inexpensive alternative to downtown digs

The motel-type accommodations were more than adequate & a great value. Staff was quite helpful. It's a quick drive or $2.50/way bus ride to all the local sites. The $45 shuttle service to/from SFO comes right to the door, if contacted ahead. Breakfast is ok & the fitness site less than great.

Nice for the Price!

I am a Scuba Diver who lives nearby in California, I frequently visit Monterey Bay for diving and Travel Lodge on Fremont has been very hospitable to me. They take care of all my needs, what ever they are like preferring a downstairs room to upstairs, thy listen. The beds are comfortable and the Pool is really nice!

Point Lobos State Reserve. There is no other place quite like it. For just a few dollars you can drive in, park, and take long or short strolls with breathtaking land and seascapes. The pine and oak treas and "Old Man's Beard" growing everywhere is just magical!

Passes the Price/Quality test

Nice sized room & nice furniture. I took points off for the pillows; they were too thick for me; I couldn't sleep. They gave me a thinner one, but it was hard. I spent no time there, except to sleep and bathe. If more time were spent, the noise of the freeway might have been unpleasant, especially if you opened the sliding door. Breakfast was adequate, but one thing was unforgivable: no hot chocolate!

Clean and Great Location

Monterey Bay Travelodge offers large affordable rooms with a small microwave and fridge. The room was clean and the staff was very nice. The location is great for getting around Monterey. I would stay again and recommend others to stay.

Comfortable and convenient

The best part of my stay was the extremely comfortable bed with plenty of pillows that I didn't even have to request. The staff was pleasant and accomodating. The continental breakfast included hard-boiled eggs; cereal; bagels as well as the usual pastries. Very clean eating area. Only drawback is the need for one really bright lamp to read by--lots of light, just old eyes in my case.
