El Adobe Inn

My husband and I stayed here for a short babymoon. (FYI, El Adobe Inn is now called «Inn by the Bay» I believe).
The staff was super friendly. Being 7 mos. pregnant, I loved the kingsized bed in our room. We had a tiny view of the ocean from our balcony which was great. Free wifi, complimentary breakfasts, and super affordable. We loved the convenient location. And seriously, it’s such a great deal price-​wise.
I would have given 5 stars, but the cleaning staff had forgotten a pair of underwear (albeit, clean underwear) from the previous lodgers when we first arrived. Not the most pleasant thing to see when you first check in. However, the front desk was really helpful and took care of it right away. It was also not the most quiet places to stay. On our last morning, we were woken by lots of yelling and kids running along the walkway outside the rooms at 7−8am. We’re not really bothered by noisy families, but just a heads up in case you’re looking for a more peaceful getaway.
Again, it’s super convenient, great price, and really friendly people.

We are back again this year, and staying for more nights. Accidentally booked for an extra night than what I had planned, but we came prepared so it’s all good!
Check in was even more pleasant this time around, though there was a pigeon having a snack just inside the office (I’m guessing he’s a regular?)… Kind of odd. We were given sort of an upgrade from what I actually booked, so that was cool, although it’s a lot busier than last time we came, probably because of this being a holiday week.
Rates are still great, 50 – 60 bucks a night.
Our (king) bed is pretty uncomfortable… The first night it killed my back, and really what are you paying for in a hotel if not the sleeping accommodations?

3 ½ stars.
The young woman checking me in was very friendly and accommodating. I had my dog with me and yet I wanted as quiet a room as possible. She was very helpful.
The rooms themselves are fairly nice, exactly what you should get for the location and price point you are paying. I was sad there was no bathtub but thems the breaks. There is a big park across the street. My dog and I didn’t end up spending much time in Monterey as it was a bit too touristy for me. Lots of kids and the vibe of the people in town was more unfriendly, less warm than in Carmel. But that’s based on such a short period of time, just a vibe I picked up on. Not the people who run the El Adobe though… they were all very nice.
free wifi, pet friendly ($ 15 per night, not bad), helpful staff.
Oh, I did not partake of the complimentary tea, coffee, juice, muffins in the morning… not my thing.

For the location, price and cleanliness it’s a great solution! Good for young couples.

We have a room reservation this coming July to stay at this hotel. I am struck by an added fee of theirs that has me wondering about cancelling the reservation. If you are going to have your child there, and he/​she is 6 years or older, they charge an additional $ 15/​day.
When I asked about this charge, the person on phone said it’s because «a third person uses more stuff.» Sounds weak and sneaky. If the room sleeps 4, shouldn’t they already anticipate more things being used and thus why that room is more expensive to start with.
Do other hotels do that? It seems to be sending an odd message about their opinion of children. This isn’t making a great first impression.

Great deal for the price. Pet friendly they just can’t stay in room unaccompanied which is understandable. Not too noisy and the lady at front desk was nice and gave me a map and circled all the pet friendly beaches and restaurants. Also grab some cards by the desk of all the restaurants most of em give u a free appetizer with the card

Stayed here last year. We chose the El Adobe Inn because we wanted to travel with the dog, and it’s hard to find somewhere to bring her. Overall the price was good, the staff were friendly… room was basic but for the price and low hassle it was worth it. Nice and quiet; a little further out of town than other places but that’s ok, it was peaceful… trying to get to sleep at the Monterey Hotel right now; it’s 11−30pm, and the club is still raring through the window… I wish i was at El Adobe…

This was a good pet friendly hotel. The staff was nice and helpful! The rooms are a little dated but adequate. The worst part was probably the breakfast; Just toast and juice, not enough to get you by for the morning. All things considered I would recommend this place especially if you’re traveling with a pet.

Pros:
Pet friendly
Price
King bed
Cons:
Tried to double charge me the pet fee
Told us to take our dog with us when we go out
No pet goodies
Fridge is directly next to the bed, which is loud
Inside of fridge smelled like death
No fan in bathroom

Looking for a cheap place to stay in Monterey, I was very happy to find El Adobe. The price we got on
was very cheap (around 50 dollars for the night) and the location perfect, in a street with many motels and not too far (10 minutes walk) from Fisherman’s Wharf.
As to the room itself, it was cosy, with a good bed, a clean bathroom and all in all, good comfort. Breakfast is included in the price and you can eat it outside (there’s no seats and it’s served in the lobby) or in your room. Very simple breakfast, but always a nice attention anyway.
I liked the fact that El Adobe is obviously a family motel and you can feel that the owners care about their guests.
As in every motel, though, I can’t understand the need to put such a thick carpet on the floor. Even when it’s clean, it feels like it *might* be unclean and full of bacteries… I definitely would prefer plastic or wooden floors, but well after that US roadtrip, I got used to it! So 4 stars for El Adobe and recommend it if you can get as low a price as we did, go for it!
Free Wifi as a bonus

The minute my boyfriend and I stepped into the lobby we had a good impression of El Adobe Inn. The lady working at the front desk was extremely friendly, told us about a local farmer’s market, and recommended certain restaurants.
The room was much nicer than expected — especially given how reasonable the price was (we used
and were able to get a really great deal). The location was great, wifi worked well, and, though we didn’t use it, there is a little spa outside!
If we ever come back to Monterey we would definitely stay here again. :)

I’m not giving them four stars because I think they’re the Ritz Carlton. I got exactly what I paid for and a little more than I expected. The room was clean. The air conditioning was broken so we had a fan sitting in the room. The beds did not contain any kind of bug or stain. The front office had lots of orange juice, brochures, maps, and coupons. The bus stop was right outside and it was a short walk to fisherman’s wharf (slightly longer walk when it was raining). We weren’t on a spa getaway, we were there to sightsee and spend minimal time in the room. This hotel was perfect for our needs.

Wir fanden es super. Rundum. Der andere Beitrag war von 2009. Inzwischen hat sich offensichtlich eine Menge getan. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, sogar das Toilettenpapier war zu einem Fächer gefaltet. Personal war freundlich. Immer wieder

Hubby had a vacay and we decided to go to Monterey to chill out from the Bay drama. Found this place on a Pet Friendly hotel Google search because you just have to take the 4 legged buddy’s where ever you go. It’s cheap and small but close to everything. Food all over the place. Aquarium no more than 5 – 7 minutes away. Fisherman’s Wharf litterally walking distance with the beach scene. Want a tattoo that’s 10 minutes away. The liquor store at the light before the hotel, the clerk is the man! He will have you cracking up on the floor.
Ok now about the hotel. Like i said small but hey for a night what the heck. My 4 yr old son was in heaven. We got the King with a Twin bed room for CHEAP. Had a fridge, Micro, Iron w/​Board, Coffee, Phone, WiFi, Continental Breakfast, across the street was a park (I think no it was a trail) and your in Monterey what could be better.
Check in was @ 2pm we were there at 11am and she let us in to the first clean room no attitude or nothing. Great staff, everyone was very friendly. You need it they have it. King bed is huge, Hubby, Me, Child & Dog (yes we did have a spare twin but no one slept on it) all slept on that one bed. It wasn’t that comfy but hey again for the night what the heck.
I would recommend for a quick trip but for a long stay choose Holiday Inn Express!!!
And like the other reviewer said my view was someone’s back yard no actually someone’s backyard, someone’s front yard, and an alley that any one could get into. So yeah you pick!!!

This is a simple, easy to find, centrally located, clean little stay-​over. The room had all the usual necessities; coffee pot, iron, blow-​dryer, fridge, microwave, free continental breakfast, TV. It also had free wifi, a really small but clean hot tub and good/​free parking.
The only down side is the usual price gauging that happens during Laguna Seca… but they all do that.
The motorcycles guests were a little loud starting their engines right outside the door pretty early in the morning… I would suggest the hotel ask all motor cycle guests to park in the back parking lot to try to keep the guests happy.

Very convenient as it’s only 5 minute walk to Del Monte Shopping Center, 15 minute walk to Fisherman’s Wharf, and there are also restaurants and cafes all within walking distance. Even though it’s got all those businesses near by, the area is actually pretty quiet and peaceful.
The staff was friendly, she let us check in much earlier than the stated time which was supposed to be at 5pm. The rooms are clean, has REFRIGERATOR/​FREEZER, MICROWAVE, FLAT SCREEN TV, FREE WIFI, FREE PARKING, FREE BREAKFAST.
Four legged friends are welcome-​$ 15 per pet.

This little hotel was a great safe, clean value for the money. It is a little walk to the main tourist district, but not bad. Staff was very helpful with recommendations
Rooms are roomy, nice. clean, have fridge but no microwave. Pet friendly. Wi-​Fi free.
Easy drive to Carmel and amazing 17 mile drive coastal vistas. Wild Plum coffee shop and bakery two blocks away a lifesaver for breakfast and lunch.
.

3.5
This is a cheap and easy stay in Monterey. Safe, clean, and comfortable. No complaints really, just an awkward view of what looked like someones back yard. Free working Wi-​Fi was a good plus.

I wish I could give a 2.5
My BF and I decided for a last minute trip to Monterey over New Years weekend. Of course we wanted to bring our little brown dog along for the trip!
I was thrilled to see that El Adobe Inn was a pet friendly hotel! Horay! We did not have to stay at a Travelodge! They charge an additional $ 15 for the four legged guy.
The location is great, walking distance to quaint shops, touristy stuff and a short drive to the most amazing views in all of California (IMHO) The rooms are quaint, flat screen TV’s and a bargain for $ 87 on New Years Day.
Here is where I get a little cranky. Yes they accept pets, but you are not allowed to leave them in the room unattended. Grrr… of course I did not know this until we went to check in. I love my furry friend (duh, I would not bring him along if I didn’t) but I think it is lame that they will not let you leave them alone for even a couple of hours.
I can understand that they may be fearful of some asshole dog that rips the curtains off the wall and throws the TV out the window, but why not have pet owners sign a waiver for that?
If you are going to be a pet friendly hotel, don’t have the red tape to go along with it.
That being said, I would recommend this place for a budget traveler… great location and cute rooms!

Die Homepage verspricht mehr als es in der Tat hält. Die Zimmer sind ok, das Bad stank extrem nach Chlor und sah so steril aus wie eine Zelle, ich konnte dort leider nicht länger verweilen geschweigedenn duschen. Die Betten waren an sich echt bequem aber das Bettzeug fühlte sich speckig an, vor allem die Decke zum Überlegen. Also, zu Hause fühlte man sich dort definitiv nicht, auch barfuß laufen brachte ich in diesem Zimmer nicht fertig.
Nach einer unruhigen Nacht freuten wir uns bereits aufs Frühstück. Well well, die Rezeption war ein Vorraum mit 4 qm, dort wurde ein Schrank geöffnet in dem sich süße Stückchen befanden wie Muffins oder Blätterteig, man konnte sich Tee und Kaffee zapfen oder sich eine Scheibe Brot mit Marmelade schmieren. Gefrühstückt werden musste allerdings auf dem Zimmer, da in dem Vorraum partout kein Platz dafür war.
Für äußerst unempfindliche Leute vielleicht ein guter Deal für 25 EUR die Nacht.

El Adobe Inn’s a solid 2 star motel. The rooms are pretty tiny and the closet and bathroom are sort of sad. The closet is actually just a curtain covering a narrow enclosure. The bathroom is a circa-​1950s bare minimum with a basic tub and toilet. On the plus side, they all have fairly new high-​def television sets, clean rooms, and solid service. I called to the reception desk a few times with requests and they were very responsive and friendly.
The price is just okay for this area. You’re looking at somewhere around $ 100/night…which is the standard rate for a 2-​star motel in the area. Another plus about El Adobe is that it’s close to Highway 1, so you’re only a few minutes from Carmel.
I don’t think that I’ll be returning to El Adobe Inn, but it’s not because I had a bad experience. It’s just that trips to Monterey should be special, so why not upgrade for another $ 100/​night and stay at a B & B? El Adobe Inn is a good value, but not necessarily a good experience.

Dog friendly — 5 stars
Comfort & Cleanliness — 4 stars
Wow — I am shocked to see the «1» star reviews but when you read them, it obvious that the reviews have nothing to do with the El Adobe Property itself. I gave a 5 star in an effort to boost their rating.
The property is very well maintained. It reminds me of some place I stayed in Palm Springs with the clay color paint and bougainvillea growing around. Coffee and muffins are available in the morning.
There is a tidy little hot tub area with a few patio tables. It’s also where you get the ice. No one was using it during our stay.
The room was large with a king + twin. Linens were clean with nice mint shampoo with a Holiday Inn logo (can we say close out sale?).
I would stay here even without a dog. They do offer a 10% AAA discount which is not mentioned on the website but they gladly gave it to us even after we had checked in.
