El Castell Motel

Very clean and nicely renovated with spotless paint, nice counters, bright and fresh white linens. I've stayed in a lot of dated motels in the Monterey area, so the renovated/modern feel was a nice surprise - made it feel more upscale. I didn't notice any smells at all, which is great - sometimes there can be a cleaner or paint smell even when clean. Appliances worked well. Staff was really friendly! Beds and pillows were reasonably comfortable. Minor: Coffee in the room was decent.

Great location. 10-15min from everywhere we went to in Monterey. Very clean, super comfy beds, no issues with amenities. Everything was very nice. I loved that they had a machine to refill ice and water.

We need a place to stay where we could have our own beds and El Castell had what we're were looking for to address that need.. upon arrival, the reception employee was nice & friendly. The room was clean upon arriving with theba/c already going. The amenities were there (TV, microwave, refrigerator, etc.). The room was spacious, not feeling cramped at all. The bathroom was fully stocked with towels as well as bath soaps and lotions from dispensers. Our stay was great and for the most part it was a quiet location. Parking was plenty if we could not be parked next to the room, but found no issue. There is a covered pool on the premises which we did jotbhetbtonuse, but looked relaxing. The location was fine.it was several minutes to downtown or access to the main highways. There are some restaurants nearby if you wanted to stay close to the place. Overall, the motel in my opinion perfect for a family who needs comfort and space so they can focus their time on their trip.

The Staff was amazing, Super Clean every where on the premisses inside and out. Conveniently located close to Aquarium, cannery row, beaches, and the wharf. Affordably priced, nice and quite too! The 3 beds in a room was spacious. Total bonus for big families.

Awesome place! After almost 2 weeks of traveling and some not so great stays!!....I was pleasantly surprised how nice the place was! Pool was great, it wasn't really really warm but not freezing. Nice to get a cpl loads of laundry done! Loved the rooms!! We had 3 queen beds! So hard to find! Also the landscape was very beautiful and housekeeping was on it!! Would definitely recommend if in the area again! We're from Indiana on a 3 week out west and back trip and this place was a nice stop!
