I had an unhappy experience booking a room for four nights in this hotel. When I called two days in advance to cancel one of the four nights, I was told that the cancellation policy was 72 hours (the website said 48 hours). I was then told that I had not called early enough in the day (I pointed out that I had called earlier, only to be told to call back at 9:30 at night, when the manager would come on duty). I was then told to cancel online, which gave me no opportunity to talk to a real person about my situation. I decided to cancel all four nights and ended the call. A woman called back offering to cancel the one night, with stringent conditions, which I accepted, only to find out later that she had added $20 to the bill for each of the remaining three nights. I advise caution when booking this place.…

myself and my husband booked 2 nights at Arbor inn as we were visiting monterey. We wanted to try an American motel and saw that Arbor had overall good reviews. When we arrived we thought it looked nice with its blue and white paint on the buildings. we got a friendly welcome from the gentleman on reception and check in was quite quick. He upgraded us to one of their large rooms which comes with a fireplace, although the weather was quite warm in Monterey when we stayed so fireplace wasnt used! But we appreciated their gesture. our room was on the ground floor so was easy to unload our bags from the car. the room was very big with table and chairs, storage for clothes, fridge, microwave and coffee machine. there was also air con / heater, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. the sink area was a good size but the room with toilet and shower in was very small. if you are a bigger person you may struggle to get into the room and close the door behind you! Saying that however the room and bathroom areas was very clean and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in Breakfast isnt served on site but it's only a short walk to a lovely cafe called Wild Plum where we had a great breakfast Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row are only short drives away and if you want a supermarket there is one 5 mins away. the only niggles we had with our room was that the wifi was very slow (although we didnt use it much), the room was very dark so we had to put all the lights on even during the day and there was no safe in the room to store valuables. there is plenty of parking on site but it's first come first served basis overall we had a very pleasant stay and Arbor Inn is a great motel …

Dear Guest, We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent reservation experience. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered. We'd like to clarify the situation from our perspective. There was indeed a discrepancy between the reservation and the rate provided by the third-party booking platform. The change in your reservation was not initiated by us, but rather by the booking platform itself. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We understand the frustration when expectations aren't met, and we're sorry if this experience left you feeling otherwise. We appreciate your understanding of the situation. Please know that we strive to provide the best service possible to all our guests. If you decide to consider us again in the future, we will do our utmost to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience. Sincerely, Arbor Inn Monterey

Soap dispenser in bathroom was leaking before we got there and they charged us $70 for it. Called more than 5 times, yet every time they said the Manager was not there. Called at different times in the day, yet still the Manager was never there. Do not book from this place.

We went to Monterey for a family vacation and booked the Arbor Inn. The staff was very friendly and both rooms that we booked were perfect. We walked to a close by coffee shop in the morning and we just adored the neighborhood. We didn't have any issues with noise and the stay was wonderful. I would definitely book Arbor Inn again.

We spent two nights here and it was the perfect base for us to explore. We had a whale watching cruise booked and it was easy enough for us to walk down to the bay to get the cruise. We didn’t need to use the car whilst there as everything was within walking distance. It was nice to have parking right outside of the rooms too. The room was spacious and had a fridge which was a bonus.
