I stayed here overnight for a Spartan Race and it was exactly what I needed. The location was central to everything, which made getting around super easy. The beds were nice and soft, and the shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. Parking was also very convenient. Overall, a comfortable and hassle‑free stay.

Villa Franca Inn is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable stay in Monterey. Located 20 minutes (walking) and 5 minutes (driving) from fisherman’s wharf, it’s in a nice location. Parking is free, check in/out is quick and easy, staff were kind. Room is simple, but spacious. Had no complaints for the price paid. Walls are a bit thin, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for place.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
It is convenient for the price. The water pressure in the shower was sad and the shower head is in need of being changed. The floor in the room had a nice stain on the carpet and one of the chairs looked like it had been peed on and poorly cleaned. But the staff was nice and the room worked for our stay needs since we didn’t spend much time in the room.

Liked: Staff & service
As expected with many motels in the area, of course they are old so expectations are not high, but there was so much noise from the road. It sounded like elephants living upstairs, banging doors headlights coming in through the window not a great night sleep very pricey, but as I explained to those with us that complained, I explained it’s always gonna be more at the beach. It literally was like $100 a night property not almost 300

A small vintage motel on a busy street just at the edge of old Monterey, but very clean, comfortable and well maintained rooms. The weather was too brisk to enjoy the outdoor amenities, but the fire pit and patio set up was charming. There was coffee and tea, but no breakfast.
