The Monterey Fireplace Inn

I really liked the look of the motel. The room is very new and clean. The room is quite small

Even though the room is actually very small, I really liked the room, which is why I gave it a 10.

The price was good, the location was good, the staff was good. The cleanliness was very good. Rolanda my room attendant was very helpful and always available for anything I needed.

The dark blue colors of the room walls made for a claustrophobic night but the bathroom window helped a lot. No art whatsoever in the room detracts from the experience. Outdoor chairs outside each room would be a plus for guests to have someplace outside their dark rooms to sit a spell to feel the fresh air.

The staff was as nice as it gets and went above and beyond. The room vastly exceeded our expectations and the place was clean and comfortable. For the value especially, you can't do better. We were just hoping for a simple little place without issues and The Fireplace Inn went above and beyond in all aspects.

Very few things to complain about. The ice machine wasn't working when I tried it, and that was our only issue.

Sits between Granma's Diner and Black Bear Diner, Happy Dragon across street is excellent Laundry across street. Safeway close by and good gas stations. 20 minutes from the Wharf, Laguna Seca is very close. We enjoyed the stay. Costco is also very close as is a fruit stand.

The room seemed to be quite recent, happy with the amenities. It was very clean and cozy for decent price. Would stay here again.

Door was not sealed very well so the cold was getting in. The heater was rather loud given the fact it has to stay on during night. The bathroom was also quite cold.

We stayed here for the Monterey Jazz Festival. Every where else, even the hotels not within walking distance, increase their prices by 200 per night. This place did not. It is within walking distance of a great breakfast place. The room was clean AND the staff/owner incredibly kind.

I’m a big guy and the shower was kind of narrow. Everything else was great. The management are present and positive. Usually you don’t think about that, but this was a plus

great location and cost.

rooms were cold and kind of weirdly set up with old random furniture. the only way to heat the room on a freezing cold night was using the gas fireplace which is nice for ambience but not much warmth. good thing we brought our own extra blankets!! also hot water did not get hot just warm which definitely made for unpleasant showers early in the morning.

manager made checking in/out easy. lighting was disappointing, water pressure in shower was very weak and bed was ok for comfort tho I did not have high expectations and it all worked fine for overall use.

what I said above

Two tone color of the rooms, the decor, the furnature the stand alone parking off to the side for easy exiting.

I would of liked a hand held rain shower head or an adjustable long goose neck shower head. Other than that room was great.
