Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good
"Yes I would recommend this motel 6 to others. We were very happy with the location, closeness to the Monterey Aquarium, and the Dunes. At a great price, including a microwave and refrigerator. The room was very clean and well supplied. The grounds and parking were clean and ample areas to walk our dog frequently. The parking area and vending machines were clean and stocked. The only shortfall is the limited amount of available cable channels for movies . My husband loves movies. Yes I would recommend this motel 6 to others."

10/10 Excellent
"The only complaint I have is that the HVAC/fan system in the room is a bit outdated. There is not a setting to allow the fan to operate continuously providing air flow; it shuts off when the thermostat temperature is reached. The property is very conveniently located and the restaurant and hotel staff were wonderful!"
