel was a disaster. Rooms are dark and tiny. Walls are scratched and spotted. Bathrooms are tiny. We had to pay extra to upgrade to a bigger room to survive a night there. Neither room was properly cleaned. Fridge was dirty inside. There was a lipstick under one of the night stands. Worst of all was their complimentary breakfast. The cafeteria (aka Fireside room) is super small with 4 tables inside and 2 small tables outside. The food was rather sub-par. And guests had to clean the tables after themselves cleaning off the plates and piling them in front of the fireplace. This is something I would expect for $40 a night, but definitely not for $135. I would avoid this hotel at all costs.

The room was relatively small but has two rooms. Each room has a queen bed, which worked perfectly for us four. It is rare to find indoor pool in california, which is a plus. Breakfast is good; oat meal was actually cooked (not instant food) and tasty. Overall it was a nice pleasant stay.
