Best Western Hotel De Anza Inn, Monterey

Best items that made this a good value. Price, Peets coffee, really good shower pressure, parking, and spacious room. Breakfast was ok. The only hot food was jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, which were pretty decent and freshly made by attendant.

Thank You for the feedback, we have recently upgraded our breakfast. We now have a pancake maker which makes amazing fresh pancakes during breakfast! We hope to see you again soon and you can try our delicious pancakes!

We have been staying at the Best Western De Anza for ten years. The service, clean appearance of both the rooms, lobby, and exterior continue to be top notch!!! In addition, the employees all go above and beyond to be friendly and caring. This is your place to stay!!! :)))))

Thank you for the amazing feedback and review! Next time we see you there is a new item for breakfast! Delicious fresh pancakes!

Our stay was poor. The first night, the room they gave us had the windows open. Clue #1. The room smelled heavily of Febreze...so much that our eyes were stinging all night and my daughter's asthma kicked up. The window sheers had big brown stains, and the shower had someone's hair and whiskers on the walls and floor of the tub. The room was also very noisy and I could hear clear conversations by the patrons next door. As the Febreze wore off, the room smelled heavily of mold. It was also very noisy being on the street side. Loud voices of people walking by and cars roaring down the street. I asked to be moved the following morning. That room seemed better. We accepted the move and then found more hair in the shower. Surely it is not hard for the maids to see dark hair on light walls. I mentioned it to the manager and he seemed annoyed. The breakfast had mediocre offerings. I would not recommend this hotel.

This is the best hotel in Monterey to stay at. Staff is great, room is great, breakfast is yummy too. Place is very clean and staff very attentive. You can't go wrong staying here. Very clean there too

We enjoyed this hotel multiple times because of the location to Salinas hospital and Cannery Row. Friendly and clean. Toiletries are extra small in the room. However it was so disappointing that the hot tub was not in service and we were not made aware until we were in it and called the front desk.

Hotel was further to attractions than we thought. Cleanliness was excellent. Hot tub was not working . Rooms were very clean and organized Restaurant and market was very close by and convenient. Appearance was nice

My sisters and I chose to stay here to celebrate our birthdays in Monterey. Had a wonderful time! The hotel was tucked into a business/residential neighborhood, there were several good restaurants in the area to try if you wanted, the room was large and had a microwave and refrigerator. The staff was the best part. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and patient with our many questions.

We were pleased with the property, the rooms are designed with many windows and our room was very large with a sitting area. It's very close to the Fairgrounds and many restaurants and stores close by, don't miss 3 Mundos sandwiches.! The staff were friendly and helpful and the value was great. We will stay here again, next time we go to the AT&T pro-am, definitely for the Jazz Festival.

Love the convenience of location. Surrounded by restaurants and a bowling alley. The rooms a great, comfy bed and pillows. The staff is very nice and helpful. Parking is a bit tight. I have a child in a wheelchair and they only have one handicap parking spot and never available and parking is very tight.

We stayed at this hotel in April and had a great experience, but this time was so disappointing. After a long day hiking, we returned to the hotel to find that the room hadn't been cleaned and there were no fresh towels. The very least I expect of a hotel is a clean room. The vending machine in the hall was completely out of drinks and the clerk said there was nothing he could do about it. We chose this hotel because it is very pet friendly, good value for the price, and super convenient to all the fun things to do in Monterey, but next time I will look for a different place to stay.

Hi Kathleenbcaron, I am sorry we didn't meet your expectations. You are correct we are not actively entering rooms to service them due to covid protocols, however, we do carry fresh towels at our front desk. I am sad that we did not communicate this information to you at check-in. I will speak with my team that way we can keep our vending machines stocked for all guests. I do hope you give us another try on your future trip to the Monterey area. If you have any questions please contact me at the hotel at 831-646-8300.

From check in to check out, this was the best stay ive had at any hotel on the peninsula. The customer service is impecable. Matt the front desk agent, always greets me with a smile and calls me by name while doing a speedy check in. The cleanliness even meets my standards, and I own a janitorial business. Miguel always goes above and beyond for me each stay. I could not say enough about this hotel, and i stay in hotels frequently. Both for business and pleasure. Debbie Soper

Hi Vacationtimefordeb, Thank you for your review, and your kind comments about our team. I am happy to hear we are able to meet your expectations. I do hope your next stay is right around the corner.

This hotel is located on the outer edges of Monterey. Although we felt safe at the hotel, and walking next door to the convenient Denny's restaurant, we would not have felt comfortable walking anywhere else. The location is perfect for driving to different areas of the peninsula while vacationing. The parking is a bit tight, but we always found a spot. The room (King) was very ample, with a bed (not the most comfortable), sofa, desk and sitting chair, with plenty of room to move around. The television screen was blurry, not making it very enjoyable to watch. The breakfast choices were bagels/cream cheese, fruit, cereals, muffins, pkg egg/sausage small burrito (to heat in microwave in room), and milk/juice/coffee. Room contains a microwave, mini fridge, iron/board and blow dryer. There is a wall heater that warmed the room well. View from the room is of busy street, or overlooking apartments behind the hotel. Pets are welcome with an additional fee. Most hotels in the area are costly, this was the least expensive of a chain we are familiar with. The service was pleasant and lobby/room clean and decent - could use a little updating. If we could not find a hotel nearer to the water, we would stay again. It is a good base to land and sleep, but would not enjoy staying longer in the room if it was necessary.

Dear Samesmindy, Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience staying with The Deanza Inn. I agree that Dennys is a good choice when staying with us, we also have The Monterey Cookhouse to the left of us, and Sushi by the bay just 1 block down. We do hope you choose to stay with us again on a future trip to Monterey.

This is the third attempt at giving this hotel an excellent review. We enjoyed our stay and Miguel and Matt went above and way beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you again to both of you. My Doggies enjoyed their time in Monterey and Carmel too.

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Dear Faninfresno, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. I am happy to hear that you and your little doggies enjoyed your stay and time at The Deanza Inn. We are looking forward to having you and your doggies again as a guest.

It's right next door to Denney's! Not a motel, but a hotel and very nice. The king room was exceptionally large with a big bay window. The carpet looks brand new. Had to ask for a blanket, which was promptly delivered, but the bed was very comfy. The TV is old and worn, but otherwise the room was very nice. Good breakfast and a pleasant staff.

Hi SacramentoCalGal, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am happy that you enjoyed your stay and looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel.

Room clean, staff super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast staff very rude and unfriendly. Beware! Miguel and Matt were sooooooo kind and helpful. Close to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!!

Hi Yodiegal1105, Thank you for your review, and kind words. I will share your comments with our team. We thank you for choosing BW De Anza Inn. We hope to see you again soon!

The staff had terrible communication. They did not inform us that our room would not be serviced until after we came home and realized it. Our room keys stopped working every day at the most inconvenient times.. its hard to carry a sleeping kid or breakfast tray and have to go back and forth to getting the keys to work. The breakfast staff were rude to us when we asked what peanut free options were since my 2 yr old is severely allergic. We did like the room. We were nervous that they would smell like dog but they didn't. The bed was extremely soft and caused some back ache but we could use the pull out sofa instead. We liked that they had keurigs in each room, but when we asked for more coffee they brought us tea. We were able to get coffee from the lobby I stead.

Hello, Ktzkat, I apologize that we couldn't meet your expectations and failed to communicate the current Covid – 19 policies. Thank you for your review, I will be addressing your comments with our team so that we can offer a better experience in the future.

The room was okay, although it looked nothing like it looks like in the pictures. The hotel is close to lots of attractions. I was charged for a room although I had already paid in full prior to arriving at the hotel. When I saw the pending charge I brought it up to Mayra who escalated it to Miguel, he was supposed to call me back, that was on August 3rd. I never heard from him so I called on 8/09 and again on 8/10 - still haven't heard from Miguel. Mayra was a pleasure to speak with!

Good Afternoon Mrs. Ramos. we did speak today 08/11/2021. Per our conversations, I am waiting to hear back from Hotels.com so that we can correct this issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The rooms were so large and clean! Very comfortable place and friendly staff. Rooms were updated, and the price was amazing for the quality. The kids loved the pool and we loved relaxing by it while the played. Close to all amenities, restaurants, beach, shopping. Will be back again!

Hello Momtraveler123456, Thank you for your review, I appreciate your positive feedback about our hotel. We realize that there are many hotel choices in Monterey, and we thank you for choosing BW De Anza Inn. We look forward to see you again soon!

Yes it was a large comfortable room with helpful staff. But the downside was the bathroom was dirty full of long dark hairs on the tub mat and walls of the shower. I found a blueberry in the sink too. The management was very responsive to clean it very well the next day but there should be a standard of cleanliness especially during this time in a pandemic. The grab n go breakfast has very few choices and was terrible - I was glad I brought fruit and protein bars.

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Hello Jeannine, Thank you for your review, I am glad we were able to create a quick solution to the room. I will bring back your comments to my team so that we can offer a better experience for your and our future guests. We currently attempting to expand our breakfast options as we moved forward with the pandemic. I do hope you allow us another opportunity to better serve you and to offer a superior customer experience.

Staff was amazing. Upon entry made family and I feel very welcomed. Housekeeping were very helpful. The room was super clean. Great distance to Monterey Day Aquarium and other down town attractions. The restaurants next door both East and West were very delicious.

Hello Gonzalezja90, Thank you for your review, and for choosing to stay with The Deanza Inn. I hope your next stay is just around the corner. Call us if there is anything we can help you with.

Night staff member did not answer calls from room. Refused attending to problem when someone's car alarm went off 6 times in parking lot (a registered guest she could contact). Was making personal phone calls at front desk with her cell phone and sometimes unavailable at front desk

Hello, Excursion73411 I apologize that our team did not meet your expectations. I will be bringing your comments to our team, that way we can offer a more superior customer experience. I do hope on your future trip to Monterey you choose to give The De Anza Inn another chance. Thank you.

Convenient, clean and affordable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel is close to food, shops and amenities. Will definitely use this hotel again in the future. It was a short drive to get to downtown Monterey.

We had 8 people and our room was the perfect size! Very nice staff! Room didn't have AC but we should've probably called and had them fix it. The pool was nice too! Jets on hot tub didn't work but it was ok! Price was great for us as well!

Polite people at the front desk, but room was a night mare. There were blood stains on the sheet and used condoms on the table. Very unsanitary, especially during the pandemic. Very unsafe for families. I will never be back

Dear Rocky W, I am glad to hear that staff met your expectations. I am saddened that the cleanliness of the room was not up to standard. I do not find this to be acceptable and would like the opportunity to speak with you and make this right. Please contact me via email or phone 831-646-8300, Miguel@deanzainn.com

Somewhat older but spacious super clean well-kept room! Very comfortable bed! Friendly and accommodating front desk personnel. The only downside was our room was directly across from the maid storage/laundry room, and it seemed the hall had multiple maid carts at a time, making it quite narrow. So get a room either on the other wing or upstairs. The maids were super friendly, but their carts weren't.

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Hi Ned, Thank you for the review. I am pleased to hear that we met most of your expectations. I apologize for the "unfriendly" cart placement. We will address your comments at the next meeting in order to brain storm a new plan. In your future travels to the area we hope that you consider staying with us again.

Nice large clean room right next to front desk because it is a pet room. outdated, one heater did not work and bathtub plug was not useable for a bath. Bedroom is huge, huge closet, nice big kind size bed and a patio outside your door to let your fur babies run around. Price was outrageous for being so outdated. staff is very friendly. If you park in the back of hotel you will use one elevator to arrive at the main level of hotel.

. Me and my husband wanted a little getaway for our anniversary . We look at this hotel and decided to book it. The staff was amazing and friendly Hotel room was huge with a fridge and microwave it was a + the bed was the best unbelievably comfortable and clean . I would definitely book again

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Hi Mandy, Thank you for the review! Our staff is pleased to know you enjoyed the stay during your anniversary get away. We look forward to seeing you again!

We stayed there for 2 days in March. We were welcomed very nicely by Juliana. The room was decent but the sheer curtains were torn and one of the hangers broken. We used the stairs instead of the elevator and the handrail was very sticky. I did not want to touch it. We told the front desk and they immediately went to wipe it down. We found later that they did wipe the rail on top but it still was sticky if you grasped it.

The hotel in itself was decent. Nice sized room. However, the curtains weren't in the best shape. We also didn't sleep very well because of the pillows, but that can be attributed to personal preference. I would rate 3/5, but the customer service made it to a 4/5. We had Juliana who checked us in, and she is the exact person you want greeting you after a whole day of driving. She was very friendly and accommodating. She even gave us a card to three different restaurants and wrote her name down so we could get a free appetizer. She made the hotel experience so much better.

We recently stayed at the Best Western De Anza for a 5 night stay with our dog. Jackie who works at reception was unbelievably helpful. We checked in late (around midnight) and she was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, and even gave us a doggy bag for our pup. Jackie went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and even made a list of local attractions for us and gave us restaurant recommendations. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Jackie was, each night we saw her she had a huge smile on her face, greeted our dog like she was her best friend and gave us all the extra supplies (towels, etc.) we could need. We will definitely be back.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your review! I am extremely pleased that Jaclyn met all of your expectations and then some, our team does attempt to go above and beyond. We hope that you book with us again on your next visit to the Monterey area.

The room was spacious and comfortable. The people were amazing as well. It is also very nicely located near all the sights and restaurants. The only suggestion i have is to get outlets or furniture with usb ports so it is easier for charging devices.

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for your review of our property. I am pleased to know our full team met your expectations. The topic of upgrading to more tech-savvy rooms can be addressed at our next meeting. We hope that you stay with us again while traveling through Monterey.

I was in town visiting my family. stayed 1 night, room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Pete's coffee was not strong enough for a woman my age in the morning. Breakfast was simple yet adequate.

Miguel Renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for all your compliments of our property and staff. I apologize for the lack of zing in your morning caffeine. We look forward to you staying with us during a future visit.

We had a last minute change of location so I was thrilled that we were able to find vacancy in Monterey. The hotel was nice and situated conveniently near the freeway. The wind was really bad on Saturday and the skylight broke in the lobby. Luckily no one was hurt.

Hello Traveler, Thank you for reviewing our property. I am pleased to know that we provided a positive experience for your last minute stay. We are also happy that no one was injured during our wind storm damage. We hope that you consider staying with us again when visiting the Monterey area.

We stayed in rm #308 (non smoke, king size with the sofa). The AC wasn't working properly so we opened up all the windows and was luckily enough to have the nice Monterey breeze flow through the room. We stayed for two nights and when we asked for additional pillows was told they ran out. On Saturday night I received a call from the front desk asking if I was playing loud music? I told them no and that it was so quite in our room that the phone ringing startled me he then quickly apologized and we hung up. Overall, this Inn is a bit outdated and definitely needs some renovation done. We stay here because their pricing was reasonable and it was a decent stay for the most part.

miguel renteria, General Manager at Best Western De Anza Inn, responded to this review
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm so sorry to hear the room was a little warm upon your arrival. We are very fortunate to have that nice coastal breeze every night that makes the need for air conditioning very minimal so we do not have any. With COVID-19 we've unfortunately had to reduce our pillow count to 2 pillows per bed, but extras are available upon request. We do keep the extra pillows in deep storage so if we do run out our evening hosts are unable to gather more. I've upped the number of clean and sanitized pillows we have on hand so this should not happen in the future. I'm also sorry to hear your nice quiet evening was interrupted by Guest Services. We do our best to locate the noisy guests but it's not a perfect science as we can't enter all rooms. We're continually working on new ways to improve this and we welcome any and all feedback. Thanks for choosing the Best Western De Anza Inn, and we hope to see you again soon.

The room was small and had what looked like a locked utility closet in it. The bed was like sleeping on an air mattress, very uncomfortable. The hotel is on a busy road so cars speeding by all night, and let's not forget the planes that flew low overheard. You could also hear people moving around on the 2nd floor. Not how I wanted to spend my anniversary. We decided to cut our trip short by a day and head home early. Do yourself a favor and pick someplace else to stay.

Dear Tumbleweed. Thank you for your review, I would like to apologize for not meeting your expectations during your recent stay. Our property does offer adjoining rooms and those doors do have accessible locks that are visible to our guests. Different times of the year can greatly change the amount of traffic our location may receive. Our property is the closest hotel to the Monterey Airport and most flights do occur during the day. Although we have no control over these events, our team is always there to cater to your needs. If you are planning on traveling to our area again, please don't hesitate to contact me. My team and I would appreciate the opportunity of offering you a quitter and non-adjoining room on your next stay.

We planned to stay for one night, but changed our mind once we go there and decided to stay another night. Our first night was in a King size bed, it was super quiet, but the water pressure was less than a gentle rain shower! We ended up needing to check out and re-check in later the second day because the King was already booked. Our second night was in 2 Queens. We were next door to a family with some young children who were running and bouncing around. It was kind of noisy until about 8:30, but after that it was fine. The water pressure for this room was great. The rooms were only about 3 doors apart, but very different experiences. Still, a great stay for the price!!

Dear KarenMurphuy Your review is much appreciated. Our team takes pride in catering to our guests, I am pleased to hear we offered a great experience, you are helping us deliver a superior experience for you and other guests in the future. Our team hopes you will come back and see us again soon.

For the price and area the accommodations are great. Very close to the beach, stores, and food options. As a Gold member of Best Western and Hotels.com I travel frequently. I used 16,000 BW rewards points for a free night and paid for my second night. While the rooms are a bit dated, they are large and feature a cute sitting area, microwave, and refrigerator. A safe is also provided in each guest room. Staff was very friendly checking in and out. One elevator is on site going to all floors and rear parking lot. Breakfast isn't as fancy as others, lacking hot food choices other than waffles you can make. Oat meal, breads, and cereal with coffee and juices are provided. WiFi is a strong signal being super fast. Good selection of TV channels to watch. The only issues I would recommend since the rooms lack AC is to provide a fan since I'm use to air circulation and white noise. Pictures show some rooms having a ceiling fan but my room (302) lacked such. Also, the rear parking is a bit dark since one light was out and a camera should be added for guest security. Overall this is a very cute homey feeling hotel at a great value being less than a five minute drive to Del Monte Beach. I would definitely return in the future. There are several other Best Westerns in Monterey with different price ranges so make sure you drive to the correct location. Next door is a Denny's diner. Across the street is a CVS store and pharmacy. Up to a few blocks down there is a Burger King, KFC, several liquor stores and 7-Eleven's. There are also a few mom-pop sit down restaurants to try.

We spent 2 nights here on our Californian trip. Hotel seems to be a little older however we found it to be very clean, beds were comfortable and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Complimentary breakfast was limited compared to what we had to choose from at the best western in Oceanside. Overall a good experience and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again of in the area on the future.

I have to say that the hotel was surprisingly close to Monterey Fishermans Wharf area. The hotel was clean and area was good. The furnishings appeared to be a little outdated and TV was a little small. It was quiet and clean with a short drive to wharf for dinner. There is also a great restaurant next door. I would definitely stay here again ...I would grade this hotel a strong B.

I paid for a room that I didn't use. I ended up starting across the street at Super 8. It was fine. I'm not sure if the error was mine or the website's. Disgruntled. Salty. Upset. Almost ruined my trip. Almost.

Good Afternoon Elizabeth, I would like to apologize again for not meeting your expectations. I am very sorry to hear that your are salty with out hotel and Best Western. I have reached out to you also via our in house reviews system. please take a look at our response, I do hope in the future we can make your future stay better experience with no salt. thank you.

Cheap option for a quick night stay as we passed through town. The hotel overall was not very clean probably due to the age of the hotel, from the lobby to the room and bathroom, it all needed some updating and extra elbow grease. Limited parking spaces. Breakfast area too small and located right next to the elevator so everyone was bumping into one another. I'm sure there are better options in the area for similar price ranges.

I love the hotel here in Monterey, beds are comfy and staff are usually great. Though during check in I was a bit displeased. I know this BW offers suites. It was during a low peak time. I asked the front desk for an upgrade for a suite. She stated that there isn't really an upgrade, and I already had a room with 2 queen beds. I thought OK, so I went to my room to check their website, and still showed suites available. I felt quite upset on how rude the front desk clerk was, especially made me feel how my room should be good enough. I have stayed here before where the front desk clerk has upgraded me to a suite because I usually stay here frequently.

I made a note of our room number so we can get it again. The staff was awesome. Loved our stay. This area was ideal. We did a whale watch, visited Cannery Row, and did a day trip to Salinas to see the John Steinbeck Center. My husband golfed. Weather is perfect.

Close to Hwy 1 . Quiet neighborhood with multiple hotel locations. There were several food options within walking distance. Denny's is next door.. Parking can be tight so recommend checking in earlier rather than later.

Dear tsn94306. Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay and We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel. Yes we do also have the Denny's to the right of us, But we also have The Monterrey Cook house to the left of us. We also have a sushi place called Sushi by the bay just down the street to the left of us. that would be 1 of my recommendations. Thank you

We stayed here for two nights, and found the Inn to be affordable, spacious, clean, and the personnel very hospitable. Parking is very easy and the breakfast food plentiful. The only problem was the room heater which couldn't be set at a particular temperature, so when on, the room got very warm, and off, the room was cold.

Dear Traveler. Thank you for your review and for choosing our hotel. I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay and We are looking forward to having you again as a guest in our hotel. We will look into the matter of our heating units. Thank you.

We always enjoy this hotel, close to the freeway for north and south for day trips. Great breakfast, a little small for the area but the staff keeps things moving by cleaning up tables quickly and they were very accommodating. Room are spacious, we had a king bed and an extra couch for seating. (Not sure if it would open as a bed or not). It is near an airport but only heard the planes if outside heading for our car. Parking is free and available in front and back, in fact the back area enters into the elevator but only with a room card. Very convenient Two restaurants are available on either side of the hotel, easy walk. did not use the pool or spa but it looked nice.

I highly recommend this hotel, the De Anza Inn. There was a problem with my reservation, and the front desk clerk not only took care of it, but actually found a room that was a few dollars off what I had expected to pay! Clean rooms, great Continental breakfast in the morning, even a Keurig to make coffee in the room. Can't say enough about how fabulous this hotel and its staff are!

Dear Travelgubbie, we are glad that you enjoyed your time at the Best Western De Anza Inn, as our team does try very hard to ensure each guest has a wonderful experience. It was a pleasure having you here and we hope to see you again soon!.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, it is affordable, clean, quiet, nice staff, only down side is that rooms don't have ac at this particular hotel but other than that , we'll stay there for sure in our next vacation.

Dear Sandandbeachers2019. Thank you for giving us a perfect rating and for recommending our hotel to other travelers. I'm sure our entire hotel staff enjoyed catering to your needs as much as you enjoyed your stay. If you're traveling to our area gain soon, don't hesitate to call us.

Few things to be aware of before booking the hotel: - This Hotel has no restaurant or room service. They open for breakfast from 7:30-10 AM and that's it. If you need food any other time, you need to order Uber Eats or venture out. - There is no AC in the room. But there is a fan. It got a bit warm and stuffy for me at night. - There is no gym at the hotel. - There is no safe in the room to store your valuables. On the positive side, it is very close to the Monterrey airport. The breakfast is included with the room. Overall, an average hotel. I only spent a night there, so it was fine for me.

Clean rooms, good breakfast, small but nice pool, close to downtown. Spacious rooms, but no air conditioning available, but windows do open. Excellent service and friendly staff. Would stay here again.

Convenient for interstate, very nice hotel with pleasant staff. Really clean, large rooms and a decent breakfast - hot items were breakfast sandwiches/burritos you had to microwave, and there was a variety of cold items.

Hotels are expenisve in Monterey. While this hotel isn't cheap it was well priced for the area and it was a pleasant surprise. Everything is close by in town so that was not an issue even though we did have to drive to some attractions. The rooms were large and clean. Breakfast was typical for this type of place. Good coffee from their machine was a plus. Free parking. I would recommend this hotel.

Superbly well organized and amazingly staffed! Great environment for family stay on vacation! Lots to do in Monterey CA. Just ask front desk for local and surrounding treasure in the best kept secret.

In writing this review objectively, I'll do my best to ignore the fact that because our stay in Monterey coincided with the US Open at Pebble Beach (our reason for coming here), I paid high-end luxury prices for what's really a basic, clean, comfortable but very ordinary budget hotel. I get the idea of supply and demand and of course all the local properties jacked their rates up for the event. And I knew all this ahead of time and obviously booked this by choice. But I'll always look back on our two-night stay, think about the tab, and question my sanity. WHAT WAS GOOD: Our room was comfortable enough, clean and very much in line with what you'd expect from a good budget hotel. There was an in-room fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee machine….Breakfasts were actually very good. There was an assortment of refrigerated breakfast sandwiches and burritos you could microwave and a DIY Belgian Waffle machine. Coffee choices, breads, fruits and everything else were very good….To take the sting off the tariff a little, the staff provided a complimentary bottle of Pinot Noir, chocolates and cheese. A very nice touch. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER: The TV was about the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel room. THINGS TO KNOW: Freemont Street is a commercial strip so don't expect scenic surroundings. The location is convenient though and all the local attractions are a short car ride away….Typical of hotels in Monterey, there's no air conditioning. So, without the constant sound of a fan, you may hear some noise. This was not an issue during our stay. BOTTOM LINE: This would be a good choice in Monterey if you're looking for basic comfort at a (normally) fair price.

The facilities are clean and the room was spacious, but what would bring me back to this hotel is the customer service. We stayed two nights. In the mornings I let my husband sleep in and my daughter and I went down for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised at the continental breakfast provided. There was a variety of food beyond pastries and fruit. My favorite was the fresh Belgian waffle. The customer service at the breakfast was amazing. My first morning there, there was a kind breakfast attendant who assisted me by getting a high chair for my one year old and asked if she could help me get my food as she saw it was tough to get food and carry my daughter at the same time. The second morning- Mary was the only employee there, and she kept everything running and all the guests happy. She worked both the front desk and assisted with breakfast- ensuring all the breakfast supplies were fully stocked then would help a customer at the front desk. She was cleaning up spills and assisting the guests with a smile. As my daughter and I had breakfast, I couldn't help but compliment her as she didn't miss a beat. Whatever a guest asked for, she responded quickly and ensured they were satisfied. Mary was constantly on the go- taking care of every need. If she was overwhelmed, she didn't show it. As a tourist in Monterey, I saw a few frustrated workers who shouldn't be in customer service. It was refreshing to see someone who worked hard and cared about a customer's experience. Thank you Mary for going above and beyond for us.

On a busy street not far from the airport, but we had a corner room on the back side and were surprised at how quiet our three night midweek stay was. Staff was attentive and friendly, room extremely clean.

Nice area, helpful staff, the room was nice, the bed was comfortable, bathroom was nice. I wish they can serve the breakfast around 6:00 am in the morning, but if need to grab something quick, they have coffee, bread, bagel for you. I love this hotel. Will come back when we in Monterey. Thank you!

Kudos to Basanta and his staff. They truly are the "best" in Best Western! The entire place is very clean and well kept.There are eating places close by too. And a bowling alley to boot.The breakfast served in morning in sufficient to get your day going. If you want more Dennys' is next door. Literally! I am working a long term project down here and having a place like"home" means alot. The staff makes the difference.

This hotel is maintained very well and the entire staff strives to make your stay most enjoyable. I travel a lot in retirement and this is one of my favorite locations. Kudos to who ever is in charge of such an experienced, helpful, and friendly staff that makes your stay most enjoyable.

We just stayed her for 1 night on our California road trip, but as all BW Hotels you know that it is good. Very good price/quailty rate. Clean room, descent breakfast thats all we need when we are on the road !

This hotel is clean and neat. Not fancy, per se, but adequate and the staff was very friendly. I'd definitely stay here again when in Monterey. No in room air conditioners but otherwise well-appointed and worth the money.

Stayed here for one night on our drive South. We usually use hotels in the Hilton group but this place was quite a bit cheaper for our night. I had asked for a room without a connecting door but was still allocated a connecting room. The guy in reception sorted it out for me without any fuss. The room was clean and comfortable. Two easy chairs which made a nice change. Everything clean and comfortable. We did hear voices from the next room in the morning but not during the night. Breakfast area was far too small and with very few tables. Breakfast wasn't really worth the effort. Not even up to Hampton Inn standards. Overall, it was good value for money.

We just had a 3 night stay here to visit the area and were so pleasantly surprised. It's the Best Best Western we've ever stayed in. I can't remember the last time we've stayed anywhere that the entire staff was so sincerely happy and helpful. They kept everything very clean, our room was large and we really enjoyed having the extra space with the table and 2 chairs. Fremont is currently under construction and is a bit of a pain, but we still appreciated the location since it was so close to all the major sites we went there to see. This was a great value as well, as the prices in this area can be quite expensive.

If I were to visit Monterey again I would probably choose another hotel. This one was ok but the service was sub par. We had to wait for our room to be cleaned after we got back from all day exploring at 430. When we went to ask why the front desk clerk was out smoking in the parking lot talking to his girlfriend. I only know that because they were making out a couple of times

We had stayed here to attend the Artichoke Festival, which was only a block and half walking distance away. The room was huge. Check-in was flawless with new employee Phillip. Very polite and informative on the area for us. The lobby has a big koi pond which kids will love. Lots of parking. Very quiet, complimentary continental breakfast. Small pool outside but a little too cold for the day we checked in. Nearby restaurants within walking distance too.

I was very impressed w/this Best Western (BW). Location was close to a lot of places. Front desk people were awesome. We were initially at the end of the hall on the top floor. I called & asked if we could move. They were very accommodating & so nice. The room was exceptionally clean & bed was very comfortable. We were impressed as well w/breakfast. The greatest thing this BW has, is a breakfast sandwich. It had sausage, cheese & egg. All in one sandwich. Just had to go the frig to get breakfast sandwich & microwave. I wish ALL BW's would do this. It was also great when we were on the go. Also, Housekeeping was superb. They right away gave us extra towels when we needed them. They always took that extra step to meet your needs. I'd like to give a “shout out” to a lady named, Daniela, who was in charge of breakfast. I noticed several people needing help with the waffle maker, coffee machine, etc. She was so patient with all those people needing assistance. She is one awesome person.

Small hotel. Very smart and clean. Staff so friendly. Phil on reception so helpful and welcoming. Rooms large. Breakfast very good. Parking easy. Great quiet area near to shops. Short drive to the beach.

Based on my last stay at this hotel, I decided to visit again while visiting friends in Monterey and Pacific Grove. The staff at De Anza seems even more willing to help, and service was on point. This little gem is among the best values I stay at during my many hotel stays each year.

We (2 couples) stayed 3 nights in room with 2 queens. While this is not 4 star hotel, it is a clean, friendly, cost efficient stay. The room was clean and well set up. The grounds appeared well taken care of. The koi pond inside the lobby is a nice place to sit, watch and relax. The pool is small but looked clean (cold days so we didn't get in) and has a lift for disabled guests to get in and out. There were people using the hot tub. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I did not see or hear any other customers having a bad experience with staff either. They do not have a large breakfast but have hot / cold cereals, breakfast burritos and sandwiches you can heat, make your own waffles (including cinnamon, chocolate chips, nuts, powdered sugar, berry syrup), juices, coffee and hot chocolate (which you don't often find and I really like), yogurt, bagels and toast, pastries, and fresh fruit. Probably forgetting something. There is an elevator for upper floor, ice and vending machines on 2nd floor. The hotel is only a few minutes from Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium (they also have 2 day passes for price of 1 for sale at front desk). This was our 3rd stay in about 6 years (all our visits to Monterey) and will use again on our next.

We arrived very late and they were expecting us. The lady at the front desk was amazing, she not only checked us in pretty fast, but she also gave us a map and recommendations of the area. We got a room on the first floor, amazing with kids, close to the lobby, where breakfast is served. They have a pretty koi pond. The room was very spacious and the bathroom looked recently updated and was very clean. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again.

Stayed here for marathon weekend. Incredibly reasonable price. The customer service was rock solid! I was so impressed. Every staff member was hospitable, positive, talkative, and always asked what else they could do to help. Room was very clean and quiet. It was a little outdated but the service and cleanliness made up for it. Highly recommend!!!!

While this hotel is not in the center of the tourist area, it offers convenient access to everything the area has to offer and with many good restaurants nearby, its location, coupled with the affordable rates and huge rooms, make this hotel is an excellent value for the area. The room was clean and very large with lots of room for our family to spread out. Equipped with plenty of seating, a large flat-panel TV, microwave, mini-fridge, coffeemaker and safe, we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The in room Wi-Fi was strong, reliable and complimentary as was parking and breakfast. Although the breakfast is billed as continental, microwavable breakfast sandwiches and burritos are available making for a hearty start to the day. The staff was friendly and helpful in providing pointers as we used this hotel as a base to explore the entire Monterey Peninsula, Pinnacles National Park and the northern end of the Big Sur Coast.

We stayed for 2 nights last week to visit Big Sur. Pros: -Clean and spacious room -Good breakfast and free Peet's coffee in lobby -Small heated pool, great for kids -Big fridge -Friendly staff Cons: -Didn't honor promise of top floor quiet room during booking through Orbitz. Staff told us the hotel was fully booked due to some event, so we got a room on 2nd floor facing front street. -No air conditioner. Room was hot after family took shower, opening the window helped but came with price of road noise. -Could hear neighbor's noise of shower and walking above us. Overall, I would recommend this hotel, but try to get a top floor facing back. Keep window open so temperature would be good, then close it when you are ready to sleep.

My daughter and I were very warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. All staff we interacted with was very friendly. Mary, at the front desk was the friendliest, kindest and most thoughtful person I have ever interacted with at a hotel. She went above and beyond for us. My daughter and I had to leave due to my daughter having some anxiety issues. Mary, not only offered us waters and a snack for the road, she seemed genuinely concerned for my child. On top of that, because we had booked through a third party (hotels.com) we walked me through the cancellation process... Because we were driving home, I hadn't yet called when I received a phone call from Hotels.com notifying me that the request for the nights refund had been accepted... Mary had called for us!! I would stay at this hotel again 100% for her. ALL of the staff we interacted with were very friendly. The hotel was nice and in a decent area. THANK YOU, Mary! You are amazing!!!

First I would like to thank hotel manager Mr.Basanta and his staff for his kindness and hospitality. The overall score for the hotel is just perfect, the location is perfect 10 min from the beach, the design is perfect, my room was spacious and comfortable and well design. Highly recommended hotel, a place with a soul and where I find PEACE! I will come back! and More!!

This was my worst experience at a best western. The front desk agent was missing for at least an hour and a half when I arrived to check in. Her i'm Sorry was not commensurate with the inconvenience she caused me, another couple waiting to check in, and a guest who was locked out of his room. She claimed to have been “assisting another guest”. I can't imagine a front desk agent thinking it is acceptable to leave the front desk unattended for at least 90 minutes, 20% of their shift, to assist 1 guest. I have no worlds for how frustrated I was.

A little dated but roomy and clean. Breakfast was adequate but would be better if they offered scrambled eggs and a meat. Pool and jacuzzi were nice. The pool was heated. Mary at the counter was very accommodating.

We had a one night stop in Monterey on our road trip on the Coast. We liked our stay. Mary was more than friendly, very welcoming at the desk. We bought pur Aquarium ticket there too, in order to fasten our entry the morning after. The room was clean, with enough space. The breakfast was okay, not a lot of choices but enough to do the trick.

Arrived after day of driving through Big Sur. Location was convenient to restaurants and shopping. In busy street not in scenic Monterey but ok for stop along the trip. Staff was very helpful ( where to eat, extra towel, non-dairy milk at breakfast). Room was clean and big enough for 4 suitcases and people. Only negatives were bed not too comfortable and breakfast hot items were limited to microwave sandwiches and burritos.

Wow this was a very nice hotel , near to shops and restaurants at walking distance. Everything in the room was excellent we were so happy with it. They provided breakfast and there was alot of varieties to choose from. Customer service was great. Would def be back here again.

Breakfast was great for continental impressed by the complimentary peet's coffee.very comfortable bed and pillows. Cvs in front, denny's and a restaurant on the sides. However me and my wife arrived at around 11pm, frontdesk lady took long for the checking in. Informations are not cleared when we arrived ( i just wanted to go to my room and sleep after the long drive) we decided to stay another night so I called the front desk and then she can't understand me. I came down to talk to her personally but she said she doesn't know how to do it. Very frustrating.

Recently spent four nights in this hotel and came away very impressed! Our room was enormous, with a very comfortable bed, sofa, work table and large windows in two directions. View out back is very green - at tree top level. Excellent room heater - very important during this extra cool California winter. Parking in the back is easy and free. Breakfast is a standard "continental" which can be skipped - we just drank their coffee and ate food from the local Trader Joe, which we stored the large room fridge. This was actually the nicest chain hotel we stayed in during our three week trip to California this winter. It is not downtown, but it is close to the local Monterey "Del Monte" beach and to some inexpensive and tasty Mexican restaurants. Highly recommended and a good value for the price we paid.

My sister and I get together twice a year to spend a week catching up. For the past three years we have stayed at the BW DE Anza, Monterey. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with all the necessary emenities. The staff is friendly and accommodating. However I do want to specifically mention Mary and Daniela. They both were always ready to make sure our needs were met and both made a big lasting impression. Thank you. We will be back soon!

This place has a heated and jacuzzi. The room was spacious and provided a microwave, safe, Keurig, and refrigerator. Continental breakfast is provided. Customer service was helpful and nice. Parking is free. I've provided pictures of the room and their breakfast. The only items I didn't take a pic of were the fruit and yogurt.

We stayed her for 2 nights in late January and really enjoyed this hotel. The breakfast was a very nice one with waffles and pancakes, bagels cereal. toast and so much more....and free Peets coffee. I wasnt looking for a hotel on the beach and this hotel was in a nice quiet area with a Dennys next door one way and a bowling alley on the other side where our kids went to play!

Despite an unimposing facade and not very pretty surroundings where it is situated in Monterey, this hotel offers excellent service, very good amenities and extremely convenient location to all travel essentials (including distance from Monterey airport, reasonable restaurants, 24 hr diner, pharmacy etc). The rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast is average and adequate. The icing on this cake is the outstanding staff - Mary,Emmy, Kristelle, Basanta, Daniela - all display a warmth, courtesy and hospitality that is rarely seen even in hotels with highest star ratings. They absolutely made our week's stay very memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to all.

We stayed here for a weekend. It was a pleasant stay. We reserved a King Suite for our family of three. It was spacious and clean. The price was reasonable and close enough to all the places we were visiting in the area. We would stay here again especially for the value.

Nnot the best location but an affordable, friendly and comfortable place to stay while visiting the Monterey Peninsula. Easy walking access to the sights of Monterey's wharf and beach. Road work currently taking place on Fremont St. but caused no problems for us.

Always friendly staff and very clean rooms. Love all the amenities that are offered. Couldn't believe they even had a Kerig coffee maker. Very fast check in and checkout. Plenty of breakfast items to choose from.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my family between Christmas and New Years, taking day trips to Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and 17-mile-drive. It was my birthday and my family bought us cupcakes. The hotel staff went out of their way to help find a lighter for a candle, and they made me a cute card! Clean, neat room, good water pressure, helpful staff, good coffee and breakfast items. Also one of the few affordable hotels in Monterey that has queen size beds! Stay here!

I would like to tell you about my wonderful experience at the Best Western De Anza last Thursday. My boyfriend had arranged a special night out for us since we hadn't had much time together. He called, and the man working, Samuel, told him about the suites they had available for Thursday and how nice they were. We chose the King Suite and made our reservation. We got a late start and upon arriving I wasn't feeling well. When we reached the hotel Samuel was working late that night. He greeted us with a smile and a welcome and told us that he was expecting us and had everything prepared for our arrival. I mentioned I wasn't feeling well and he said that he would get us into our room quickly. Which he did. He helped my boyfriend bring the bags in from the car to our room then wanted to know if there was anything he could do to help my upset stomach. I told him there really wasn't. Then he said to give him ten minutes and he would be back. The room was just as described, clean, spacious, comfortable. When Samuel returned he had a platter with a mug of hot water and an assortment of tea, two pieces of toast, a Sprite, and two bananas. He said “My grandma always gave me Sprite and toast when I had a tummy ache and the tea would feel warm on my stomach.” It was just what the doctor ordered. Who does that??? When my boyfriend tried to give him a tip Samuel refused to take it saying “That's why they pay me the big bucks” and if we need anything at all just to call the desk because he would be there all night. Hopefully we'll try it again when I'm feeling better and I hope we get to see Samuel again and thank him for going above and beyond to make a bad situation much better. We will be back! Thank you again Samuel. They should give you a raise! Casey & Brian

My 18 month old daughter and I arrived at this hotel at 0130 a.m. on 1 December and we stayed until 17 December (when we found an apartment). Best welcome to the US and to Monterey ever!! Upon arrival Samuel was absolutely lovely, helpful and accommodating (when I discovered that I had left behind the key to my daughter's suitcase and needed something to break it open). After 21 hours of travel I was completely exhausted and spaced out, but he got us settled in and feeling confident about this new adventure. Mary at reception was also lovely, sunny disposition and an incredible resource and source of information for this newcomer. Same with Phillip (who once had to pop over to Denny's for me when cranky baby wouldn't let Momma collect her food)... And the room service staff that always had a smile for me and a cuddle for my daughter. After 17 days in the hotel I felt like these people were my family. They definitely treated us like we were, and happy as I was to finally be moving into my new apartment in downtown Monterey, I was sad to leave my King room (it may be slightly bigger than my new digs) with all its amenities and the lovely staff at the BW DeAnza. Oh and I almost forgot: 1. Convenient location- less than ten minutes from Downtown Monterey in one direction and Sand City in the other. 2. Denny's next door and Monterey Grill Restaurant with lovely staff and food. 3. CVS, 7-ELEVEN, Bus stop, Laundromat all less than 5 minutes walk away. 4. Very clean bedding and towels and rooms, I am OCD so my eagle eyes were open and thankfully found nary a speck of dust or hair or dirty linens. 5. Very quiet at night too. 6. Did I mention the amazing staff?

This is one of the better Best Western hotels we've visited. The room was large and very clean and the bed was comfortable. The included breakfast is ok, not great. The staff was very friendly and helpful and gave us a good recommendation for a dinner spot. It's convenient to Cannery Row (about 1.5 mi), downtown and the Aquarium. We will most certainly stay here again when in Monterey.

The room was nice. It had a microwave and a dorm size fridge with freezer compartment. The room also came with a sofa bed already made. There were no hot foods but there were wrapped burger/burritos in fridge which you can heat in the microwave provided. They also provide sliced almonds, granola, waffle makers. There was even almond milk for those who are allergic to cows milk. But you have to ask for it. Of course, they also had fresh fruit. The waitress was very attentive. The people at the reception desk were very nice. I wouldn't mind coming back to this establishment.

It's inexpensive, close the centre of town, our room was large and well equipped overlooking the street. The reception was very welcoming and helpful. So why not 4 stars? The complimentary breakfast was terrible. It's served in the lobby, is tasteless and the coffee was the worst I tasted during 5 weeks in the US. A pity.

We had a great experience at DeAnza Inn!!! We reserved 2 rooms for 8 guests for a Women's Retreat which was held in Seaside. It was so easy to get around from the hotel. There was only a small 'glitch' at check-in and Mary wasn't quite sure how to handle it so we had to wait for the other lady to finish up with the guests she was helping. Long-story-short Mary made a lengthy wait more enjoyable by keeping conversation going between the two of us whole time!! The only thing that I was not happy with was that the breakfast was not quite a full breakfast, but it was little more than continental. However, there were breakfast burritos, sandwiches, waffles, cereal, toast, muffins, bagels, coffee, tea, juice, etc. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay!

Vert nice hotel. Beautiful room, excellent decor. Great breakfast. Great WiFi. Got in late and wanted something to eat. There is a Denny's next door so we ate there. Food was good and not expensive. Only problem is that our GPS could not find the address "2141 N. Fremont Street. Had to put in Fremont St without the "N".

This hotel is a breath of fresh air after staying at the Monterey Beach Dunes Inn last week (NOT to be confused with the Best Western Beach Dunes Inn.) The price is about $40 less or roughly $120 per night and the hotel is better in almost every way. Firstly the staff is prompt and courteous. The hotel is clean and everything is well-stocked. The rooms are huge. The one king bed type room has a desk, a couch, a sitting chair, a coffee table, several end tables, and a large ottoman. The bathroom has excellent water pressure and the water gets hot fast. The rooms all have a mini-fridge and a safe, neither of which was available at the Beach Dunes Inn. The continental breakfast was a nice treat. You can make your own waffles, hot cereal, bagel or english muffin with cream cheese, fresh fruit, etc. etc. The only downside I can see is there is a bit of road noise if you're on the Fremont Street side.

we stayed at Best Western two weeks back and absolutely loved our stay. Right from the moment we walked in, we just felt so welcomed at the hotel. You know it helps to have an all smiling and engaging staff to welcome you after a long tiring flight:) The hotel is very clean and the rooms are spacious.The beds were comfy too which is surprisingly very hard to find at hotels with such great affordable prices. Breakfast was good and I love love the location. close to the 17 mile drive and the cannery row. There is also a safeway just few mins drive from the hotel just incase you need anything. all in all a memorable stay. we loved Monterey and have already decided to visit the place again so best western will def be our place to go on our next visit.

I was in the area for a wedding and needed a decent place that won't break my bank. Low and behold, I find a great deal at this hotel. I was very impressed with the service and friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area

Stayed here with my friends. Was very impressed by the service provided. The hotel is lovely and the staff were helpful and welcoming. Room was clean and larger than I expected. I had a great stay at this hotel!

Hotel located in tip of north Monterey; easy access to Highway 1. Free breakfast is really misleading, as there was nothing hot served. You could microwave Jimmy Dean sandwiches or burritos, eat cold hard boiled egg, or make waffles. Seating at breakfast extremely limited, just not enough tables/chairs to accommodate guests. Some guests extremely rude and pushy. Front desk staff were not familiar with local restaurants, attractions, shopping amenities at all, did not know where to buy cheapest gas or find cheapest parking.

Absolutely excellent experience. We arrived at about 9:00pm and was surprise to be welcomed with such a great energy. It was calm, cozy with a beautiful music in the lobby. Basanta checked us in and he went above and beyond in every single way. I and my wife still talks about his energy and his willingness to say "yes" to everything. The hotel overall is well maintained. They offer free breakfast as well as FREE PARKING. The only down side is it doesn't have AC but the attitude of staff makes it all. Every single staff that we encounter greeted and smiled at us. Thumbs up for the great hospitality.

The De Anza has a really bad location. Construction everywhere and an awakened U turn to turn in next to a Denny's. No bathrooms on the bottom floor to check in. No place to eat. Large families group in a tile bottom floor where people are checking in and out ! It is chaos! Also slippery floor where a large open fish tank sits when you open the door. Small rooms where you can hear everything and everyone. If you are looking for a quick night to stay alone or a couple could work but not a family. Will not return again.

The hotel room was quite spacious. Very nice size bathroom. Beds are comfortable. Though, the pillows could be a little more firm. Our room was on the third (highest) floor and was facing a pretty busy street. No noise could be hear though and it was a Friday night. The staff was all very friendly and helpful...always with a smile. The brealfast was great, too! Pancakes, waffles, cereals, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, frozen burritos, and coffee/juice. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you taking the time to share your experience with us during your most recent stay at the Best Western De Anza Inn Monterey for our Trip Advisor readers to see! Thank you for your kind words about our staff. We pride ourselves in providing exceptional service for our guests. I am happy that we provided you with a wonderful experience while staying with us. Thank you for your continued loyalty with us, I look forward to welcoming you back in the future where we will accommodate you with firmer pillows.

We chose this hotel due to its proximity to Fisherman's Wharf and connecting restaurants. There are bunch of hotels around Fremont street, each decorated with flowers making the street beautiful to drive in but I can say the same for the whole city. The stay at the hotel was wonderful. The staff are exceptionally polite and sweet. I asked for suggestions on renting bikes and they were more than happy to help. Their continental breakfast featured burrito and sandwich which I loved. I felt that everything had been thought of throughly and taken care of. Will definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay in Monterey so warm.

Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback about your stay at the Best Western De Anza Inn. Our location being close to all the attractions makes it very easy to get around while staying here. I am happy about your stay here and that you plan to be back in the future! We will be ready for you!

Hotel is located about 2 1/2 Miles or 5 min drive from Fisherman's Wharf so is fairly isolated from anything that is touristy although there is a Denny's next door. Good parking all round hotel in well marked bays. Rooms are located on 3 floors with a centrally located lift and stairs at both extreme ends of the building. Lift was slow so made use of staircases so at least got some exercise. Rooms are of a good size with seating area, large comfortable bed. A unit houses the TV, fridge, microwave and a safe which was nice to see. As typical of this part of CA there is no AC just a heating unit in the room and It was quite warm during our stay. We requested a desk mounted fan be supplied and this was immediately despatched to our room. My wife is also allergic to feather pillows so requested if they could be changed to a synthetic fill, which again was effected almost immediately. Breakfast was a fairly typical complimentary breakfast which we found to be OK and was well maintained by a lovely lady. The breakfast area seating is fairly limited but was not a problem for us as we ate early and many families took it to their rooms to eat. We stayed for 2 nights and found on the second day that although the towels etc had been changed all the dirty linen was left piled in the corner of the bathroom. The only other negative for us was the noise. Unfortunately we were located on the second floor. The floor construction I suggest is timber and for both nights of our stay we listened to the occupants of the room above walking around on various occasions. I am sure it was unintentional just that the floor construction is not really compatible with a multi floor hotel facility. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide a detailed feedback regarding your recent experience at our hotel! We apologize for the inconvenience with the road construction. But other than that we are happy to see that we were able to exceed your expectations Everything we do is aimed at providing you with an excellent hotel experience and your feedback is extremely important. We certainly do not compromise on quality. Please come back and visit us again.

From the moment we walked into the lobby and were greeted by smiles of the staff, we knew we made the right choice of hotels for a week of riding horses at the nearby stables. The room was huge (which was great for all our gear), and spotlessly clean. The breakfast in the morning was typical BW style, but it met our morning needs. We are looking forward to making BW De Anza Inn our regular home while visiting Monterey.

A spacious, clean room along Fremont Street in Monterey. It is a little older but well maintained. Queen beds, coffee maker, all the usual stuff in a hotel room. The staff was nice and helpful. The morning breakfast was good. The only problem is that their parking area is pretty small and at the time of our visit, half of it was closed for paving. I was lucky and found a spot to park.

We hope to see you sometime again, I am promise you that you will be accompanied by a legendary experience.

Our check in and check out was excellent. I highly commend the staff. The only reason I gave a 3 is because our room was facing the street so it was a bit noisy and the breakfast area is a tad small. The lady working at the breakfast area is super nice and hard working. Location is great with 2 restaurants right next to each side. We stayed close to the beach most of the time so we paid a bit much here on last minute booking.

This is a very nice, clean and well-maintained facility. The room was large with a comfortable bed. The complimentary breakfast included a variety of hot and cold items. Overall, we would probably stay again next time we are in the area.

Thank you for your short and sweet comment. We strive to produce an absolute best level of service and a clean facility. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you back!

Only about ten minutes from Fisherman's Wharf and fifteen from Cannery Row and the Aquarium. It is nice and clean. We got a large room with all the usual, Wi-Fi, TV, microwave, refrigerator, hair drier, iron, coffee mater. The continental breakfast is basic, I've had better and worse. The staff was very nice. A nice City Park and historic walk are also about five or ten minutes away. There is one elevator and two stairs, I tried to use the stairs when I could. Most of the parking is in back and the elevator is the way in. The ice maker is on the second floor and I spent some time looking for it. We had stayed here before. I have no complaints, it is a basic place to spend the night between days of sightseeing.

Our location is close to all the major places in Monterey. It is perfect for both leisure and business travelers. We look forward to having you back in the near future.

The customer service provided at this hotel is excellent. The room was clean and comfortable with Keurig machine and fridge. Breakfast was wonderful as well and had a variety of different options for being a continental breakfast. In addition, location is perfect as it is close to all sorts of tourist attractions and Monterey must-dos. We were pleasantly impressed with the upkeep of the hotel. The Manager Basanta, is an unbelievable servant leader! He printed out the directions to different places and help us find the right restaurants. He went above and beyond and also made reservations at another locations that we were about to go. He was genuine,helpful and kind. I don't travel often but when I do this is the kind of experience I look for! I will never stay anywhere else in Mo0nterey but this place.

No issues with the room themselves, they're clean, spacious and well kept. Boiler apparently broke down overnight during our second night here leaving us with no hot water whatsoever for the evening or the morning after. Front desk informed us that there was nothing they were going to do about it overnight, and no managers were available to contact either. So no solutions and no compensations. Rather soiled the stay.

I am a retired attorney in his late 60s and live in the San Francisco area. I came to the Monterey for a few days to do some photography. I made reservations for several nights. They have a tiny lobby with a few limited selections for breakfast. One of them is a sausage and egg patty muffin. This comes wrapped in a very thick paper wrapping and is sealed with adhesive. They have a small microwave oven. I decided to have two of them. I put one in the microwave and sat down at a rolling chair at a table that had a computer screen and a keyboard on the far right. I set the other muffin, which, again, is wrapped in very thick paper, on the table. Immediately a woman, whom I believe is named Daniella, said loudly to me "Don't put that on the table". This is while the first one was still cooking. I simply set it down until the other one is still cooking and was berated for doing so. The next day I brought my own laptop computer into the lobby and placed it on the table in front of their computer while waiting for someone else to finish using the microwave. I set one of these muffins wrapped in thick paper next to my computer. She immediately came over and said that I couldn't put the muffin on the table. I said that I was just waiting for someone else to finish using the microwave. It didn't matter to her. What was the muffin going to do-jump over my opened laptop and land on top of their opened keyboard which was behind my computer and land on their keyboard which was behind my computer? This is absurd. I again was spoken to disrespectfully and rudely. I am paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars for the privielige of putting a piece of lousy food on a cheap table. I told the evening manager, Mike about this and he said that he would talk to her. On the following day, I wanted to microwave something for 3 SECONDS. While I had the oven door in my hand and was closing it she suddenly reach over and grabbed the door and forcefully yanked it away from me. I was shocked. I am almost 70 years old. This is also the person who empties the garbage cans and sweeps the floor in the lobby. Assault on a person 65 years or older in California is taken very seriously. When I went into the room after checking in, I saw a number of hairs on the bathroom floor. They remained there for 2 days until I told the front desk. The rubber bathroom stopper was almost completely covered in red algae. The bed sagged very badly. The pillows were just large lumpy chunks of foam rubber. There is no air conditioning. The walls are very thin. The heater is very loud. The furniture is very dated. It is in a so-so part of town, with 2 out of business restaurants nearby. One was out of business when I was here 8 months ago. In the lobby is the saddest koi pond you have ever seen, with large fish swimming listlessly in a very small and very shallow pond. If you want to spend hundreds and hundreds of your hard earned dollars so that you can be treated with disrespect for briefly setting a piece of dry food on a cheap table, so-so cleaning, low end breakfast, traffic noise, this is your place. However, if you want otherwise STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are over 100 places in the area to stay. PLEASE choose one of them. I have travelled a great deal, both here and abroad, and this is about the worst experience I have had. Management by children. I will be contacting the Best Western corporate office regarding my assault. VERY low class.

We hope to have another opportunity to serve you, if your travels bring you back to our area.

The Best Western De Anza is a SUPERB value in a great location! For the past six years, the De Anza has been our home away from home. They have provided consistent helpful and friendly service, a clean and comfortable environment, as well as continuing to make improvements. This is the place to stay in Monterey! :)

This property is close enough to all the main highlight such as Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, downtown but far enough away to be out of the chaos. As towns run together in the area, it is closer to Seaside, but all are easy drives. This is very well kept and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Will definately stay again.

The room was great, clean and the bed was really comfortable. Having four pillows is a nice touch. We were there for three days of golf. It was perfect. It's hard pleasing 4 guys. One guy got up early and had a waffle and a cup of coffee down stairs. Then we all went to Denny's, right next door, for a big breakfast before tee time. Dinner and beer at the Cook House, which is also right next door, was also perfect. Don't take my word for it. There were two other groups of golfers doing the same thing.

First and foremost it would take a great deal of thoughtfulness and awareness on the part of most of your staff, namely the managing supervisor. We rented the King Suite. It happened to share a wall with the hotel office. The manager was so unbelievably loud on the second day that we stayed at the hotel that I mentioned it once to a front desk associate and the second time I went to the front desk and spoke with the manager. He did not apologize, only excused the issue by saying he had had a meeting. Next point, I attempted to buy cappuccino several times from the machine lobby and it never worked. I let the front desk know and the issue was never resolvedZ I say again, I tried several times to spend money at the hotel and could not. Lastly, when we arrived there was a front desk associate named Mayra, I believe, who never welcomed us to the hotel only asked us for our name when we first arrived. This isn't the greeting you want when you spend money to stay at an establishment while away from home. That kind of customer service is laughable. I will say, the highlight of our stay was Denise. She was a front desk associate and was the most kind and lovely woman. She was always there for any questions she had and she always wore and genuine and welcoming smile. You need about 5 more Denise's at your hotel to make it worth the stay.

Foremost, I'd like to begin with something you should have received much soon, i.e, an apology. I apologize for any inconvenience that you might have encounter during your recent experience with us.

Please give us another chance to make up for what happened last time. I can assure you that your upcoming experience with us will be nothing but a legendary one. Also, Denise would to express a sincere gratitude and cannot wait to have you back as our guest again.

Best stay ever! Place is very clean, quiet and just all around nice. Staff are excellent and attentive to any needs. I would definitely recommend if in the Monterey area. We will be back soon. The manager, Edwin, is so sweet. Asked for a extra blanket and he had it for us in under 1 minute ! ????

We checked in late evening, parking was a struggle but we were able to manage it. Did not realize the first floor and the lobby was also used for breakfast which is terrible if you stay on the first floor. The staff start preparing breakfast early at around 4 AM which is very noisy. Woke up few times because of all the noise of chairs and other things being dragged around. When we mentioned this, they just said they were preparing breakfast. You'd expect them to show empathy and adjust the rate but I guess they are after every penny regardless of the customer's satisfaction

Checked in to this hotel late in the evening, was expecting Best Western level service but received Hojo service. The drain was clogged and the sheets were dirty. Called the front desk, no answer! Called back in the morning, the manager did not return my call.

They did not have the room that I reserved available. Staff was very unaccomindating. They made my family sleep in a 1 king bed room. I had requested a noon check in time and showed up at 1:00. I was told the rooms were not ready. I went back at 3:00 and they did not have the requested room for me. The room has a flickering light (which they did fix), dirty sheets (both the top and the bottom as seen in the pictures), and hair in the bathtub. We had stayed here before but will no stay here again. Being a Gold Member does not mean anything at this place.

It was very good no complaints and very spacious for one night. There was many facilities in the room like a large fridge and microwave which is very handy. It has a nice set up eith a couch and tv. And a nice free breakfast

This B/W is very comfortable and convenient. The staff, especially the Front Desk Clerk was extremely helpful and accommodating with this last moment reservation. The breakfast was okay, but could be improved upon with a greater variety of items. The Hotel is located between two restaurants and near other amenities. We will be returning to this Hotel.

We went to this motel because of the price, it is the lowest among all Best Westerns. However, is it really worth risking yours and your loved ones safety to save $10 a night? I don't think so! You should be aware that if she stay in this motel you can't walk anywhere. There are a lot of homeless people around the hotel and Denny's. On our second night there were people in a car in the closed parking spot and it looked like they were smoking something. We called Front Desk to report it but no one picked up the phone. We ended up double locking our door and check-out before our actual check-out day. We went to Park Crest Inn after which was much more secure and convenient.

Stayed here during the rainy days. The hotel is old and not well maintained. It is leaking in the hall ways and in our room. I don't remember the room number but it was in the top floor. We usually love to have a top floor room but in this hotel it is not suggested, in fact you might as well skip it and go stay in a hotel that does not leak. TERRIBLE!!!!

I stayed here twice in January. At the beginning of the month for two nights an at the end of the.month for three nights. Both visits i found that this place is kept very clean. If there is anything not working properly they immediately take care of it. The beds are very comfortable and so are the pillows. The staff is very friendly and they make you feel very comfortable. On the last visit i inquired about a Greek restaurant that serves tabouli. The clerk on duty said she would do some research and find out for me. I told her i could research it but she wanted to do that for us. The next morning she told me of one such one she found. It was very sweet of her.. This is a small Hotel/Inn with three floors interior corridors with clerk at the desk 24 hrs. Also a non smoking establishment like most places of lodging in this area. They serve a nice breakfast, between 7 and 10 even earlier if they see people in the lobby. Breakfast choices are fresh fruits, dry cereal, oatmeal, waffles, yogurt, coffee, tea, milk and bagels, butter, cream cheese. Also some kind of roll that had egg and ham in it I think. Also hard boiled eggs. It is set up where you can serve yourself. You can get coffe or tea anytime of day. Their koi pond just as you enter the hotel is very attractive as it is relaxing. Also the rooms have a fridge and microwave. Free wifi. Just a short drive to all the nearby attractions including Carmel and Pacific Grove This would be our first choice when visiting this area again.

The staff was great... particularly for check-in. The morning breakfast was good overall. The coach in our suite needed replacement, the pillows could have been better. The room was clean. The complain was without air conditioning you needed to open a window, and a smoke free outside is not maintained, so we were inundated with cigarette smoke in our room. Would not recommend.

We've stayed here several times and each trip has been very nice. Large, clean rooms, genuinely pleasant staff, adequate free breakfast, close to everything and a hundred bucks cheaper than a comparable room two miles closer to town. What's not to like?

It's a very nice hotel, a bit on the expensive side (for such types of hotels) but it was worth it! Stayed for one night only, but definitely enjoyed it. Nice rooms, everything working properly, spacious bathroom, fairly good breakfast. What else do you need? Internet free, parking free.

The check in girl was a little short but no biggie. The lady working breakfast was very rude to other guest right in front of me, I almost felt bad for them. They had a coffee machine that had free coffee but you had to swipe your credit card for extras like vanilla or mocha. Those same guest also opened a drawer and took a couple spoons or forks, again not that big of a deal but the gal working there acted like they went inside her purse. The breakfast was hardly called breakfast, more like a bunch of unhealthy crap. They didn't have any fruit, yogurt or healthy choices. It would have been easy to have fruit or even boiled eggs. They did have pastries available which I didn't want, and they also had sugar cereal and waffles.

We booked this hotel as it was a great value. Our room was on the 3rd floor, facing the main road. It was a bit loud in the early morning, but tolerable. The room was clean, well appointed with the amenities that were listed. Edwin at check-in was courteous and informative. The lady that was working at the breakfast area and Daniela were very friendly as extremely helpful as well. The breakfast area is small, but many people were taking their breakfasts to their rooms and our room had a sitting area, so this was not a problem. I would make sure not to get a room on the first floor close to the lobby as I am sure it would be quite noisy at breakfast time. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

I will complaint to the management. The room looks like when we came in. Then, I saw this unknown bag with coins on the dresser. And, some other stuff left in the room, which is probably from the previous guest. I took my little one with me and he was so tired. I tried to call the front desk but no one answered. So I decided to take care of him first. Then I found more stuff left in the room. A pill, a bag of popcorn, a paper with some notes. I am always a best western visitor but this time I am terrified. If I am not with my little one, if we were not both very tired, and if the front desk answered the phone, I would ask for another room right away for sure. Anyway, I don't even know they cleaned the bathroom. I don't know what was the things in the bag. I am sad.

Spending Christmas with my son in Monterey, but we have to stay in a hotel as he and his new wife dont have the room. I booked a King room at the BW De Anza, thinking that as this was Monterey it would be tiny fir the price, but since it was only somewhere to put our heads down, no biggy. I will start with the couple of negatives and then go on to the awesomness. Firstly, they only have parking spaces for disabled drivers, the other spaces were full and in any case so tight, a disabled person could not get out of their car. There is parking at a level down, as the building is on a steep hill, but not for disabled and in any event although there is an elevator, you need a room key to use it. Tge receptionist told me that it eould be OK to stop outside tge lobby to book in, but not without blocking the exit/enterance and I am not a rude entitled person who thiks that would be OK, I was brought up properly. She allowed me a room key to get my husbsnd and his service dog to reception. There is a very stained stool in the room, which is sad because as you can see the room is really clean and welcoming otherwise. Now for the good stuff. The lobby has glass doors and large glass windows, so as you look in, it feels like Christmas and I would not be suprised if it feels that way all year round. There is a a pond with Coy Carp next to reception, that fascinated my husbands dog as we booked in. We were offered a room for the disabled, but as they had an elevator we chose a standard room, which was on the third floor, that has bay windows and a view of tge mountains on one side. We discovered we had a suite, substantial enough to hold a party and with a fridge microwave and small oven hidden away in the cabinet, totally doable. Even our Service dog pitbulls crate is lost. The bathroom has no dirt, mold or rust even in the crevices. and the bed, oh the bed has two pads so not only is it stiff enough to support, but soft enough to sink into and snuggle up. The pillows are thick and fully supportive. Once I lay my head down, I slept for 9 hours, without waking up. I am looking firward to tonite and all of this as cheap as chips.

Wonderful hotel to stay at while visiting the Monterey/Carmel area. Room was big, comfortable & quiet. Bed comfortable & slept well every night. All the staff was friendly & helpful. Would definitely stay there again!

Friendly and helpful staff. Right next to Denny s Complimentary peets coffee, Juice, tea, and water 24hours in lobby also fruit. Comfy room heard but a few noises. Shower very low water pressure. Soap not too good.

When we are visiting family in the area and need some extra room, we stay in this hotel. It's consistently clean with very nice rooms in a convenient location. When our son was younger, he loved visiting the koi pond and eating at Denny's. The front desk staff are really outstanding - professional and kind.

Good to know, this place is next to Dennys Restaurant. Because of that sonetimes you can‘t open the window. The pool is poor. The rooms are big, clean and the bed is pretty comfortable. It‘s a 10 minutes drive to cannery row and the aquarium.

Hotel was in excellent shape. Room, bed and bath were very nice. Exterior/interior well kept. Rooms were quiet with windows closed. Windows open there was road noise. I found the fich in the lobby pool quite nice!

Had a great time, staff were wonderful. It's great hotel of great value for Monterey visit. My family has been here previously and I am glad we stop by for 3 nights this time. We took an 8 days/nights trip and this stay at this hotel is very much top in term of value overall.

So this was a last minute booking the previous hotel we booked was not like how it appeared in the website. We called Best Western and told us they could have us check in as soon as we arrived. So we drove over there and we booked the room and room was available:) just like how she said. The room was super clean and smelled good staff was friendly my only problem was the bed was to firm but other then that it was a great stay. I will be returning here again.

The staff was super helpful, the room was incredible - upgraded from hotels.com --- it was so well laid out, clean, comfortable and close to the activities we wanted to see such as the Monterey Baby Aquarium. Highly Recommended!!!

Cost of this stay was about $100 too much for a Best Western. It was out on the highway and I could see the cost if it was near the water or had a view, but it did not. When you are desperate, you stay where you can get a room however. It was a nice hotel with nice room and great amenities. I probably would not recommend it because of cost.

Location is just off Highway One on Casa Verde - convenient for checkbin, the Wharf and downtown museum as well as Fishermen's Wharf and Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had a king sized bed which also gave us a sofa bed bed sitting area and a working desk with excellent power strip.

My wife and I truly enjoyed this hotel. I couldn't believe the low price for being so close to Cannery Row. Dennys was right next door and behind us a bowling alley if you have teenagers. Free breakfast but no eggs or sausage available

Hotel was great. Stayed for one night and would not hesitate to stay again. Staff was friendly, parking free, breakfast free and room clean. Found this hotel on Trip Advisor and the reviewers were correct, this is a great hotel.

The rooms are great with comfy beds. Excellent service. the facilities were clean, and the staff was friendly. The continental breakfast is included. The location is convenient to food and services. great pricing and free Wi-Fi

We had a very nice stay here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice, clean and surprisingly roomy. The only thing missing was an air-conditioner but it wasn't necessary during our stay (and probably not necessary most times of the year). The windows were not very sound proof and we heard the airplanes passing overhead. But planes only flew during the day and there was no noise issues at night. Parking was plentiful.

The rooms are simple, adequate at best. We had sleepless nights due to the rooms not being sound proofed. The staff was super nice and helpful. Short driving distance to Canary Row and the Aquarium. Probably won't stay there again.

Nice, small property located about 3 miles from wharf. Our room was quite large with a fold out couch, refrigerator and microwave. Nice sized bathroom. Breakfast was more than adequate: make your own waffles, cereal, toast, pastries, yogurt, juice etc., microwavable burritos and breakfast sandwiches. Very nice front desk staff. They were having a jack-o-lantern contest and guests were the voting judges. Fun. Will stay again.

Everyone was wonderful. The hotel was super clean, and spacious. Parking was available and easy. We enjoyed Best Western's usual daily breakfast each morning. There are three restaurants close by, two adjacent and one half block away. Special note: The night desk clerk went out of his way to alert us that our hazard lights on our car were blinking late at night. We were not able to turn them off due to low battery and then attended to the issue with a tow service. The clerk offered for us to go to our room and he would notify us when they arrived. We declined and during the wait for the auto service the hotel clerk asked us if we needed anything. Very Kind man! we found the area comfortable for walking to the restaurant in the evening and is only a block from the street that leads you to Highway 1 for Monterey's sights. The breakfast attendant helped us with some items as well. Everyone was pleasant to deal with. I will definitely stay there again.

In a sea of very overpriced hotels in the Monterey area, this hotel is more palatable (although, IMO still too expensive). The property is located not too far off of the highway, in an area with a bunch of motels (this is, thankfully, a hotel -- the distinguishing factor for me being a hotel has doors to the rooms on an inside corridor). The parking lot seems to be a bit small, but we never had trouble finding a spot. You can't access the elevator from the lower parking lot (in the back) up to the lobby (or other floors) without a room key, so you'll need to go around the front to check in. We had a large room with 2 double/queen beds, and it was quite comfortable. It had the usual amenities plus a good sized mini-refrigerator, a small microwave, and a sitting area in the bay window. The beds and linens were comfortable, the bathroom had plenty of towels and a large sink/vanity. The walls were a little bit thin, but there wasn't enough noise to bother us at all. The free WiFi worked well, so no complaints there. The complimentary continental breakfast is served in the lobby, and there's pretty limited seating. It wasn't an issue when we were there, but I can see that during busy times it might be a challenge. There was a variety of hot and cold items, and although I didn't eat any of it, it seemed like it would be sufficient for a continental breakfast. There was a 'juice' machine (seemed more like juice-flavored drinks than actual juice), and there was a fancy coffee machine which was NOT complimentary (it required a credit card). If you prefer, there's a Keurig machine on the bathroom counter in your room. The staff was helpful and friendly, and we were pleased we were able to purchase tickets for the Monterey Bay Aquarium from the hotel, which saved us time and waiting in line at the aquarium. Speaking of fish -- there's a really shallow little tiled pool in the lobby, with a bunch of huge koi fish in it. It's beyond sad to see the fish barely able to swim in it because it's so shallow and small compared to their size. I'd really rather see that area of the lobby filled with plants or other landscaping that can enjoy the sunshine there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there and would recommend this property for those looking for a less-expensive option in the area.

Dear BethanieKay, Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experiences. We are happy to see that you had overall a good experience however I would like to correct some of the misunderstandings , we serve comp. regular coffee in the lobby only the upgraded beverages have a small convenience fee. The juice machine is dispensing 100% real orange juice but it is correct that cranberry juice is a cocktail as are the CB juices in any store as cranberry is a very sour fruit, The other two options are enhanced water with strawberry and kiwi flavor and as last filtered water which is set there for your convenience. We hope that you will stay with us again in the near future and benefit from these amazing features of our hotel. Sincerely,

Truly a great place, Staff is outstanding! If something is not working it is fixed immediately. staff is professional and helpful. Rooms are a very good size Housekeeping is excellent!! It is in a good location near towns of Monterey and Carmel.

I am a regular Best Western customer. Steer clear of this hotel. There are other Best Western options nearby. Staff were rude, the coffee set up is ridiculous, and the walls are paper thin. I travel to Monterey regularly. I will never stay hear again.

The room was spacious and quiet. We stayed 2 nights. The hotel is conveniently situated to access Monterey amenities. Continental breakfast was more than adequate, although there was limited space within the lobby in which was available. Staff were all courteous an£ helpful.

If you don't drink coffee and a constant blinking red light in your room doesn't bother you or if you like walking to Denny's for your morning coffee you might give this place a try. The weather was great

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on our way from SF to LA. Check in staff (Denise) was very helpful and even tried to text us when our room was ready. Easy to find with excellent (free) parking. Good Wifi coverage in the rooms too. Room was spacious and good storage and the bathroom was functional. Breakfast was a self service in the lobby - free but rather chaotic when busy. Not enough seating at popular times and the layout of the various items doesn't work as everyone stops everyone else from reaching what they want. Too cramped and quite noisy if busy. Otherwise a good stopping point.

This is an okay motel in a rundown part of town. The other motels in the area are of the Motel 6/rundown Mom an Pop variety. They charge the same rates other motels charge in the upscale tourist areas of Monterey. I would not book again based on poor value, but would either pay thesame rate for one of the upscale tourist venues or try the Motel 6 across the street and save the money.

They are charging 475$ during the jazz fest we used points. Rooms are nice but maybe needing some updating. Great location. Not sure about restaurants close by. Rite aid is across the street. Be careful lots of traffic.

We were surprised with no air conditioning. Front desk offered a fan and told us to open the window. We booked for two nights but only stay one night there. We could also hear the next door people talking when the window was open. Front desk staffs were very friendly but I probably would not stay there again.

Love this hotel clean comfortable staff very helpful. Close to things. Like the fish. Seems pretty secure. Wish they offered a hot breakfast. What they have is good.fruit oatmeal,cereal,toast,beagles,juice, coffee

Pulled in late at night to an unenthusiastic agent at front desk and several depressed and very large Koi fish in a very unenthusiastic tile pit at front entrance. these poor fish were in about 4 inches of water and couldnt move around. no air bubbles, no gravel, no where to hide. In the morning a child had his hand in water and these fish were at least 12inches. room was meh!

Rooms were clean, staff friendly and the breakfast was decent. The walls in this hotel are made of paper, so if its a good nights rest that you need, hope for quiet neighbors. You hear every noise from doors slamming to people talking. There is no air conditioning (it is 2017), so if its warm and you need to open windows, get as far away from Denny's as possible. Very loud Saturday night.

This hotel is very reasonably priced. It is clean (very important), no smoking and the breakfast is very good, with a nice selection. The staff is very helpful and professional. We would definitely recommend for anyone to stay here.

We arrived at the hotel and was very impressed by the spacious rooms! Great amenities. However, I was surprised that it didn't have air conditioning. Later, after doing some research, we found out that most hotels in Monterrey don't have A/C. We ended up being very comfortable with the room temperature during our sleep. (The room had a big ceiling fan for those interested.) The manager was helpful with our questions about restaurants around the area as this was our first visit.

I was surprised by the lack of air-conditioning in the rooms. The temperatures worked out to be generally okay, but to keep the room temperature okay meant opening the windows to the main road. I heard vehicles going down the road all night.

Spent one night. Room was ok but bathroom not the cleanest, found hair on the floor from previous guest. Bed uncomfortable. Staff very nice and helpful. Location is close to downtown Monterey which was convenient.

Old school decor but very clean. Probably best deal in Monterrey if you don't mind location, parking is tight like most California Hotels. Close to Aquarium and other activities without the big price.

Visiting Monterey Bay Aquarium with our Granddaughter. This was a wonderful place, friendly, clean, great breakfast, comfortable room. Overall, a great place to come and rest after playing. Service was excellent and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Loved having coffee available all the time. Thank you Best Western De Anza Inn!!!

The hotel staff were friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, and breakfast was okay. The hotel is conveniently situated in Monterey and you can get to many of the sites around it easily. We will definitely stay here again!

Really nice large room. clean and very comfortable. We found it a little bit out of town but would not put us off staying again. Helpful Staff and friendly. Breakfast was in the lobby area, not enough room really for everyone. Overall a very comfortable stay.

The rooms are quite roomy, all the mod cons you need, it also has a free continental breakfast, ( you dont get that too often). The staff were very helpful, nice clean room. Ideal for our 2 night stop over on our road trip. about 10 mins drive to Monterey front or 15 mins to Carmel

Hotel is nice, updated, and very clean. The staff is so nice, friendly, and helpful. Rooms are a good size, well organized, clean, and comfortable. The location is good and close to restaurants/stores. Very happy with our stay here.

Hotel was great, about 3.5 Millie's from aquiriam but leaving aquiriam to get back to hotel at 4:30 traffic was so bad took us 40mins to get back. We also stayed in rm 102 and hallway was very noisy you can hear everything from inside room. Everything else was great, especially being so close to restaraunts & cvs.

Dear Padilla A, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am sorry to hear about the traffic and the noise. Our city is very beautiful but also very crowded this time of the year. I am glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay including the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Please feel free to contact us if you'll need any further assistance in regards to your future reservations. Warm Regards,

It's a nice hotel with friendly staff. Room was clean and large. It's expensive but any less won't get you much in Monterrey. The location is an easy drive into town or a 15 minute drive to the infield at Laguna Seca. The Jacuzzi was clean but could have been warmer. And the pool area is right on a major street. As I said, basic.

Excellent reception and hospitality from the desk clerk on duty, we were stranded at 9:pm with no room, we used a booking company that we were advised they booked a room at this Best Western for us, we gave them our credit card number to reserve the room, when we arrived we did not have a reservation, the desk clerk assisted us with contacting this company and demanding the charge be taken off, we contacted our credit card company also, after a stressful couple of hours the clerk checked us into on of the last two room available, I just cannot compliment enough the outstanding service this Best Western Clerk provided.

This is a great hotel to stay at when on the Central Coast. It is close to all of the sites in Monterey. It is very quiet and the rooms are large. The beds are comfy. We stayed with our children and added a roll-away bed. There was still plenty of room to move around. It was nice to be able to go to the beach and see the sites without the expense of some of the other hotels.

Dear Lynn S, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly thrilled with your review. As we strive to serve at highest level it is always an amazing feeling to see that back in the reviews of valuable guests like you. Thank you for mentioning that we are at a close distance to major attractions in Monterey. Some of those attractions are Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman's Warf, The Dunes on Seaside and the beautiful Carmel-By-The-Sea. Thank you again and we hope to see you back soon at our property. Sincerely,

Guests a couple of doors down and across the hall were making lots of noise in the halls, going up and down the stairs repeatedly, in the parking lot, M-F fights, making numerous short trips in their cars, setting off car alarms, yelling obscenities, general yelling. All of this ocurred between 11PM and 4 AM and the front desk night manager did absolutely nothing. They should have been kicked out. I got very little sleep, most of it between 11PM and 12AM. The rooms were larege and nicely kept, the koi pond in the breakfast arera is nice. The hoterl has potential if they can find the right staff.

When we arrived at the hotel the exterior was nice, but we laughed at the size of the pool, much smaller than the picture. The spa wasn't working. Our room was nice and clean thought the tv was small. The employees were friendly. Had no central A.C. You could order a fan to your room. Probably wouldn't stay again.

We come down every year for a golf trip and always stayed at a chain down the block. NO MORE... BW De Anza was so much nice, more modern and very comfortable. Rooms were big and clean. This hotel had everything you would need when in Monterey. This hotel is easy to get to and minutes away from the Wharf if you decide to go..

We stayed here for the Monterey Pop festival & the location was great - 5 min walk to the Fairgrounds. Everything else about the hotel was average. Was pretty disappointed by a sad looking tiny pool (if you can even call it that). Not sure what's going on with the fish in the tiny pond in the lobby. It's obviously way too small for the fish. Sad to look at. For some reason there was a charge for parking as well, though the staff waived it after we expressed discontent of not being aware of the paid parking.

Located near the airport and on a busy street. Has no a/c and was a very warm day so had to leave windows open otherwise it was too hot. Lot's of people out walking by talking loudly until well past midnight. One mattress was lopsided and in terrible shape.

Clean hotel with adequate amenities and limited but adequate breakfast. Rooms are very large and so are the bathrooms. In a great central location and next door to the Monterey Cookhouse restaurant which has great staff and owner...very personable. Nice to just walk over to at the end of the day. Food was fantastic...we ate there both nights because it was so good !! Would return to here in the future as was really good price for the area.

Just for a night. Very clean, service people like their jobs, everyone was kind and courteous. It´s what it is, when you stay in a BW. You know what you get. Staying there is almost a good experience. No surprise in both directions - good or bad. Thats what we want.

Huge clean room, lovely helpful staff. Just a few minutes drive to Cannery Row and the Aquarium. Breakfast was fine, there were sandwiches that could be microsaved along with the usual items. Our parking was free so not sure what the other reviewer waas talking about. Would recommend.

Dear SNG56, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that our staff and the cleanliness of our rooms have impressed you.

Please feel free to ask the front desk the next time you stay with us. We hope to see you back soon. Warm regards,

The rooms are spacious, nicely appointed and sparking clean. The front desk is incredibly friendly and helpful. Parking is a few dollars more, but conveniently located. The included breakfast is generous and varied. Be aware that when they're busy, they sometimes temporarily run out of various items. And, seating is somewhat limited. (Seating is not NEAR the lobby but rather IS the lobby.)

The hotel may be a little bit hard to find, but it may be the best value in the city with free WIFI, breakfast, and parking at a very reasonable price. The room is clean and big enough for family with 2 adults and 2 kids. The location is also close to all attractions.

Nice room (altho a strange sort of antiseptic smell that dissipated when we opened the window), convenient location and very nice people, clean, comfortable bed and working TV but a few things that we were surprised at. No air conditioning in the rooms so you have no choice but to open the window. We faced the street and were right on the street, a very busy street. Quite noisy pretty much all day/evening. The swimming pool is right on the sidewalk, no privacy. To top it off, we were under the flight path of Monterey's airport. Not a terribly busy airport but it sure did add to the traffic noise. Great breakfast. Adequate parking. I don't think we'd stay here again because of the noise.

Heads up, the sign out front now just says Best Western, so we missed it the first time by, even though we knew it was in the area. Also, there is an $8/day parking fee that just started in May. Location is good, easy access to downtown or Highway 1 to go other places. Rooms are comfortable, with some windows that can be opened to allow in fresh air. If you run cool while sleeping, you may want to ask if an extra blanket is available at check-in.

Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Large room with two queen beds and large bathroom. Free wifi, refrigerator. The breakfast was minimal. They didn't have eggs but they did have microwavable egg/sausage muffins which is a first I have seen. I did not eat them but they were in the refrigerator with the yogurt. This was close to Monterey Aquarium where we were going and fishermen's wharf.

Trip to Lake Tahoe & Monterey/Carmel one of about 6 trips we will take this year. loved the BW but feel as senior and AAA travelers we did not get the best rate. A couple that requested a rate for the same night at the front desk was quoted $9 less then we paid booking through BW with a senior or AAA rate?

Overall stay was good. Friendly staff, clean, nice lobby and typical continental breakfast (fruit, yougart, store bought muffins). We stayed on first floor near lobby. Walls were paper thin and you could hear everythng, oeople talking, walking, windows didn't provide much sound protection either. Flushing toilet and running faucet were super loud. If you are sensitive to sound and looking for something quiet this may not be for you. neighboorhod a little sketchy with adultbbook store arcoss the street. We couldn't figure it heater so was colder than I would like. But we didnt bother asking for help as we got in late. The water pressure in shower fairly week and water didnt heat up past luke warm.

This hotel is about 10 minutes drive to the Monterey Wharf outside the main tourist area though there were lots of other hotels/motels on the street. It looks like it was built or renovated recently. Lobby area was very nice - breakfast was tasty and sufficient. Loved the koi pond. Rooms were very generously sized, clean and well appointed. Nice pool. Very nice and helpful staff.

The facility is extremely clean and attractive. The staff friendly, helpful and personal. The location is central to all attractions in the area as well as regular home-town places. The price makes it affordable for families, although the weekends are much higher than weekdays. I only wish the hot tub was open till 10:00. It and the pool closes at 9:00 pm.

This is a clean, well kept Best Western within a short distance of the wharfs and other nice areas. It is about 2 miles from the main wharf. The staff is very friendly and the room was nice and comfortable. The only serious issue is the breakfast area! It is 4-5 tables stuffed into the lobby. It is always packed and LOUD. The food is ok buffet food with the usual items. You will be happy here ....just eat breakfast and the Denny's next door.

Tired from traveling all day, we were greeted by a friendly, efficient young man who upgraded us to a suite. It was a wonderful room! The room was clean, large and had everything we needed. The hotel is conveniently located and parking is easy. They have an elevator which makes parking in the back easy. They offer a breakfast. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Please feel free to contact us if you need any assistance regarding reservations at +1 831 646 8300. Warm regards

Having stayed at the De Anza many times over several years, I highly recommend it for its convenience and the quality of the rooms and staff. It is quiet and has easy access(centrally located for the average traveler) to all of the Monterey Peninsula (which can be confusing to navigate).

Dear jackrF640EI, Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences from your recent stay at our property. Your business is very important to us and we value your feedback. By telling us what you liked about your stay and how we can improve, you are helping us deliver a superior experience for you and other guests in the future. We hope you will come back and see us again soon. If I can be of assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me at 1-831-646-8300 or 1-800-858-8775. Thank you again for taking the time to write your review. Sincerely,

Your staff always goes beyond their normal duties to help us have a pleasant stay. They are not like the major hotels who only do things when asked. We have stayed at Conrad, HIlton, Sheraton, Marriott, Portola Double Tree etc and your personnel staffing although smaller than the big chains are friendlier and much more helpful. We will be back for our future conferences and pleasure.

This Best Western was quite modern looking and the rooms seemed nice and large. The king bed rooms which we in our group had were very big (with one exception) and the roomy feel was quite appreciated. There are some rooms nearer the elevator that are smaller square footage so try to get one near either end. The room was quite clean and the bathroom was also large and clean. Overall we had a good experience, mostly from the nice rooms and the wonderful woman who checked us out in the morning. This was in contrast to the not so nice experience with the gentleman who checked us in. I will just leave it that he did not attend the school where you learn to treat the customer like a customer. Maybe he was having a bad day. The breakfast in the small breakfast area was really quite good and had a number of very good choices - well above what I am used to with Hampton Inns. There were hard boiled eggs, waffles, yogurts, fruits, cereals, bagels, toast, and pre-wrapped egg/sausage sandwhichs to heat up in the microwave. I was quite impressed with the overall selection. Next to the breakfast area and elevator was a business station area where you could use the internet or print boarding passes. There is plenty of free parking down below and it is easy access to Fremont Street and off/onto the freeway. The only drawback is there is really only a Denny's in walking distance. We however did order Pizza from a great place with free delivery. The value is well worth it - no wonder it ranks quite high in Trip Advisor!

Excellent choice!! Comfort, value, and great location make the DeAnza a travelers dream. The staff is friendly and sees to your needs. Our son graduated from CSUMB and now lives in Monterey...it's our home away from home! :)

We had a group of people in town for a conference. The manager Cecile did a great job helping us with our group reservations and also providing a meeting space (which she did without us asking). It was helpful to have a hot breakfast available and everyone in the group was satisfied with the motel. We will go back again. There are fancier places but for us the price was right.

Clean comfortable rooms. Free parking. Small breakfast area and small selection but that got us going. Hotel not walkable distance to cannery row. Rooms facing road have noise, back rooms r quiet. No a/c but windows open fully. (That adds to the road noise if facing road)

The staff and the room were marvelous. The "fishy" refers to the big Koi pond in the lobby. I stayed in two different rooms during my stay (king and handicapped) and both were large and well appointed. Hotel is close to everything, parking was ample. Breakfast choices were a little light, but I will stay here again, when I return to Monterey.

Good beds. Solid wifi. Friendly staff. Located a few blocks from the Pacific Coast Highway, it is near shopping and restaurants. The breakfast is average and the views aren't spectacular. But the value, comfort and service are great.

Clean large rooms, located on busy road but the price and helpful staff make up for that. Not in central Monterey but only 10 minutes by car easy ride. No air condition but windows open and ceiling fan do a good job. Clean small pool and hot tub with good jets across the parking lot (10 steps) from hotel. Good quality breakfast of Best Western variety Only concern is if you like large fluffy pillows, you may want to ask for an extra pillow since these were smallish and flat.

My family and I decided on a last minute trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last week so I searched and searched for the perfect hotel for my husband, 2 small children and for myself to stay two nights where we would not be afraid to turn off the lights for fear of some critter crawling around our heads at night. We arrived to the hotel in the evening and were politely and promptly greeted by the receptionist at the check in counter. The lobby was bright and airy with a fish pond at the corner which the children were amused to see. It also brought a sense of zen-type tranquility to the atmosphere. The lady at the check-in counter offered 2 day tickets that are sold to patrons at the hotel..which I had to refuse because I had purchased tickets through the company I work for....bummer.... She checked us in, gave us the key card to the room on the 2nd floor. As we entered the room we quickly noticed how clean everything was from the ceiling fan (more on that later) to the carpet(more on that too). bed linens were clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and even though it had only one sink there was ample room to maneuver if there was more than 1 person in there with you. The mirror did not fog up when I took a shower either and that was a plus. So about the ceiling fan. There is no air conditioner in the rooms in the hotel. There are ceiling fans. The weather did not call for air conditioner, the ceiling fan was sufficient to circulate the air in the room and we kept the windows, which has full functioning screens, open in the day and closed at night. The room didn't feel stuffy but if it were over 85 degrees outside I could see it being an issue if someone is not use to the heat and have to be in a room with no air conditioner. Fortunately for me and my family that was not the issue as the weather was in the 60's those days. So moving on to the carpet. It was so clean that I could walk barefoot and not be afraid that I would catch strange skin infection. I let my 1 year old walk in her socks and they didn't turn into black sole socks at the end of the day...so it passed the carpet test. Breakfast time was a money saver, you can get breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, bagels, waffle, fruit, coffee orange or apple juice, milk, cereal, oatmeal, fresh hard boiled eggs. so if you are use to a quick filling bite in the morning I would suggest that you take advantage of the small breakfast buffet that comes with your hotel stay even for the day you check out. I would definitely stay at this hotel again in the future. It's not the closest to cannery road, it's about a quick 10 minute scenic drive but worth the amount because of the cleanliness, the child/family friendliness, and the great hostess that greets you at check in and the employees that look like they like their jobs and are happy to make your stay a little better by going that extra mile.

This was a very clean facility with the friendliest staff I have encountered in quite some time. Although the views were not spectacular, it was convenient to NPS and numerous restaurants. The layout was very nice and the facility was clean and inviting. The complementary breakfast had a great selection that even included fresh waffles. Not only was it a nice breakfast, but everything was neat and organized with room for multiple people to prepare food at the same time. Highly recommend staying here.

I was totally impressed with this hotel. The room was very spacious. Also, the bathroom was spacious with a nice very long counter to put out everything you needed without getting it wet. The staff was exceptional. They went the extra mile to help with any information that you needed along with being so personable and friendly. We were so very comfortable at this hotel. I know some reviewers talked about air conditioning. However, it never was too hot for us to need it. Also, the housekeeping staff does a fantastic job. This is now our go-to hotel when we are in Monterey.

This is the best hotel. I have stayed here 3 times and every time it is perfect. The hotel is very close to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the wharf, and Cannery Row. It is in the middle of Carmel and Salines. It is located right next to a Denny's and other excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Thank you for your "Perfect Vacation" review and top rating of our property. As you mentioned, we are centrally located and just a short drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Much better than expected. Spent 9 nights on a vacation trip to Monterey and Carmel. The room was much larger than expected with a bay window, arm chair with ottoman, upholstered bench and a sofa, as well as a king bed. There were multiple outlets in the room (although the one in the bathroom only accepted polarized plugs so electric toothbrushes had to be plugged in on the desk.) The complementary breakfast was very well-appointed with waffles, breakfast sandwiches, a variety of hot and cold cereals yogurt and other options. The hotel itself isn't new but appears to have been recently renovated so the interior of both the public spaces and the guest rooms feel modern, clean and well-maintained. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional, exceeding service I've received at hotels charging 2 or 3 times the price.

I stayed with my family for 1 night on our tour around California. We had 2 rooms which were clean & spacious. The staff were very helpful, particularly with advised on tickets for the Aquarium. There are restaurants nearby but it is a couple of miles away from the main area. Breakfast is included & there was a good selection but very little seating & we ended up standing in the reception area to eat.

A lesser known legacy of the famous explorer Juan Bautista de Anza, is this rather nice hotel named in his memory. We spent one night at the De Anza Inn and it was a very pleasant one. We received a warm and friendly welcome, check in was quick and staff were very helpful. We had a King Bed Suite, which was massive and we all slept very well. It was on the bottom floor and very quiet. There was a spacious lounge with a Murphy bed for the kids and “breakfast nook” which would be considered a decent sized kitchen by many. The suite wasn't modern and it was a little tired in places, but clean and very comfortable. The location is convenient, right off Highway 1, but you will likely need to drive or take a taxi to downtown, Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquarium etc. Having said that, I will not recommend a taxi in this town because they appear to be driven but absolute lunatics and I have serious reservations concerning the sobriety of the drivers. The complimentary breakfast looked good although we didn't partake because it was quite busy, so we chose to live it up at Denny's right next door. The outdoor pool was freezing, but that didn't discourage our children. This was our first time in Monterey so we don't have any points of reference when it comes to accommodation, but I would definitely stay at the De Anza Inn next time we are in town.

1. Pretty big well lighted rooms with well maintained clean beds and bathroom 2. Sleep quality is very good with almost zero noise and no light coming trough the curtains. 3. There is a ceiling fan in the room which I found to be very useful in case you don't want to put the A/C on. 4. the breakfast spread was impressive. From breads, to cereals, to bagels to muffins to yogurt they had it all. Only the breakfast area is very small and sometimes you'll have to stand and eat during peak hours. There are Dennys and other restaurants adjacent to the hotel. Lots of options in walking distance. 5. There is no view of the ocean though and you're around 2miles far from it when you're staying here.

Complimentary breakfast was great. Staff was friendly, but hotel is basic and dated. A bit pricey for the quality, probably because it's a labor day long weekend. May look for another higher end hotel and pay a bit more extra next time.

Stayed at this hotel over Labor Day weekend for a wedding. Friendly staff, daily breakfast included and QUIET. Slept with the windows open each night.

Loved having the microwave and refrigerator. Hotel is kept up very well and is in a good location in Monterey to get to everywhere quickly. Guests could walk from the hotel to the fairgrounds for the Jazz Festival. Highly recommended.

We had a very nice stay here. This is an older property but very clean and well maintained. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, Maria and Denise. Denise was very patient and helpful with my reservation. The rooms are quite large and ours had a nice bay window. The breakfast was adequate. The hotel is about a mile from the wharf area. We also bought tickets to the aquarium at the front desk at a discount. Thank you for a nice stay! A family from Michigan.

My family are regular Best Western customers. One of the reasons why we selected this property is that it has a heated pool. We were very disappointed to learn the pool was not heated during our entire stay. I mentioned this to the hotel staff and they were surprised that it was not heated and said it was beyond their control since their pool service maintained the pool. I was also surprised to learn the hotel does not have air conditioning. Since there were local fires we had smoke in our room, which added for an unpleasant stay having the need to have our window open for circulation. If they had AC we could have controlled the amount of smoke coming into the room from the window. This is the first Best Western I stayed in that did not have AC. I was also disappointed that the breakfast was in the lobby and in such a tight area with everyone bumping into each other. May I suggest converting one of the downstairs room into a breakfast room.

I am sorry you did not completley enjoy your stay. I apologize the pool was not heated the first day of your two night stay. I appreciate your bringing the issue to the attention of the front desk as the heater had been turned of briefly for repair and they notified maintenance. Please note only one third of all properties on the Monterey Peninsula have air conditioning. Of the 8 Best Western properties only 2 have it.

We stayed here in August 2016. The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly. Our room was huge. The breakfast was well stocked and tasty. Our room was right by the breakfast area but we never heard a thing, the rooms are very quiet. The hotel was close to all the attractions and was a great price for Monterey. We will definitely stay here again.

We only spent one night here on a California road trip and left early the next morning but the hotel is clean, comfortable and good value. The building is the nicest of the many Best Westerns we stayed in - more hotel than motel - the reception has a pond with koi carp. My wife and two daughters shared a room with two queen beds. It was at the front of the hotel facing the road but passing traffic did not bother us. The surrounding area is just more hotels and a few restaurants, so not 'scenic' in any way. Opposite the hotel, across the freeway are signs for an adult bookshop and 'theatre' but overall the area does not feel sleazy. It is close to the sights of Monterey and nearby Carmel. Fine for a place to lay your head while passing through or spending the days out and about.

There was a very bad odor on the whole floor. The parking lot was very noisy, which is a problem since there is no A/C so the only way to get any cool air is to open the windows. The paint was bubbling up in the shower, indicating probable mold issues under the paint. One of the bubbles on the ceiling was about the size of my hand. Also the breakfast area is very tiny and during breakfast the staff wheels large carts of dirty laundry and garbage through where guests eat, which is already very crowded. Very poor execution of service. Seems like they are more concerned with being able to say that they offer breakfast rather than how they actually perform such an amenity.

We were on a trip from LA to San Francisco and stayed at the De Anza. I wish we hadn't! We chose the hotel for the pool but were told it was closed because of the chemical change. We were told it would open the next day but it didn't. I didn't see any cleaning activity around the pool at all. The staff were unhelpful and breakfast was awful. I am judging this Best Western against the Best Western The Pepper Tree Inn Santa Barbara where we had stayed the two nights previously. A wonderful little gem with amazingly friendly staff.

bwdeanza, General Manager at BEST WESTERN De Anza Inn, responded to this review
I am sorry you didn't enjoy you stay and the pool was not available. We had an issue that required a chemical solution that took overnight to resolve.

I chose this hotel for a four day stay on a trip to San Francisco and Monterey. The room was wonderful, large and clean. The staff were very friendly. One of the best hotels I've stayed in with Best Western. We hated the thought of leaving this hotel for the tiny room we had in San Francisco for a lot more money! Highly recommended. This is where we will stay on our next trip to Monterey.

We chose the hotel as part of our Highway One drive, and near the 17 mile drive. We arrived rather tired after a very slow drive, due to major traffic jams (post accident). We received very warm welcome. The hotel looks fairly new, and is an interesting design, ie not just a big boring 'box'. our room was immaculate and large. It had a lovely view over houses - but not quite to the ocean. Very quiet. Breakfast was OK rather than special, but being small there was a nice friendly atmosphere. We had two very comfortable nights at the hotel, and would highly recommend it

The hotel was on a busy street (business 1), so it's somewhat noisy. (Not too bad after closing the window.) The main parking was in the rear and was small, and not on a flat surface. I was being challenged driving out as the exit was narrow. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their fruit supplier was great--the orange in the lobby was delicious.

This was my first stay at a Best Western Hotel and if the others are of the same quality, then I will always try to stay at a Best Western. The rooms were from what I could tell soundproof, comfortable, clean, with a nice sized bath, a refrigerator, coffee maker, and came with a delicious continental breakfast. A great value. A customer could not ask for anything more for the price. I will definitely stay at Best Westerns in the future.

Thank you for your "Tremendous" review and top rating of our property. We are grateful you took the time to post your comments and appreciate your loyalty to the Best Western brand.

We took our family, 2 adults and 3 kids aged 6, 5, and 1. We usually stay at BW because they are consistent and on the budget end of the mid-range hotel chains. The location is good for easy access to CA-1, downtown Monterey, and Cannery Row. We also made it over to Carmel in about 10-15 and to Salinas in about 20-25. It felt like a safe, family-friendly area, with a bowling alley and restaurants next door. It's obviously not a high-end hotel and I think reviewers who expect that at this price point are being quite unfair. It IS however very pleasant, clean, and a great value, meaning you get extras above your standard room including: free wifi which worked well, a complimentary continental breakfast that was not exactly fantastic but very solid (sandwiches, waffles, breads), free parking, and a small pool and spa for a little something extra to do. There is no guest laundry and no restrooms in the lobby/ breakfast area, which for me would have really made the "extras" complete. There is a nice koi pond which is also above and beyond your standard BW. The staff was attentive and very friendly and helpful.

The rooms deserve a 4/5 stars because of the following: Lack of available outlets - especially next to beds. Room(s) are dated, but are good enough. The tv screen is fine in terms of placement and picture quality. Hooked up an iOS device using hdmi and it looked like Just fine. The cable was the sluggish part.

This small hotel is fine for a one night stay. It's located on the main drag of Monterey (not on the peninsula near the water). There is off street parking and a small pool. The rooms are sparsely furnished with the bare necessities (no pen/pad). The complimentary breakfast was more than adequate with yogurt, cereal, wrapped breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, bread, waffle maker, fruit, juice and coffee. The staff is very nice.

Thank you for your recent review of our property. I am sorry you were unable to locate the pen/pad located in the nightstand drawer near the phone. Please note each room has a guest directory and hardcover visitors guide. In addition, all rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, microwave and safe. I did appreciate your comments regarding the complimentary breakfast offered.

I was not impressed from this hotel. If you are in a room facing the road you have noi from the road. Rooms close to the elevators experience noise from the ice machine and from children yelling at Breakfast in 7 am. Toilet is somewhat depressing with tired stream from the shower and other issues. We payed ave 180 night (tax included) and felt it was expensive.

The Best Western De Anza was very clean, the staff very helpful. Everything was perfect. The only suggestion I might make is for them to install AC in the rooms as it was very warm the day I was there.

Stayed here for Cali Roots over Memorial Day weekend. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Love a smoke free hotel. They had a nice complimentary breakfast with the usual hotel fare - waffle maker, yogurt, pastries, cereal. Nice addition were the breakfast sandwiches you could microwave (egg, cheese & sausage and egg and cheese). Front desk staff were lovely and so accommodating. I had a few conversations with them leading up to our stay and every time they took such great care. If you're heading to the fair grounds you are just blocks away, a nice short walk. My only complaint was the koi pond in the lobby. I'm sure they have someone caring for the fish but given the size and shallow water, fish fins were sticking out above water and it just made me feel sad to see them in such a small space. A tide pool would make more sense to me given the location and I'm sure they just want the lobby to look nice but really, it just left me depressed seeing the fish swim in small circles.

Cleanliness and pleasant décor obviously a priority at this hotel. Comfortable bed and quiet night; windows that open and ceiling fans an option vs. AC. The interior and grounds of this Hotel are immaculate. Internet service without problems. this is one of the better BWs we've experienced. Spacious rooms nicely appointed.

I stay here every year on my annual trip to Monterey for a horse show. The hotel is convenient located for me to the fairgrounds. It's clean, nice staff, consistent. My only reasons for the 3 star review is that I can't bring my perfectly well mannered dog to the room and that the rooms aren't air conditioned. Thankfully, I can find other accommodations for my dog at the fairgrounds. And I also visit in April so it's not terribly hot. This year, however, it was warm and I really wanted to be able to turn on the air. That being said, I will probably continue to stay here as long as the horse show continues.

Easy access to everything in the Monterey area. Exceptional staff and very nice rooms. A good value. Only a slight amount of traffic noise was the only negative. Very family friendly hotel as well. My grandkids especially enjoyed the koi pond in the lobby.

In town for a wedding and decided on economical lodging (by Monterey standards). Crossed my fingers on this one because you know how sometimes 'economical' can turn into your new travel horror story. No fear here: this hotel served up a big, clean room, a nice little breakfast area and plenty of parking. A short 10 min drive brings you to the Aquarium, Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf. However what really prompted me to write this review was the customer service, which was stellar. The front desk staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and the cleaning staff was great too. To top it off, my travelling buddy (who will remain nameless) forget her phone charger in the room. I got a phone call within hours of leaving the room to see if we could come pick it up. Alas we were almost on the plane home so they shipped it to us, gratis! Now, I live in San Diego so I might not expect the free shipping if I lived far away but wow that was really a nice touch. Will definitely stay here on the next trip to Monterey.

We stayed just one night in order to break a long car trip into two shorter segments. The location was good, and the hotel itself was clean. The staff was helpful, and the restaurant next door was really good, and so close we just walked over. Most of the parking was located behind the hotel, off the street and seemed safe and well maintained. The driveway to exit was a little narrow, so I wouldn't suggest really large trucks or vans, and there was no place to park a camper or trailer.

I had requested a quite room on the third floor and it was excellent, away from the elevator and very quiet. The breakfast has a lot to be desired for the price paid for the room. Staff could at least serve scrambled eggs and some bacon or sausage to go with it. The time to wait for a cooked waffle is a joke. there needs to be an additional waffle grille.

Thank you for your review and 4 out of 5 rating for our property. Unfortunately, we do not have kitchen facilities and this limits what products we can offer for the complimentary breakfast. I am sorry you did not enjoy any of the breakfast sandwiches offered and there was a wait to make a waffle. Please note breakfast is available for 3 hours and trays are provided.

I must began this review with a shoutout for front desk clerk, Myra. What a smile and pleasing personality. She is very employers dream employee. Now on to the hotel, our room was a very large room located at the back of the hotel. You want that because they do not have AC. Open the windows to allow for cooling ocean breeze to enter the room and you will be set for the evening. The room was clean and had all that we needed for a hotel stay. It is also located very near North or South Hy 1. Free breakfast which is enough to get your day started.

The staff was so helpful and the breakfast was great! They had waffles and breakfast sandwiches (never had that before at a hotel). Convenient location and great value and they even had a koi pond in the lobby! I'd stay here again.

Stayed at Best Western De Anza for 4 nights. Room:The room was very spacious. Had windows on 2 sides, a little sitting area, a huge bed, fridge, microwave, tv. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. I liked the place and it was cosy. Reception: Everyone at the reception was always very polite and friendly. My compliments. Breakfast: There was free breakfast served. It had coffee, porridge, fruits, sandwiches, cereal, water, apple and orange juices, muffins, waffle maker. Enough to get you started for the day. Location: About 10 minutes drive from Cannery Row. Considering the free parking and the price, a good location. Overall: I was very pleased with staying here. Friendly staff, great room and easy access to Monterey's highlights.

My little family of three took a trip to Monterey and stayed here. This hotel is nicely located and seemed to be in the middle of everything. It was a short drive to Sand City, Carmel, and the Aquarium. The free breakfast was great! Better than your average. It comes with a waffle maker and breakfast sandwiches. The only con-- the pull out sofa bed. It was hard as a rock! Definitely for little kids because only one adult could fit on it. Just something to think about when you're booking!

The stay was very nice until I was awakened by my extremely amorous neighbors who seemed to forget they weren't at a zoo exhibit. The walls were too thin. The shower head had to be pulled very hard (it felt like it was going to break) before the water would come out. There should've been printed instructions on how to use it. The staff was very courteous and accommodating.

I always try to stay there when in the area. This hotel is very clean. Check in is great. Asked for wine glasses and blanket and got them, promptly. They only have thin blankets on the bed. Beds are still very comfortable. However, there is no way to regulate the heater. Room temperature is very cold at night without heater. Drapes are torn! No hard boiled eggs or protein for breakfast. Low cost carbs!

Upon arrival I was treated by the general manager like some sort of criminal since I wished to pay cash for my stay. She insisted that I pay for my stay up front even after giving her an active credit card. Next time I will stay at the Hilton instead. This was my first visit to this yearly convention and it won't be my last, just my last one here. The rest of the staff, especially the weekend staff and housekeeping were especially helpful.

Let me start from the beginning. You arrived at the property to check-in and unfortunately the credit card you presented for payment could not be authorized for the amount of your stay. You told me you would like to pay cash at check-out. I explained our policy and said to you that payment must be secured and allowed you to pay cash at check-in for your stay. I also told you that I was making an exception because a valid credit card, one that was not declined was necessary to check-in. I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable as that was not my intent.

Stayed here three days. ,has one spot on property for handicapped ,has parking in rear but elevator out entire stay ,all veending on second floor ,satires at end of building, was not advised of problems before arrival as they should have. We would have changed locations ,breakfast poor , waffles,sandwiches ,small area to eat , full of kids most days . Floors need cleaned with steam had to walk around building to get to car, noisy all mornings,I hope working on elevator, but lots of noise Up date on checking out they gave a discount of one day for all of problems ,said would be mid February for elevator to be repaired since had to replace entire elevator

We offered our help at check-in with the ice and vending machines, however you never came to the front desk which is staffed 24 hours. As you mentioned, I apologized to you at check-out and adjusted your bill for the inconvenience.

I found the Best Western De Anza Inn using Tripadvisor and what a great find it was!! Not looking to spend a ton of money but wanting something nice and clean, this is the place. My wife and I stayed for 2 weeks to help with our daughters newborn and were never disappointed. The room was clean and comfortable. And as an extra bonus the staff throughout the facility is exceptional. Just genuinely nice people. Location is also excellent, not to far from anything. You also get a nice complimentary breakfast and free WiFi in your room. I'll be back, that's a promise.

I stayed at the Best Western De Anza Inn and was totally delighted with every aspect! I found it to be a lovely sanctuary conveniently located on North Fremont Street in Monterey. Check in was easy and the two women at the front desk were friendly and very helpful. I loved all of the beautiful koi in the pond next to the check in desk. I also liked the hot tub and pool. The room was surprisingly large and beautifully decorated in gold. The bed was comfortable and the room airy and light. It was great to have a good-sized refrigeratore and microwave. It was also very quiet and relaxing! Breakfast was terrific and I was so pleased that they offered egg (protein) sandwiches along with waffles, bagels, fruit, coffee and more.

We enjoyed our stay at the DeAnza Inn. We were attending a wedding. We had a one night stay. On arrival we learned the elevator was out of order. With a recent knee surgery this was not a good situation. The front desk clerk immediately tried to take care of us, and she gave us 10% off our room cost.

The Hotel itself is great the rooms are spacious and comfortable, so are the beds. Very courteous staff excellent service. The only problem I found is with the heating system which does not have automatic turn on and off feature and the room get too warm even at the 1 setting, but turning it off it gets too cold after a while (December) So I had to get up every 2 hours at night to turn the heating on and off.

We could not be more impressed with her genuine heart - what a wonderful person. Danielle in the buffet area is a sweetheart too! She is friendly, keeps the buffet area spotless and filled with goodies and is interested in you as a person.

Nice clean comfortable room, staff was friendly, nothing outstanding about this motel. Relatively close to Cannery Row, maybe a mile away, no view, closest place to eat was a Dennys. I would probably not go back.

Thank you for your recent review of our property. I appreciated your comments regarding the clean comfortable room and friendly staff. As you mentioned, we are in close proximity to local attractions and most guests appreciate our great value as compared to properties in the city center. I am sorry you were not made aware of the eight restaurants within walking distance featuring Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mediterranean-French and Festive American cuisine.

I was impressed by the service. We left our portable DVD player behind and were called the day we checked out. Unfortunately we were home by the time we picked up the voicemail. The hotel mailed it to us Priority mail, protecting it with bubble wrap AND insurance at no additional charge. That is good business!

This is an excellent hotel that won't break the bank. The rooms are very large and the staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is OK... not great, but not bad. Get a top floor room and you'll have a high, vaulted ceiling.

Thank you for your complimentary review and 5 out of 5 rating of our property. As you mentioned, we are a great value especially during the off peak season. Your consideration was appreciated.

The rooms are large, pleasant, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. They also have everything you might need (fridge, microwave, ironing board, etc.) The staff are always pleasant and helpful. (You can enter the hotel lot from only one direction on Fremont street but once you are acquainted with the traffic flow, it is easy and no problem at all). The breakfast area is small, but I always take mine back to the room so that has never been an issue with me. What stands out for me are how large and how clean the rooms are.

Staff was polite and helpful. The hotel had a gluten free cereal for breakfast which I appreciated. The rooms were large and clean. Great location, easy travel to Cannery Row and other attractions. I would stay at this hotel again.

Thank you for your "Wonderful Hotel" review and 5 out of 5 rating of our property. Your concise comments and recommendation were greatly appreciated.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for three nights. We had a lovely, large corner room with air conditioning, a comfortable king sized bed and a clean bathroom. The hotel's lobby was large, modern and had a nice fountain with colorful carp fish that DID NOT smell (despite what another reviewer suggested). The breakfast selections were excellent and included pre-made breakfast sandwiches (i.e., egg, sausage, cheese & bagel) that could be heated up in the microwave. They were scrumptious! The hotel's staff could not have been more friendly and very helpful. We definitely recommend this hotel to our fellow travelers!

Thank you very much for your complimentary review and top rating of our property. Your consideration and recommendation of the De Anza Inn is greatly appreciated. We understand every guests experience is different, however, we make every effort to make each guests stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Thank you again for taking the time to post your comments.

Our room was a corner location with windows on two sides. That was fortunate, because there was no air conditioning in the hotel. By opening all the windows we could catch a cross breeze that eventually cooled the room and made it comfortable. Location is convenient to Hwy 101 so access to everything was easy. Bad luck, the power all along the coast went down at dawn the next morning and was not restored until 11pm that night. Not the hotel's fault, of course...

Staff was helpful and professional, room and bathroom was large and clean, bed was comfortable, breakfast had a good variety and available for 3 hours. Only issue was the internet connection kept cutting out. I would stay there again.

Thank you for your complimentary review and 4 out of 5 rating of our property. I was pleased to know you enjoyed your stay and would stay with us in the future. I wish you safe travels.

I made a reservation here for my wife's birthday and we started with 1 room and then we decided to take our Grandson and Daughter, now we are at two rooms. Well before you know it is a week before our trip and we need another room. The staff went all out to get us another room and we had a wonderful stay. The hotel was very well kept and the staff is great. It's a couple of miles from cannery row but well worth the short drive. I will stay there again.

Thank you for your complimentary review and 4 out of 5 rating of our property. I was pleased to know and your family enjoyed your stay. I appreciated your comments regarding the helpfulness of the staff and the well kept condition of the hotel.

Due to a widespread power outage, we were unable to stay the 2 nights we had planned. We used the family suite and it was fine for us and our daughter and son in law and granddaughter. We were a bit disappointed, the room had a bit of a smell to it, the decor was a bit outdated. But that said, it was a nice set up for us. We enjoyed being in the same room-yet having separate bedrooms and bathrooms. It seems like a lot of the hotels in that area are on the older side. The lobby had koi fish, which my granddaughter loved-but my husband had trouble eating due to the fish being right by the breakfast area and being stinky. I did not notice the fishy smell, but he did! the breakfast was nice, they had sandwiches that could be heated. Nice choices of food. Friendly lady who was taking care of the food. We probably will not be in that area again - but I think I would look at other options. I hate giving a negative review, there were some positives for sure. I just would not stay there again.

Thank you for your recent review of our property. I am sorry the power outage affected your stay.

Nice hotel off the main strip and several blocks from the bay. There are a few restaurants within walking distance which lends to the making this a contender. Nice Koi pond in the surprisingly upscale lobby.

Thank you for your kind review and 4 out of 5 rating of our property. I appreciated your giving us high marks for our cleanliness, service and sleep quality.

The hotel was nice and clean. Employees were friendly and helpful. We were up-graded from a queen size bed to a king. That was nice and unexpected. It was located short driving distances to major attractions. Walking distance would be even better. The hotel had and adult theater/book store across the street, which was not desirable.

Welcoming, friendly and accommodating staff. Nice facilities. Near several eating places and accessible to beach and Cannery Row by car, 10 min. away. The breakfast used to offer eggs and sausage, miss those items, but now includes warm cereal and waffles.

Thank you for your thoughtful review of our property and 4 out of 5 rating. I appreciate your taking the time to post your comments. Please note our complimentary breakfast also include 2 different types of breakfast sandwiches.

Rooms are fresh!!! Breakfast had nice selection to satisfy any one, staff was so nice. Easy driving to the wharf, over to the Monterey Aquarium, real close to freeway to drive over and enjoy Carmel beaches. Easy access to 17 mile drive. Has a Dennys right next door for late might snack,CVS right across the street. and a very nice restaurant next door,too. This was my first trip and I intend to go back again and without a second thought will stay at this hotel. Also hot tub and pool were clean and relaxing . Javier at the front desk is truly wonderful and has excellent customer service.

We stayed here a couple of years ago and returned for another stay. It is a lovely hotel. Spacious room, free breakfast and very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very bright and airey. There is an outdoors pool and nice restaurant next door called the Cookhouse. Easy drive to Cannery Row and the wharf.

Got this room at the last minute because the other one I had found and booked was just awful. Everyone here was very friendly and helpful. Place looked clean as soon as you walked in and the rooms were all very clean also. Nice little continental breakfast in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and nicely appointed room. Staff was efficient, very courteous, and helpful. Nice breakfast. Short drive from Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf. Very convenient location for annual Monterey Jazz Festival--walking distance from venue. We will stay here again!

Our extended family convened in Monterey for a wedding. We booked a total of 5 rooms and enjoyed our weekend stay in the hotel. Monterey in general does not have a lot of affordable hotels, so this one is pretty good value for the money. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The lobby area has a koi pond, which is rather strange, and the pond itself could probably use a thorough cleaning. I liked that there was always coffee, tea, & apples/oranges available for the guests. I also like the open layout of the hotel that has the lobby visible from the two upper floors. Although a more direct stair connection to the lobby would've been very practical, instead of having to wait for the somewhat slow elevator. The rooms are very spacious and clean. It has everything you need. Breakfast is kind of a joke - you should just skip it and head to Denny's next door. There is also not enough space in the breakfast/lobby area to accommodate guests. The lack of A/C didn't bother us, but it was a bit tricky to open the windows for ventilation. We didn't have enough time to check out that pool, but that would've been nice. Also a gym would've been nice. All in all, it was a solid hotel for the money, and I appreciated the little quirks it has to offer (koi, open layout).

The best thing about this hotel was the smiling staff at check in. The hotel had a funky smell. I wasn't expecting much but sadly I was still dissapointed. Found hair in the bed and my 1 yr olds feet were black after walking barefoot on the carpet for only a short time. Gross. Thank god it was only one night. One too many. I would NOT stay here again.
