Del Monte Pines Motel

Room was great, lovely fire, very clean, and a comfy bed. Great location. Front desk person was very kind but wasn't able to help us much, limited knowledge and English. Breakfast was rubbish - not worth having. But as far as value for money, convenience and overall cleanliness and comfort it was excellent.

My wife and I stayed at Del Monte Pines in Monterey. We knew it wasn't a five star resort but this place was disappointing even to our low expectations for a place to crash after a night of fun. Upon entering it smelled of mildew and the door didn't close enough to seal out wind/outside noises (we pushed a chair against the door at night to keep it firmly closed). It looked fairly clean so all the sloppy paint touchups and chipped edges didn't bother us. The bath towels were the size of hand towels and the hand towels were the size of wash towels, and all felt rough and worn out. We could make do and just use several towels so it didn't matter that much. But the loud stream dripping from the tub faucet was too much. I tried to close the handle tighter yet the water flow continued. Even with the door closed we could hear it from our bed. I immediately went to the older couple at the registration desk and told them of the problem. He said sorry and maybe it was just left on by someone. I said I already tried to close it and it didn't work. I said I wanted another room. He said I booked online and therefore could not change. I asked if he had any vacant rooms. He said no but would call the maintenance man to come fix it "again". I then told him that would be fine since we would be out till late anyways and left back to the room. A few minutes later he knocked on our door. He could not get hold of the maintenance man and offered to switch us to another room. I asked if we could check it out first and he agreed. This other room also had a leaking tub faucet! I told him we would just keep our room because it had a fireplace. He apologized and left. I ended up wrapping/stuffing the faucet with many towels to silence the drip enough with the door closed. The feeling that I got as a customer was that the no one there cared enough to fix things or replace items in a timely manner in order to save money and hope that customers don't notice or complain too much. Pathetic.

This motel was inexpensive and a good place to spend the night. The room was clean and the area was quiet. It is near a shopping center if one needed to pick up anything. Restaurants are nearby.

It is good for a one night stay. Good for price. Could use a remodel on the exterior. Plus rooms need new carpet,needs more electric plugs in room. Bathroom towels are two small.

Bed bugs, something put bites on my leg. I tripped a fuse twice and bad breakfast.

This is a standard motel with no special charm but cheap and convenient

The room was dark and the noise from the water pipes was un-bearable. Will never stay there again.

Very unfriendly, poor experience. The room type I had reserved was not what I got. The shower curtain was filthy, moldy and reeked of urine. Room was not only unclean, more of a sanitation nightmare. I gently notified the management of a need for a new curtain, and was met with more inhospitable "service." Walls thin, resident manager and family nosy and rude, small property, very meager amenities, overall poor accomodations and service.

Our trip was to visit family. The motel was very affordable. Our room had a updated restroom and a fireplace, unfortuntley everyting else was dated and felt dirty. The bed was very uncomfortable...we could feel the springs in the mattress and the tv didn't work. It was worth what we paid for it.

Very Affordable
