Discovery Inn

unfriendly!

The hotel is ok, but the "landlord", a family from India, is very unfriendly. First they graded us up, then they demanded payment for it. After having paid more than the price offerd by hotel-com, he never looked at me again. The "breakfast" was the least he dared to offer I believe. We saw a lot of hotels in the USA on our trip, but this one didn't give us a good feeling at all.

it is what it is...

you get what you paid for. perfect for just a night where u need a hot shower and a place to crash. def. no frills. bathroom was clean, sheets were clean. check in & out were easy.

Low End Motel

I needed a quick night's stay and had said just a clean bed and bath would do. That's all you get here. The motel is listed as offering breakfast, but there is just a coffee pot (if you drink coffee, and I don't - no hot water for tea or juice) and a tray of small grocery pastries (out of the cellophane) and cut in half. It happened to be a Friday night at the beginning of a special event nearby so I paid a horrendous fee for the night, but it was still the cheapest night I could find - next time I would go to another place I know more about even if it cost more money.

Great room for the money

Clean room, quiet, well kept grounds, convenient location

OK room just for a place to crash

This place was the cheapest I could find for the area, considering that it was ok for the person who just needed a bed to sleep in and a shower the next day. Kind of old and ugly with paper thin walls. Is close to CSU Monterey Bay and the Cannery. Still do not think its worth the amount of money I spent

Good budget hotel for area.

My husband and I booked a room at Discovery Inn at the last minute because we hadn't planned on staying overnight in Monterrey and already had a hotel room in SF. We found the room decent for the price and the bed surprisingly comfortable (for the price). We were very happy with the accommodations. If you are looking for a basic, but decent hotel room for a reasonable price, this is it. Only one thing was bad: the towels were so thin you could almost see through them.

Worth the Price

Like reviews suggested, the walls were a little bit thin. This wasn't too bad of a problem. I suggest running either the heat/AC to drown out the minor noise. It's worth it to save a few bucks and to not be right in town. It is very close to Monterey and it was on my way to San Francisco anyway, so location didn't matter. Also, I happened to get there way early and I called to ask when the check-in time was. "Come on over now" was the response, so that was great. I think it was about one in the afternoon. Some hotels don't let you check in until two or three. My only minor complaint was that shampoo wasn't included in the hotel room. I didn't notice that until after my trip to the grocery store and I didn't feel like going back out. The other hotel where I stayed (in San Francisco) had the shampoo - I was about ready to go to Walgreens. But other than that, no complaints. Above all, I was happy with the price, so there were no problems.

Beautiful flowers! and Nice People too

Nice little spot in the over commercialized Monterey area. The room was basic but clean and the people were very nice. I was happy to spend my money there. It was clear that the pride of ownership was at work at The Discovery Inn. Also, I booked through hotels.com and had no problems.

No frills, but OK

Nothing to write home about, but this place does the job. On the plus side, it's very easy to go to the Monterey sights from there, and the guy at the reception was very helpful. On the down side, there is a bit of a lingering old smell around the place...

Great Experience

The hotel is older but in great shape and the room was clean. The location is great as well.

Good for the Money

Was easy to find, nice to look at, property was pretty and nice to look at. Room was neat and clean. Bathroom was neat and clean. Only complaint was the mattress. It was very very soft and uncomfortable.

unfitted bed sheets but very comfortable room.

It was a very comfortable place to stay. A high vaulted ceiling and no one walking upstairs. I do remember reading a review about the unfitted bed sheets! It is true. That is something that bothered us also and having to straighten it out a few times. Unfortunately, the walls are kind of thin, but we stayed over night at this hotel on Saturday, during a the presidents 3day vacation and knew there was going to be a few loud rooms. I would recommend this hotel and for the price I paid. Didn't call the front office for anything or bring towels. Not sure how that service was offered.

Pretty Good

The hotel is in a good location. There are no fitted sheets and the beds are quite uncomfortable.
