Super clean, great staff, the onsite pub was the perfect place to watch a football game after a long day of traveling. We would definitely stay here again.
Cutest place ever! 50's decor to go along with the Route 66 - 100 year anniversary trip we were on from Michigan, right on neon street! We each got a free token for a free drink from their lobby/bar which I've never seen a place do before 😮🍸🍸
Large room and very comfy king bed. Only .4 miles to walk to the town square.
Everything was GREAT!
This was our second time staying at The Monterey, and we were in town for a concert. The staff was extremely kind and helpful with anything that we needed, and the property was in great condition! Our room was nice and clean when we walked in after a long travel day and was the perfect place to relax. The bar was great, and the parking was relatively easy. I have a large SUV (Ford Explorer), and the parking spaces were a bit tight, but if you have a smaller car than that you’ll have no issues with the size of the spaces.

Room was impeccably clean, beds were comfortable, amenities were up to par. Easy to check in, ample parking and friendly staff.
Everything was GREAT. The service from the front desk, the drinks (lol) , the room , safety of the place, and the rate. The shower was interesting , the water ended up coming out on the floor.
Stayed in the family room which has very cool and very roomy bunk bed for kids.
Parking was an issue because of limited space and the showers had very little pressure.

We stayed in the 6-person family room and really enjoyed our stay. The beds were super comfortable, and the room was clean, modern, and inviting. Everything felt fresh and well cared for. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend The Monterey Motel to anyone looking for a comfortable, easy place to stay.
