I came to Monterey for the Laguna Seca races. I stayed four days at the arbor Inn. It was a comfortable stay with very few things that needed attention.

Spend your money elsewhere

I booked based on reviews!! Arrived late since we drove from out of town I had to hurry as I was told the doors are locked at 10pm. The man who helped me check in was kind. However, made up some California law about me asking for extra towels. (Spending the weekend) The room was so so. The bed was somewhat comfortable. The baseboards should be cleaned. The property is cute and well maintained. Here is why I give one star I sent a message to staff Friday night after I checked in to report we had no hot water to shower. We just drove 4 hours!! I had hot water in the sink. But no hot water to shower and the Next day no hot water again. The only response I received was a “k”no follow up or call. I asked for room service and I was told “no” I had my husband set trash cans outside to eliminate an odor in our room. Covid is over and at no time should a consumer be told No for basic requests! I will not return unfortunately. Great prices but you get what you pay for.

We were told it was the best room and cost accordingly. The room was large and had a small gas fireplace. But it was right on the public sidewalk and street. Very noisy and the public could see right in, even to the bathroom area, which didn’t have a door in the dressing area. It’s a Main Street so lots of loud traffic early and late.

We like this property, but if you have a lower level room it gets noisy when people above you walk around their room. If you have a room close to the main road it is noisy as well.

The office was a bit of a search to find it just because we entered through the back side of the parking lot. Our room was quite literally, right next to the office, so we heard a lot of people going back and forth, stomping up and down the stairs etc. and their chitchat could be heard here and there. Room was in great condition, bed was good, hair dryer was one of those classic tiny ones that barely have any wind strength(though that was to be expected) I wanted to take a bath but for some reason the drain stopper/bathtub stopper was nowhere to be seen, so I was unable to. I should've asked the staff about it but I eventually forgot about it so it wasn't a huge deal. Great place for a few night's stay. Noise wasn't an issue throughout the night. In the morning when housekeeping was making the rounds, even though we had the "do not disturb" thing on our doorknob they still knocked for some reason(but did not enter) which was a little weird, but no big deal. I checked out on Monday night instead of Tuesday morning, and the front desk lady seemed so concerned asking if I had any problems, to which I laughed and had to explain to her I had someplace to be in the early morning and just needed the entire day on Monday lol.
