What guests think

Reviews of Americas Best Value Presidents Inn on Munras describe a budget, older motel with very friendly staff, generally clean and spacious rooms, a central location near downtown, but limited amenities.

Many note the pool and hot tub are closed indefinitely, with occasional construction and broken ice or vending machines. Rooms often include balconies or patios plus a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, but there is no air conditioning and some guests report heat or stuffiness. Noise from the road or neighboring rooms comes up at times, and feedback on upkeep varies with mentions of odors, worn carpets, and maintenance lapses or occasional pests; breakfast or on-site dining is not offered. Expect an affordable, no-frills stay focused on location and value.

Good location, upper rooms have a good sized balcony which is uncommon, some ambient road noise if when windows open. It’s an older building showing its age (dated single pane aluminum sliding windows, popcorn ceilings, no air conditioning). Pool “closed indefinitely” but no explanation (it looked very clean, lighted at night). It’s okay for the price, basic, nothing great, nothing terrible, rooms have refrigerators.

I stay here every year for the car races in Monterey because it's affordable, convenient to Laguna Seca raceway and all the Monterey Peninsula, and you can park close to your motel room door. The negatives are the room walls are paper thin so you hear your adjoining neighbors talking, watching TV, and walking on the 2nd floor above. The steeply angled driveways were difficult to get my low sports car in and out of the property without scraping damage. They once had a morning self-serve breakfast in the lobby, but now it's just a coffee machine in the room with a defective switch I had to keep holding down, attached to an extension cord that kept tripping its circuit breaker, also causing the Direct TV to have to go through a 10-min recycle to turn on. The swimming pool was roped from use off with a posted sign "Do Not Swim in the pool if you have diarrhea" which was a new guest feature this year.

The room is big and comfortable, it has night stands where to put your phone and a desk, the tv worked well but the SMELL IS TERRIBLE. The cleaning lady should use better cleaning supplies. We kept the door open a lot and the bathroom window. We had some disinfectant products and some air fresheners but the carpet in the room and the bathroom floor has be clean hard. All our efforts to improve the smell in the bathroom and room was not successful. The ice machine was broken and the pool was closed. We did not use anything else on the Property.

I’ve stayed here my past 3 trips out there to visit my now husband and I’ve never had any issues with my stay. I don’t even really mind that there’s no AC in the building, the fans they provide are good enough. I am curious though as to why the pool and hot tub are out of commission. I was really sad to be in a room this most recent time that directly overlooked the beautiful pool and hot tub and I just wished so much I could get in them so that’s my only little thing I don’t like but other than that I love the location and parking and it’s not too bad.

I didn't like that after I booked and paid for the hotel room. I get a message that pool and jacuzzi are closed indefinitely. No air condition in the room, but they did have a fan inside room that helped cool room. Non smoking hotel or outside premises you see people walk into the lobby and they not once mentioned to the lady to put out her cigarette.

Some negatives but ultimately a great stay and location.The pool was closed, no vending machines, and part of the property was under construction. Also I could not get the heat to turn off in the room but it wasnt uncomfortable. The place is a little outdated but honestly the location, cleanliness of the rooms and staff made this a great stay.

Bathroom floor was dirty, but the bed was clean and comfortable, which is the most important thing. Office wasn’t even open in the morning, just a key drop box outside, so no coffee or anything like that.

The room was nicely painted, and the property appeared to have some renovations. (Pool was closed and no meal/food services available.) The service received was pleasant. Requested no services of the room; however, the staff checked in (via phone call) to see if there was anything we needed (towels and etc.). The timing was perfect, and we didn't have to pause our activities. I am a smell sensitive individual and the two odors I noticed in the room were urine and smoke. The front office also had an extremely strong smell of urine. Bathroom was clean and appeared well maintained. However, did notice on day 3 an issue with the bathroom sink's plumbing. Came back to the room to find the bathroom sink had a layer of slime and gunk which appeared to have come up from the drain. Fortunately, there was no odor to the excrement which came up from the sink. The carpet condition was ambiguous. This could be where the problematic urine smell was coming from. I did discover a few cigarette burn holes on the bed cover. Towels, sheets and pillowcases looked to be newer and maintained. We enjoyed the location of the hotel, and the area was safe. The parking was perfect for us, and we did not experience any noise issues. The main purpose of the room was for sleep and showers. All-in-all it was a good stay. Thank you to management and staff for being friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again just based on the customer service received. Thank you.

The room looks very old and was smelling like smoke, even no smoking signs are posted all over the premises. They should really be honest when renting to a non smoker due to asthma,. The bathtub was very dirty and it needs to be well maintained and it had cracks and there were hairs from the previous guest. Lastly there were something crawling in the bed. The amount they charged it was not a good experience over all.

Water pressure was non existent. Price was very high for a not so nice place.

Stay was very nice and the rooms were clean. There is No air conditioning which I hadn’t noticed. The outdoor temp was not warm but the rooms were and quite muggy. Just be aware. Also we chose a room in the second floor to avoid walking noise that I think backfired because I suspect it made the traffic noise worse since he had to leave the sliding g door open.

it was close to all the activities we wanted to do in Monterey (short driving distance). The people who work there were very kind and even tracked us down when we left our car door open at night. The room isn't in brand new condition, but everything felt clean and we felt safe and comfortable with clean linens and sheets. we had everything we needed and the oversized mini-fridge kept our food very cold - even re-froze our ice packs daily. This isn't the fanciest hotel, but I would 100% recommend it for anyone looking for safe, comfortable and clean.

On the evening of July 3rd we made a last minute plan to spend the 4th/5th of July in Monterey. Since we didn't plan this until the last minute, most hotels (including this one) had very elevated prices. While we have the means for a better hotel, we were trying to keep costs down to a monetary minimum. We won't make that mistake again. It "works" for an "I just need a place to sleep" option. The hotel was booked on Hotels.com. There was NO mention within the information on Hotels.com that the hotel has NO air conditioning, and the pool was closed/ out of service. (This isn't normally a big deal at the coast, but we were in the middle of a heat wave. 75 degrees in Monterey and 112 degrees inland.) We knew there wasn't a continental breakfast. An email was sent AFTER the hotel was paid stating these reduction in amenities; however, I didn't open it right away as I took it to simply be my emailed confirmation. Upon check-in, I was informed there would be no housekeeping the next day, but we could get fresh towels. (This was fine, as we prefer not having anyone in our room, but it just made us feel that the hotel was operating on a shoestring.) The hotel "works" for an "I just need a place to sleep," but if you plan on relaxing, coming back to nap, or spending any amount of time in your hotel room, I would think of a different option.
