I stayed here overnight for a Spartan Race and it was exactly what I needed. The location was central to everything, which made getting around super easy. The beds were nice and soft, and the shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. Parking was also very convenient. Overall, a comfortable and hassle‑free stay.

Villa Franca Inn is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable stay in Monterey. Located 20 minutes (walking) and 5 minutes (driving) from fisherman’s wharf, it’s in a nice location. Parking is free, check in/out is quick and easy, staff were kind. Room is simple, but spacious. Had no complaints for the price paid. Walls are a bit thin, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for place.

I loved the Villa Franca! No, it’s not a fancy hotel, but a clean, family run motel. It’s small, but there was enough parking for the 8-10 rooms, and I liked the view across the street of grass and trees. Yes it’s on a street, but it’s not very busy. Just a few blocks away is the ocean, and pier. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Didn’t smell like smoke, thankfully. Appears to be family run, I saw three generations. Last year when I stopped in Monterey, I found that long row of 20+ motels and hotels all on one street. I thought I’d just go there again, but I’m glad I found this place instead. This will be my favorite stopover to return to every summer!.

It is convenient for the price. The water pressure in the shower was sad and the shower head is in need of being changed. The floor in the room had a nice stain on the carpet and one of the chairs looked like it had been peed on and poorly cleaned. But the staff was nice and the room worked for our stay needs since we didn’t spend much time in the room.

As expected with many motels in the area, of course they are old so expectations are not high, but there was so much noise from the road. It sounded like elephants living upstairs, banging doors headlights coming in through the window not a great night sleep very pricey, but as I explained to those with us that complained, I explained it’s always gonna be more at the beach. It literally was like $100 a night property not almost 300
