Lone Oak Lodge

We had a long travel day since our car broke down. 15 hours later we made it to the hotel. We were greeted with a big warm smile from Anna at the front desk. It was just what we needed. She was super helpful and sweet. She was a great way to begin our stay! Thank you, Anna! We also liked the large rooms, fridge, comfortable bed, cleanliness, and that you can park right in front of your room. Close to stores and restaurants.

We had a nice time. The rooms were clean and check in was easy. One thing i found weird was that they entered our room while we were away on the beach. All they did was remake our beds and refill towels but it would still be nice in the future to only enter rooms when the people staying leave the ‘make up this room’ sign outside the door. We did not. We also ran out of toilet paper on the first night because the roll was almost empty and there was not an extra roll. We had to wait until morning to use the bathroom because there were no carts or staff to ask for more.

This motel is located in a central location of Monterey. It’s on the street that has many motels. It is in a safe neighborhood. The rooms are very clean.

We traveled with our dogs to visit our son in Monterey for Thanksgiving. The cottage was just perfect for our needs. I reserved the Queen Cottage that had a full kitchen and was able to utilize the fridge and oven and make Thanksgiving dinner to bring to our son's house. The appliances worked perfectly and it was so convenient. The cottage was roomy with two beds. The bathroom was spacious and the room and property neat and clean. Although located in a business area, it was close to everything, stores, the beach, walking trails, etc. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

There was a lot to like for us: We liked that we were booked a couple spaces between other occupants, so we had privacy, but not too much distance. I liked being close enough to the freeway, restaurants, and stores for convenience. The room was clean, nicely painted and furnished with the essentials. I enjoyed the modern mirror and sink which had plenty of space. Everything was not only in good shape structure-wise, but was also very clean. I also really enjoyed this property being one-floor, as opposed to multiple, and not having to hear neighbors. The cleaning staff were also kind and said hello in the morning which was nice.
