Clarion Hotel Monterey - Monterey 36.59123, -121.89526

My daughter and I enjoyed our one-night stay at the Clarion. The pool and spa were a perfect after dinner-before bed treat. The continental breakfast bar was adequate and would probably be especially beneficial to families.

For the area, this hotel is a fair value. VERY convenient location off the PCH. With GPS or a map, it's not hard to return to your room from Cannery Row, etc. The breakfast hours are later than East Coast typical hours, especially for East Coast stomachs on a time zone change. I guess they're not meant for business travelers. If you're looking for non-dairy protein, you'll need to grab breakfast somewhere else. Pool and hot tub hours aren't strictly monitored--nice for late night relaxing. Parking is limited but not impossible. Free disc golf course across the street. The desk workers at the front were very helpful.

room looks like fairly new renovated. Nice tiles in bathroom but bathroom roof had mold. Rest of room was clean, nice breakfast. Pool n jacuzzi nice but after seeing a kid throwup in pool changed our mind for a swim. Our room had a nice coffee maker, refridgerator n microwave. Didn't sleep well cause room was noisy inside and out. Felt like an elephant was walking on the ceiling and could hear TV, Radio, people talking from adjencent rooms. If you are a heavy sleeper would be an ok room.

Typical budget hotel. Bed and shower were ok, but for some reason the smoke from smokers at the top of the stairs filled our room. We didn't try the complimentary breakfast.

The rate was a little high for what you get, and there was a little tension with the staff member that checked us in (might have been a language barrier, might just have been the late hour, but still). That said, there are many things to like about this hotel: the parking is readily available, the facilities and mini-gardens are nice, and the breakfast is nicely presented and maintained (if a little minimal in variety). There were occasional problems with internet connectivity during our stay, but nothing unusual for hotels in this class. Overall - a perfectly fair and effective stay. Lots of nice little touches, a little neutralized by the higher-than-expected rate. Might be a better deal on a less busy weekend.

Excellent value for the money!!! This hotel is my new favorite go to hotel in the monterey area for sure!

the service was fair, the locations very convenient.for the price i believe is a little overrate

We went just for the night so we did not have to drive down early in the morning. It was the perfect distance from the beach, aquarium and downtown.

My partner and I both enjoyed our stay here. We came down for the weekend to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and after a lot of research, found this hotel to meet our needs. The room was comfortable and the beds were surprisingly comfortable as well. Didn't get to enjoy the pool, but everything seemed to be maintained and clean!!

If your looking for a room to crash from a busy day this was the place.The kids loved the pool.If your the kind of person who stays in your room the whole time look for another place...it was perfect for crashing showering and watching tv and grabbing a great breafast....impressed by the breakfast.

I liked the fact that the pool was heated and my children enjoyed swimming in the pool. I did not like the room. It was in need of cosmetic repair. One of the doors leading to the 2nd bedroom had a faulty door lock. Once it was locked it could not be unlocked. Luckily that room had 2 entrances so we had to only use the one accessible entrance. Also there was a dead bug/large mosquito on the window valence in the room. It had not been squashed, so it took me a little time to figure out that it was dead. This is a sign of poor cleaning to me. The bed mattress was uncomfortable and I woke up in the morning with back pains. The room is in need of a new paint job. There were dark marks on all the walls. Perhaps they might think about using a paint with a 'satin' finish as opposed to flat. At least with doing that you will be able to wash smudges off the wall.

Very nice, a little pricey but it is prime season. Room was clean, a little noisy on the first floor. The parking lot is not wheelchair friendly so beware. Bathroom on the small side considering it was a 2 room unit with a jack and jill set up. TV, VCR, Coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave were nice to have in the room. Room was spacious and had plenty of room for wheelchair access. Overall, descent place to stay.

Expensive for such a rundown place. The room stank and the carpets were sticky of who knows what chemical. The front desk could not even program the room card keys. Awful Awful. Stay somewhere else.

This hotel was neither outstanding nor terrrible. There are about a dozen hotels in a row along this stretch in Monterey. I'm sure any of the other hotels would have been comparable to this one. I would have no qualms about returning to this hotel. But neither would I have a problem with choosing any of the neighboring hotels instead.

Preety ggod

I had one night in Clarion.To me,its structure is more like a motel.Its indoor swimming pool is awesome.I was planning to go to the hot spa in the morning after breakfast,but there were too much people so i didn't go at the end.The room looks like a standard motel room,nothing surprisely but really comfortable bed and pillows.Shower works totally fine,lots of flowers planted in the garden.when we first went to the hotel after checking in,there was only one parking spot left,I guess it must be ours then.Many people were staying in this hotel at the same time with us,we can see how good this one is.

We love looking for the best deals when we plan on going out of town. This has occasionally lead to disappointing hotel stays. But we sure hit the jackpot this time! It was a wonderful stay! Yes the room had been repaired a time or two and some of the furnishings had seen better days, but the staff was great and the bed was the best hotel bed we've had in a long time! We will definately be back!!

Very comfortable, clean, comfy beds, room just right for child and myself, coffee maker, refrig, mic, vcr, nice for the price! Quiet area too, reguest a room in the back, no street noise, heard just one jet leaving airport all weekend.We will stay here again!

Not bad for what I paid. The first room I was in had damp carpets from having been cleaned earlier that day. They should have known that they would not have been dry by then. When I alerted the front desk, I was immediately given another room with dry carpets. The only negative was that the room smelled musty. Don't stay here if you want to be within walking distance of the "downtown/main row" area of monterey-It's a 5 minute drive.

I would recommend this hotel to others. It was clean and comfortable. Will use this hotel again in future!

This place exceeded our expecations for the low price . The beds were comfortable with big soft pillows, (not like some hotels with worn out flat pillows.) The room was clean, and it's great that it is a non smoking hotel. We loved the indoor pool and hot tub. The pool was really warm even though it was raining outside. That was really nice! The only thing that wasn't perfect was that it was very easy to hear voices from outside, but the heater was loud enough to drown them out.

My suite was spacious and had a second, separate room for my teenage daughter and girlfriend. Lots of closets and amenities.

We enjoyed our stay . perfect location for our needs

The only issues were a slight musky smell in the room and a mattress that is getting close to the end of its lifetime. Otherwise a good deal for the money and I'd stay there again if I needed a value priced room in this area.

This is the third time I've stayed here. I think that the hotel is absolutely adorable (just make sure to ask for a room with a fireplace, which doesn't cost any extra in off season, and I'm not sure about high season). This hotel is nothing fancy, but it is well worth the price. Plus it is still close to downtown Monterrey and Cannery Row.

this motel has definitely deteriorated some since I last stayed there a few years ago. the room was a little small and a mat on the bathroom floor would have gone a long way for comfort. The breakfast was mostly starch but overall, it was cozy with a very comfortable bed and was close to everything.

Great value! On our road trip this was the best value for the money. They have very confortable, well equipped rooms, filtered water in your shower, a heated pool, not to mention a comprehensive continental breakfast. The grounds are very nice and it is conveniently located.

Great location and rooms for the money

Pool is indoors, but you need to walk outside to get there (bring a robe?). Room was comfortable and clean. It was nice having a a fridge and microwave in the room. Could use some fresh paint, minor repairs (e.g., handle on drawer was broken). Nice sunny breakfast room.

Only good thing about this hotel was it great location. It was out first time at Clarion, but never again!

The carpet in the room was wet and the room had a dank, moldy smell. There was no elevator so we were forced to take this ground floor room since my husband is disabled and cannot carry luggage up stairs. The continental buffet was bland;the breakfast room crowded and worn. Overall, the hotel had a "tired" look.

We arrived a little late but the receptionist was able to point us toward a fun and age appropriate restaurant. Room was very clean, loved the choice in pillows. Nice continental breakfast, nice treat to be able to take back to your room on a tray.

The room was a large suite for the price in monterey you cant beat it we will be back for sure
