I stayed here overnight for a Spartan Race and it was exactly what I needed. The location was central to everything, which made getting around super easy. The beds were nice and soft, and the shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. Parking was also very convenient. Overall, a comfortable and hassle‑free stay.

Villa Franca Inn is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable stay in Monterey. Located 20 minutes (walking) and 5 minutes (driving) from fisherman’s wharf, it’s in a nice location. Parking is free, check in/out is quick and easy, staff were kind. Room is simple, but spacious. Had no complaints for the price paid. Walls are a bit thin, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for place.

A small vintage motel on a busy street just at the edge of old Monterey, but very clean, comfortable and well maintained rooms. The weather was too brisk to enjoy the outdoor amenities, but the fire pit and patio set up was charming. There was coffee and tea, but no breakfast.

Positives: Seems the building was recently painted and looked nice. Beds were soft, which I like. Bathroom seemed like something you'd normally see in someone's home, not a hotel... appreciated that. Negatives: The parking spaces were a little tight, but it seemed like there were enough for the number of rooms available. We could hear the upstairs neighbor a bit, but it was never booming. Overall, we really liked this hotel and even recommended it to family members.
