Best Western Park Crest Inn

I had forgotten I had been here before, years ago. This time around, I really enjoyed my stay. It started with a warm, friendly receptionist. She was the kindest person I encountered on this travel day and she gave me a free upgrade on my room. The second floor room surprisingly provides partial views of the bay. Wow. I wasn't expecting that. The furnishings appeared updated, the room was clean, and the fridge was in good working order. There's a wall heater/ac unit that functioned well. The hotel is within walking distance to restaurants. Parking felt cramped and when I awoke early morning the next day, all the spots looked filled. Location is convenient - near PCH, Monterey attractions, and close to a shopping center. I would totally stay here again. less

The only positive thing to say about this motel is that the staff are very nice. The structure is old, with incredibly thin walls so you can hear every noise in the rooms surrounding yours (next door, above, below). This also means that the fairly constant traffic outside will be prominently heard, as well as people walking along the outdoor steps, or any kind of equipment operating. There was a beeping coming from the pool area all night long. The room was sparsely furnished and decorated. The laminate flooring, while surely easier to clean, made the room even louder and far less comfy than even a commercial grade carpeting would have been. The AC unit was very loud. Water pressure was extremely low. The beds were fairly comfortable and the linens were clean. We got little to no rest due to the noise unfortunately and it made for a rough next day. We won't stay here when visiting Monterey again. Unfortunately, it appears that many of the motels/hotels in Monterey are fairly old and likely don't offer much value for the price. less

Hotel is simple and has everything you need, pool is heated and parking was good. Noise level was minimal and location is a short drive to main attractions. Breakfast was grab and go but offered items you could heat up. less

The hotel is clean and the rooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated. Next time I wood ask for a room on the second floor because the wood floor in the rooms let you hear every step of the guest in the room above yours, but that is an option. Location: it is not in the center of the main attractions of Monterey, but only a 5 min drive away,; so if you have a vehicle I really recommend you to stay at this hotel. less

Even though the exterior of the hotel looks dated, rooms have been recently remodeled, very close to many attractions, excellent customer service, it is in a safe neighborhood, heated pool, no issues with parking less
