    Oops, see above.

    I understand that it was a special event weekend (Pebble Beach Concours). But the nightly rate charged ($450/night) was exhorbitant for the quality of the facilities (although clean, everything looked like it had been there since about 1965). Due to the expense, once we booked it, we cancelled all but the first night and found less expensive accomodations elsewhere.

    We had 2 queen beds, one was comfy, the other was lumpy and made a noise every time you moved. The sheets were clean , but they had rips in them. The room was old and tired, there was quite a bit of noise going on outside and the walls were thin so you could hear the people next door

    Within a short walk down to the coast. The room was large. There was ample parking.

    No hair dryer. Bloody stained sheets that made us super uncomfortable we just slept on one side of the bed. Super stained carpet floors I didn’t even want to walk barefoot on. Only one elder asian lady ran this but she made us feel uncomfortable. Came back from dinner and we pulled up and were trying to set up our windshield blinds and she literally just came to our driver side window, peeked in and stared at us for a good minute like who does that? Boyfriend was super on edge because the whole place was sketchy. Constantly having people in front of our doors talking and walking back and forth loudly even past midnight. Fees were overpriced for a weekend stay so I paid almost $400 for two crappy nights that I could’ve used for a better hotel

    Well, this is a matter of style: the whole apperance of our room was like a museum piece from 1978 or so. There is even some kind of fireplace with stone deco in the room - that's why it's called Fireside Lodge, probably.

    I have been put off by the numerous negative reviews here on the site. But during Monterey car week, we didn't have another choice. The good news: it is actually not that bad. Staff at reception is really friendly. We had a good stay, after all.

    Everything in here was not right except for the older lady who was very sweet and Steve the manager. If not for them we would not leave our things in the room whilst we took a walk in the pier. We came back at 9pm and trying to get ready to sleep and noises outside seem to broke and the upper room kept on banging/walking so footsteps and continuous noise until 11:30pm. We packed up our kids and left in the middle of the night to drive home. I do not recommend this place to anyone. I cannot seem to know such this kind of place exist.

    it gives Norman Bates. It seems like there are people who are residents and they rent out the available rooms.

    This is great for a no frills quick trip.

    Worse travel experience I have ever had.

    This room was misadvertised! It is not just a "lodge", it is also used for residential living. Once in the room, it took me less than 5 minutes to know I had to leave and find a new place to stay, on a holiday weekend. There was a broken lock on the door. The room key is a key for a residence (medal, old school). The lock had been hollowed out, so no way to lock once in the room. There was feces on the bedspread. Skid marks. The carpet was old and dirty with stains. The advertised fireplace does not work. From other reviews, none of their fireplaces work. The bathroom was missing light bulbs. The tub was moldy. It felt unsafe. When checking in I was skeptical due to the lack of professionalism. When I checked out, no one came to the front desk. They stood outside and ignored me. The agency I booked through did not answer their phone, and directs you to leave an email. Beware. There was no assistance.

    There was absolutely nothing to like about this room. Please, read all reviews prior to booking. I cannot emphasize this enough. My hope is that my review will save another traveler a very bad experience.
