Super 8 by Wyndham Monterey

Clean & Comfortable Our room at Super 8 met our needs well during a six night stay. Ideally located, clean, quiet, and what cheerful, friendly service the staff provided. We’ll return!

Not worth it The hotel is located next to other hotels that all are the same type. The room and the bed were fine, but the water in the shower were quit cold. The AC was not too good as well. I think I could get better with this price.

Awesome older property! I travel over 100 days a year for my job and stay exclusively in Wyndham properties, so I review each one. The parking lot was clean and well lit on arrival. Check in went smoothly. My room, a king single, was clean, with a comfortable bed and awesome pillows. All of the stated amenities were in place, such as the microwave, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. My air conditioner/heater worked well. The television had a good selection of channels and a nice picture. The breakfast area was clean and they kept bringing fresh items. Despite being an older property the rooms are very nice, you can tell the owners care about the hotel and guests. I do not get out this way often but I would certainly stay here again if needed.

Very basic, but okay. Loud air traffic overhead! Check in and out was fast and easy. The room was small but so far clean. The bathroom was spacious, although pretty dark. The furniture is old but functional. Parking is available in front of the rooms and free of charge! Due to the close proximity of Monterey airport it is really loud when aircraft are departing or arriving.

April 2023 Update I noticed that this place hasn't been reviewed for almost a year so I wanted to post an update. I've stayed here three times -- once about a year ago, and two time in the last month. Definitely nothing special here, but I would say it's a serviceable motel for a quick business trip for the low-budget traveler. I think maybe it's changed hands in the last year...not sure. Furnishings and finishes are in good enough shape I suppose, but I wouldn't say it's been renovated recently. Pros: Walking distance to a number of fairly good restaurants, including Denny's directly across the street. Unfortunately, thank's to Monterey's idiotic planning people, Fremont St. can't be crossed here, so you have to walk down to the nearest intersection. Decent clientele. I've seen slightly rough characters here, but not the loser criminal type. Mostly a mix of low-budge tourists and tradesmen looking for an inexpensive stay. OK TVs, acceptable coffee maker, clean fridge, very spacious tiled bathrooms. Last but not least: it's literally steps from the Fairgrounds, so if you're going to a concert there, this place would be awesome. Cons: Difficult to walk downtown or to major tourist attractions from here. The entry from Fremont is awkward at best, perhaps a little dangerous at worst. It's too sharp of a turn, and it's really difficult to find the driveway on your first visit. The (ONLY) exit puts you onto Fairground Road and is super narrow, squeezed between the building and an autoshop. Visibility is almost zero, so you have to creep out super slowly and hope you don't get wacked by a car doing 45+ mph. No microwave ovens in room. Huh??????? Overall this is a great value when you consider the competitive pricing that they usually offer ($69 - $99) and that's why I'm adding a star. Just make sure you're ready for a "no frills" experience.
