The Inn at 1252

The inflation of Monterey motel prices is astonishing. This motel is definitely only midgrade, yet it was $400 for one night, including the $45 in taxes. Ouch! The room was clean, and the two beds were acceptable for the three of us (me, my wife, and son). But there was no shampoo OR conditioner in the dispensers in the shower (a minor thing, but a sign that nobody is checking the basics). The fridge was cold and quiet. I liked the wood floor in our room (I'm not a motel carpet fan), and that there was no room above us with people stomping around after midnight. The toilet flush was so explosively loud it could wake the dead (I imagine its impossible to clog though). The big disappointment was the shower, which leaked so much from the base of the showerhead that no more than 10% of the water came out of the jets. It was so comical that I was tempted to video it and post it online; it probably would have gotten a million clicks. But my wife was not amused, and we were in a hurry, so no time to complain at the desk. I will say that the location is good, near the Del Monte Shopping Center, downtown, and Fisherman's Wharf, with easy access back to Hwy 1 (we had business in Carmel Valley and Seaside). And the little pool looked inviting (80 degrees). I would probably stay there again (but I'd check the shower before I accepted the room).

Nice place and close to everything in Monterey.

Clean room and property

We stayed here for a few nights, during our stay in Monterey. The property was easy to find, and was within walking distance to the local shopping mall and several nearby restaurants. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was very helpful. Parking, during our stay, was readily available and free. The rooms were neat, clean, and well maintained, and also included a small refrigerator and microwave. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were relatively quiet. The restrooms were roomy, clean, and well stocked, and the shower was quite roomy. The only exception I had was the fact the the bathroom doors are composed of frosted glass which, if you're staying alone (or are accompanied by someone with whom you're very comfortable) could be a bit awkward. As I was staying with family members, I wasnt too bothered by the bathroom doors being mostly opaque, but I understandthat not everyone would be comfortable with that. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return for future visits to Monterey.

We were very impressed with the place... Excellent in all areas and the best for the money.....

Great staff, nice room, bed was a little springy and no way to block light from coming in through the bathroom window because of translucent door but overall good experience

It was a smooth stay! The area is safe! The Inn is clean and staff are helpful! Would love to stay again!

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room we had was clean and comfortable.

Dirty pillows that smelled really bad Old mattress

First, they charge daily for parking. Other hotels in the area do not charge for parking. We got there one hour early and they wanted to charge more for early check in. Therefore, there is no one in the room, but they can't let you in unless you pay extra. No breakfast, only coffee in the lobby. Room smelled like mildew, but there was not visible mildew.
