A great place to stay for short-term or a bit longer. Spent 2 nights with my husband here and it was absolutely great. The room is small but enough: there's a dining table for two, fridge and micro, desk with office chair, a big and high bed and a surprisingly big bathroom. Everything was tidy and clean. There's shower gel and shampoo in the shower, hand wash and lotion at the sink. Coffee machine with Starbucks coffee selection. You can park directly in front of your room. Everything is in reachable far, easy drive with car. There're 7eleven and other facilities nearby. I really recommend this place.

Loved Monterey! Perfect for stop between SF and LA or just to chill in lovely Monterey. We didn't have time to use the pool, but the temperature of pool and jacuzzi was great. Spacious, clean and beautiful rooms. Quiet area at night.

This accommodation is amazing. Sadly, we only stayed for 1 night as a stop off on road trip from San Francisco back to LA, but honestly, we'd wish we'd had a week. Didn't get to see local sights, but will definitely be back to El Castell soon ?? Rooms were so spacious, we had a family of 1 child and 3 adult children and 2 adults in one room !! This motel mega out shone the central San Francisco accommodation we had for 4 nights.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Super 8 Motel in Monterey was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, particularly Mike, went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy retreat after a day of exploring Monterey's beautiful surroundings. The attention to detail in the room's decor and amenities truly exceeded our expectations, making us feel right at home. What truly set this Super 8 Motel apart was the exceptional customer service we received, especially from Mike. His willingness to go the extra mile became evident when we realized we had left our laptop behind. Mike stepped in promptly, assisting us in arranging for its safe return via UPS. His efficiency and genuine concern for our belongings left a lasting impression and elevated our overall satisfaction. The convenience of the motel's location, coupled with the outstanding service we received, makes it an easy decision for us to return on our next visit to Monterey. We can confidently recommend the Super 8 Motel to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and stress-free stay. Thank you to Mike and the entire team for making our trip so enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

The lady at Reception was really friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size, particularly the twin room with a coffee machine which was very welcome. The rooms were clean and tidy although they could do with replacing some cracked tiles. The location is on a main road with places to eat nearby and just a short drive to the beach. There was plenty of free parking. We didn't have time to use the pool but it looked nice. The motel felt safe with a pretty exterior. We had a really pleasant stay here.
