The employees were so kind and friendly that we felt happy all the time. The room was a little bit old but we were satisfied with that. The breakfast was good! The parking fee was free!!!♡ Also the location was good to walk around. even to go to the whale watching! They always told good information :)

During our recent trip to Monterey, we were so impressed by this place that we couldn't resist staying here again on our way back. Our room featured a delightful fireplace that cast a warm and inviting glow, creating the perfect cozy atmosphere. The cleanliness and thoughtful arrangement of amenities in the room truly stood out. The beds were a haven of comfort, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The overall ambiance of the room was tastefully understated, free from any excessive showiness. Whether we wanted to enjoy the coastal beauty or delve into local attractions, everything was within a comfortable reach. From start to finish, our stay here was an absolute pleasure. We left feeling refreshed, grateful for the wonderful memories made during our time in Monterey. P.S. Try Alvarado Brewery and their chicken wings.

Eveything. Beautiful location and vibe. Loved it so much booked a 3rd night once there. - Stayed in a fireplace king room (102) and had direct access to the garden where we used the lounges, fire pits and pool on multiple occasions. - Pool and hot tub was clean and warm, perfect for the evening when the little one was sleeping as it was open til 10pm. Our baby monitor had no problem reaching and it was close enough to the room we felt safe to do so. What an indulgence. - Stayed over a weekend in spring break but found it to be super relaxed and quiet with no noise issues at all (though we do travel with white noise for the toddler just in case). - Room was large, house keeping wonderful, shower had good pressure. Hairdryer is one that's stuck to the wall, but my hair isn't long so wasn't an issue. Lovely to get Dove toiletries. I don't believe they offer cots, but we cosleep with our 2yo when travelling so just put pillows next to her when we were at the pool at night. There was plenty of space in the room if you travel with a portable cot though. - Right across from the paddle boats, beach and large park (Dennis the menace) which was perfect for our toddler. Short drive to Cannery Row and the Aquarium. 15min from Carmel too. - We drove to the aquarium and found the street parking easy and cheap (using an app) and paid $5 for an afternoon (instead of $20 in the lot on Foam St), but good that there's options if you want to spend the whole day. Would definitely stay here again!

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and nicely furnished. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Location is excellent - restaurants, shopping and While Foods Market are across the street and easy to walk to, and Cannery Row is a fast and easy drive away as is the road to Carmel and Big Sur. Gods value for the price. I am glad I chose Days Inn for my stay.

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.
