“We Love This Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stay at Borg's every time we go to Monterey! The location is absolutely beautiful, and the people are super friendly. You honestly can't beat the price and the view. My husband proposed on Lover's Point 3 years ago, and we go back every year to celebrate. We usually take a taxi down to Cannery Row, but we have walked it a few times as well. It's really not that far, and it's a gorgeous walk. The rooms are a little dated, but it's very clean. Give this place a shot!

“Best part...it has a Monterey Bay view for less money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We knew we wouldn't be in the room a lot, so we opted for less costly accommodations. As most reviewers state this place hasn't been updated in years. I think if the bed was more comfortable I would have been a lot happier with Borg's. Loved the view and access to the trail along the bay. If you are looking for more comfort and luxury this is not the place for you. If you want to save a few bucks and like hard mattresses go for it. No complaints on the cleanliness of the room or staff. Good location.

Room Tip: We booked early and got a corner room with a view. No complaints regarding noise.

“Great location and Good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

people found this review helpful

For the location and the price this older Motel is a gem in an otherwise overpriced coastal area. It is nice to know you can still find a decent lodging for a decent price in the Monterey area. The rooms are clean and perfectly adequate, but the location is the best. The motel is right across from the foot/bike path that takes you right to the Monterey Bay Aquarium....the path is a scenic one mile walk to Cannery Row.

“Best view on Monterey Bay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is a older hotel some rooms have been renovated. There are two types of views, bay front and "other" the bay front are to die for. We had a Corvette group here, eight rooms and no gripes. It was our second visit. The only down side is no refrigerator in room. It is a short uphill walk to eateries and a longer walk to the aquarium. Just remember to ask (and pay) for the upstairs view rooms.
