"Good deal for no-frills Monterey stay."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
I was looking for a cheap, clean room and the El Castell did not disappoint. Too far from beach to walk, but only a short drive away. Since I was only crashing there overnight, didn't really expect much for the price. The staff was very nice and the breakfast (cereal, juice, coffee, pastry, make your own waffles) was actually a nice bonus - just wish there was protein option. Rooms a bit small and dated, but bathroom was exceptionally clean. Nice that there wasfree fridge and microwave in room. I would stay again and recommend it if you understand it is basic 2 star hotel.
"Quaint place to stay!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
It was great for the two nights there! Very quiet, clean and affordable!
"Great place to stay!"
Right off the freeway...and you would never know it...but a great mall is across the street...including Whole Foods...Pottery Barn...PF Changs! It truly is VERY quiet...and you can't see it from the hotel really. The room was small but very cute...just perfect and parking excellent...very safe and affordable and clean! All good!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome, modern hotel. Great for couples"
Me and my boyfriend stayed 2 nights in Monterey and absolutely loved this hotel. Great value and really cool, modern decor. Our room (king suite) had a electric fireplace and a deck we could go sit out on, although you do share the deck with your neighbor. Our room also had a little living room with a couch, flat screen TV, fridge, microwave and coffee […] maker. It was about 10 minutes from Cannery row and right across from a shopping center, including a whole foods. They have a great breakfast spread in the morning until 10am. The staff was really friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Monterey. If you have a car, your also about 2.5 hours from San Francisco, which wasn't too bad.

"Suite rooms are sweet."
Nice location just off the freeway, but the room we had the first night was disappointing compared to what we were expecting from the web page advertising the hotel. The staff were very helpful and gave us a deluxe room the second night for no extra charge...they should be a bit more clear about the room sizes and amenities on their web site. All rooms […] don't come with a fireplace and some in the old section are very small. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome Monterey"
Customer service is what makes a hotel great and this hotel has great customer service. My original room was not what I had booked and the staff quickly fixed this mistake by upgrading me to a nicer room. The neighborhood is nice with a park and a huge shopping mall. I will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good deal"
Told the gal at yhe desk it was my husbands birthday...and she immediately hooked us up! Got a king suite with a loft, fireplace and two bathrooms! Awesome! Don't let the outside of this hotel fool you....rooms are great. Very basic breakfast though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"One of the better accommodations in the area"
The hotel was very nice. We had our small dog with us. They are pet friendly, there is a small grassy area for pets, but the nightly charge for our dog was $40.00! We often travel with our dog who is well trained and a great traveller. I have never had to pay this much for a dog. It is usually about $15 to $20 per night. Breakfast came with the room […] and was adequate (cereal, bagels, yoghart, danish, coffee etc.) There is a hot tub and pool - both very clean. I would stay here again.

"Location great."
You would have received a five if house keeping had been better.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Was delighted with the desk clerk first of all and then our room was fabulous and the breakfast room was one of the best we've ever eaten in. The only thing wrong is your outside lights, it was very hard to find the driveway in the dark as either your shrubbery is overgrown or your lights are too dimGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very nice stay!"
First of all, I saw the other review then I chose this hotel which was exact the other person said. I got the room was very clean, spacious, like designer's room but it was right next to free way, so I asked front person who is very nice and so friendly. She gave me another room, but unfortunately that room was not clean up. She apologize to me, then […] she gave me another room which was separate sitting area and fire-place with no fees. It was really comfortable stay. The breakfast was also good, there was no hot items, but several croissant were yummy. Finally the location is the best! right across from the shopping center. very convenient and also quiet. I stayed only 1 night, but I definitely come back! bring my husband next time!

"Wonderful"
We had a wonderful time at the Mariposa Inn. The room was beautiful and the pool area was pleasant. I recommend turning off the refrigerator if you aren't using it for the extra quiet. We will be coming back next time we are in town.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Pleasantly surprised"
My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It doesn't look like much from the outside but I had chosen it on Expedia based on reviews and the hotel pictures. The staff at the front desk was incredibly helpful and recommended excellent places to see and eat. The room was very nice and clean- probably one of my favorite decorated hotel […] rooms. Checkout was simple and they offered complimentary breakfast in the morning. This is now our go-to hotel whenever we stay in Monterey Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"very nice hotel"
We really liked the hotel but our milk went sour because the fridge did not work.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel, great rooms."
We stayed at the hotel for one night. Even though it was a short visit we really enjoyed our modern up dated room. It was clean quiet and comfortable. We also liked the set up with the fire pit and lounge area. When I called down to the front desk to ask questions the girl that was working was very helpful and informative. We would definitely stay there […] again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Amazing suites, except for the dog friendly room"
I have stayed here before but no in a dog friendly room. My preference is the Non-Dog Friendly rooms. The hotel rooms are amazing. From the outside it doesnt look like much but the Rooms are awesome. The only room that doesnt have that TLC is the Dog Friendly room. Oh Well, lesson learned.Genuine Expedia guest review
"All around good choice"
This was my first stay at the Mariposa. I selected it from reading Trip Advisor reviews. It over delivered in all areas. I like the location that put me close to the Del Monte Mall and Whole Foods grocery store. It was a very easy drive to Cannery Row and other sites. The room was clean and comfortable. It even had a patio and a nice gas fireplace in […] the room. The breakfast is nothing special, but I wasn't expecting breakfast at all. It was nice to get some fruit and yogurt. I didn't use the pool but the pool area was nice. All in all a great choice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice enough"
I liked the room but too close to main road, loud and walls are too thin.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bring your GPS"
Beautiful area. Lots to see but need to have a plan of attack list on your GPS.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Will come again"
Very clean. Very affordable. A few minutes drive from the ocean. This hotel does allow pets. The room across from me had a barking dog. After about three hours of continuous barking, I told the hotel manager. I don't know what she said or did, but that dog never barked again! I very pleased.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value"
Stayed here for the weekend conference. Only a mile to the Portola conference center. The breakfast was fine, clean, the room was good but we were on the ground floor in the corner and could hear all the parking lot noise and room above us. Besides this, the hotel was a good value for our needs. Would recommend...just bring your earplugs!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Friendly comfortable hotel"
Overall this was a good hotel with welcoming staff and large, comfortable room and pool. It is off a main road and although not far from the Wharf difficult to walk from at night as the lighting is poor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very clean and well kept"
Very clean and well kept room. Good location near cannery row, aquarium and wharf.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great town homes!"
We like to stay in hotel rooms that have a separate sitting room with a close able door. We like to be able to put our son to bed and be able to stay up and watch tv or talk without disturbing him. The townhouse rooms in this hotel were perfect for that! Plenty of room to spread out and feel comfortable. Two cons concerning this hotel : 1- the street […] noise (it is significant) 2- the breakfast room is tiny (so cramped it was a waste of time to eat there). Those being said, we would choose to stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Choice"
Went to Monterey for the Jazz Festival, found the Mariposa to be well located, comfortable and nice amenities, including robes, water bottles, in room coffee, fireplace, comfortable king bed. Walls a little thin, but overall a very good buy for under $200 on Festival Weekend!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just fine, but..."
This hotel is on a very noisy intersection. If you are a light sleeper, it may be a problem. Nice staff. Pricey for what it is, but then so is much of Monterey penninsula.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Monterey Vacation"
We (my fiance and I) stayed at the Mariposa for two nights in September 2012, and I would recommend it again in a heartbeat. It's conveniently located in Monterey, no more than ten minutes from any restaurant or attraction. Furthermore, our room was HUGE. I was not expecting a two-story room comparable in size to a townhouse I once lived in. Two bathrooms […] were a major plus as well, allowing us to get ready in half the time. Overall, we weren't at our hotel very much, but I couldn't have been happier coming back to it each night. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great stopover in Monterey"
The Mariposa Inn offered a clean, comfortable room with high end appointments (including granite counter tops in the bath) and excellent amenities. It was within sidewalk walking distance of several really good, fine dining restaurants in a nearby shopping center. The free continental breakfast was first rate. Our only negative experience was a slow […] running drain in the shower. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Town house Suite"
Comfortable with more then ample room to relax.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The rood was very clean, the breakfust was all-right the hot tub was fair, (no water jets) but over all it was a 4 out of 5Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great stopover heading south"
Lovely rooms lovely hotel great breakfast. A great place to stay over on our trip south on 101.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Golfing trip to Monterey"
Simple, clean and to the point. Perfect for our golfing trip to Monterey. Standard breakfast though, but not far away from the main town to get eggs and bacon etc. If you just wanted to eat croissants and have coffee, then perfect! Great little place and have some great deals. Would go back, as long as we got a deal again...Genuine Expedia guest review

"This place was a joke... Maybe just my room, but"
I was put in a room right behind the office. Tis must be the last room they put people in. Every car needs to go past and you can hear everyone as they walk on the second floor. Thankfully I had er plugs. The room itself was relatively clean, but the bathroom and sink area were shoddy. The bed was completely horrible. The BEST part - apparently they […] don't have sheets to fit he bed. I realized something was bunching up at my feet while I was sleeping. When I checked in the morning I saw that the sheets were CUT OFF at the feet so it was a bare mattress for the last foot or so. That's just pathetic. I didn't realize you could upload a picture or I would have taken one. I don't see why anyone would pay the prices this place charges when there are so many hotels in the area. This is just an OK hotel with a pool. Don't bother. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
