#9 of 9 hotels in Del Monte Beach & Seaside by Axel's take. Del Monte Beach & Seaside is #6 of 6 places to stay in Monterey, California. The best hotels in Del Monte Beach & Seaside, ranked · Where to stay in Monterey, California

Axel's take: 6.5/10

A workable Monterey stopover, but small rooms and uneven upkeep limit the appeal. a bare-bones 2-star roadside motel, formerly Motel 6, scored for what it is.

Vagabond Inn Monterey is a bare-bones 2-star roadside motel, formerly Motel 6, that makes most sense for a short, budget-minded stop with a car. Free parking and easy access to nearby restaurants are practical strengths. Recent guests often praise comfortable beds and clean rooms, but the overall picture across Booking.com, Expedia and Google is mixed rather than reliably good.

The trade-offs go beyond missing extras: rooms are often described as cramped, refrigerators and microwaves are not standard, and recurring reports mention uneven cleaning, maintenance problems and inconsistent service. An outdoor pool is listed, but don't make it the reason to book without checking its condition and availability. Expedia now lists pet charges, so don't assume the former Motel 6 policy still applies. We'd skip it for a longer stay or if dependable housekeeping is your priority.

  • Best for: budget-minded travelers with a car; one-night Monterey stopovers

  • Watch out for: small rooms with minimal extras; uneven housekeeping and maintenance; pet charges despite older free-pet listings

  • Location: North Fremont Street near restaurants and the fairgrounds; not beachfront, and a car helps for sightseeing.

  • Rooms: Basic exterior-corridor rooms; confirm refrigerator and microwave availability, and request ground level if stairs are difficult.

  • Cleanliness: Many guests report clean rooms, but recent complaints across sites make consistency a concern.

  • Service: Helpful staff receive praise, alongside repeated complaints about unfriendly interactions and problem handling.

  • Amenities: Free parking, Wi-Fi and guest laundry; an outdoor pool is listed, but its current condition needs confirmation.

  • Fees and surprises: Expedia lists a nightly service fee and daily pet charges; older listings still show pets staying free.
