Best Western Beach Dunes Inn

Our room had not been vacuumed, there were crumbs and debris on the desk, there was hair on the bathroom floor and in the bathtub. Our room was never vacuumed during the three nights we were there. The water is on such tight flow restriction that it's like there is no pressure and takes for EVER to rinse the soap off. There's only one ice machine and it's down by the lobby, in other words, hugely inconvenient. When the toilet paper ran out housekeeping never replaced it. When the kleenex ran out housekeeping never replaced it. The bathrooms are very tiny and hard to negotiate. No swimming pool, and the hot tub jets do not work.The hot tub is very small and has recently been repaired with a caulking material that rubs off on your swimming suit and on your skin. The hot tub hours are noon to 10 p.m., not very conducive to relaxing after a fun day at the beach and dinner out. The breakfast bar area is very small and cramped and always overcrowded. They have Chinet paper plates, good for them, and super flimsy small cheap plastic silverware, essentially useless. They have hard boiled eggs in little individually wrapped pouches, good for people who need protein. The beds are small but okay. There's no safe in the room. Marina state Beach is walking distance away. less

Stayed a night playing at CSUBM. Check-in was prompt. The room was clean, large and quiet. Didn't hear a sound from the freeway nearby. Lots of parking available. Breakfast was typical but appetizing. Good service. less

Stayed for one night while traveling from San Francisco to Big Sur. Nice hotel, clean and comfy beds, quiet and close to the beach. Many options to choose from for breakfast. Check in and check out was fast and the front desk was very welcoming. We were traveling with an infant but they did not have cribs so bring your own. Recommended for a quick stay! less

This hotel was great in every way except one exception. It was right by the highway and being that it’s an older hotel, the walls are thin, that being said I always bring earplugs when I travel! So never bothered me! They also have them at the hotel desk if you need them! The courtyard and grounds are well maintained, and our housekeeper was amazing! Our room was top notch cleaned everyday and we were there for a week! We stayed on the 2nd floor which there are stairs and no elevator, but even with my leg issues I still was glad we did the 2nd floor. It’s a quiet area except for the highway and away from the hustle and bustle which we liked! Beach access within walking distance! It could have been quieter at other end of building away from highway but we were still satisfied with our room location. The hotel staff was always friendly and the breakfast wasn’t bad. They had pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy on some days, yogurt, donuts, breads for toasting, muffins, had boiled eggs, bagels & cream cheese some days, coffee, juice, oatmeal, 3 kinds of cold cereal, and fresh fruit. They had fresh fruits for waffles too and whipped cream! The staff person who does the breakfast was awesome! Kept things clean and well stocked! Thanks Best Western for a great stay! We will definitely recommend you and if we ever get back there again would definately stay there again!! less

Very nice and comfortable accommodations. Friendly and attentive staff. Especially Lauren, who was very helpful with information about the area and things to do and see in Monterey and Carmel. Affordable. Comfortable, short walking distance to the beach. less
