We stayed the first night in a 2 double bed room and had no issues. The second night we were in a king room that was suppose to be non-smoking, but the smell of smoke was terrible. Somehow a brand new robe dissapeared the first day. The office guy who said his name was John was extremely rude over the phone and offered no help at all. Extremely dissapointing for our first trip to Monterey Bay.

We made reservations at this motel only because we were staying with our sons baseball team. Upon first glance, we thought "Oh no!". Our first impression was bad due to a smoke filled lobby, if you can get past that the rest is great. While the hotel is a little old, the insides are quite updated and both inside and out is very clean. ...

This is a little nugget tucked away! I found it on the internet, read the reviews, and booked it. Still concerned until I saw it! Great people, super clean, feather beds, Kona coffee, great location! You certainly can't beat the price! Will stay here when I go to Monterey every time!

I was really impressed with this small hotel. The rooms were cleaned daily and they always had fresh flowers. I am booking to stay this year in Oct!

My boyfriend and I stayed there in one of their cottages. It was absolutely beautiful. Two rooms, tv, vcr and dvd player. Everything was clean and the beds were sooo comfortable and the pillows were too. It was like sleeping on a cloud. We are so going back even to just relax in the room all day. They had a mini fridge and coffee in the room too. ...

The Loan Oak is perfectly located to all of the main sites of the Monterey Peninsula! For what you get in amenities, it's a wonderful value! The staff has always been most accommodating and friendly! If you need extra pillows or directions or a suggestion for a place to eat, they give you a number of options and recommendations to satisfy ...

We stayed in the Family Suite along with some of our married children and 2 grandchildren. The full kitchen was perfect for preparing food for the rehearsal supper for our youngest son's wedding.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Even though the rooms were not decorated with the most up-to-date furnishings, they were clean ...

This is an older motel and I suspect that for this reason the rates are much lower than most places in the Moneterey area but you won't sacrifice anything else for the price. We had 3 rooms and they were all very clean with sufficient space and new furnishings and carpets. The hanging geraniums and flower beds around each room are kept up to perfection and beautiful.

So often when traveling we get a bit snooty feeling anything "cheap" or "low priced" cannot be good. Here is a great place which contradicts this thinking. Central location, quiet at night, great beds, clean - what more is there? Very accommodating people who know the area well and are most helpful in directing guests. It is ...
