Overall the hotel is good, location not so much. Great breakfast variety. Beds comfortable, only complaint was that the neighbors had a loud party well past 1am and we had to call it in because the noise level was unbearable, we had little kids struggling to sleep.

Very pleased with the hotel overall. They were very accommodating, friendly and the rooms were nice. Only downside was parking was very limited and extremely tight for trucks. Only after our last night did we learn there was a second parking lot, accessed from a different street. Never saw it so can’t comment on that. Definitely plan to return here next year.

It was conveniently close to where we needed tobe for 2 days. Spent just 1 overnight to rest. I say for the price we could have gotten more for the money. Room was clean, bed well made, but the shower and toilet room was tight. I like the old spanish motiff of the room and hotel itself.

We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. We chose a room with a kitchen but all the plates and silverware were paper/plastic from the breakfast room. Bring your own knives as there are none but the plastic ones. Parking in the main lot is limited so get back to your room early. The second lot is narrow and longer cars may have trouble fitting in a spot.

The furnishings and stocked kitchen. The bed &bedding was comfortable The sofa bed was comfortable. Pool was clean and heated pool . Hot tub is nice after a day! They gave us extra towels and cleaned our room well. The flowers around the hotel are beautiful and the breakfast was good. Would have liked pancakes and waffles instead of just French toast sticks. The coffee in the room wasn’t good. Also the machine coffee isn’t too great as before when they had fresh coffee. Parking/ lot is tricky when full. We loved our stay and hope to come again.

It is located near a local road, and the traffic is not busy. However, the soundproofing was poor—I felt as if there were no walls at all. It was very noisy.

I really loved this hotel. Older hotel, but very well cared for. The rooms were very nice and roomy. Bed was comfortable. The cookies in the lobby are a nice touch! The only slightly negative comment is that there is no elevator...not a problem for me. The parking was very limited. Close to so many things in the Monterey Bay area. Will stay here again.

We stayed at three different hotels while we visited California and we chose the Rose Garden Inn because of its proximity to Monterey, Big Sur, Big Basin Redwood Park, and Santa Cruz. We were not disappointed and it was honestly the best of the three. Gas in this area was relatively inexpensive and it was very easy to get things that we needed nearby at Target. The room was outstanding and the breakfast in the morning was good. It’s a great place to be in the middle of a lot of things in the Monterey Bay area.

The heater wasn’t working for two nights and days and it was cold. I went several times to the front desk. The young girls at the desk were friendly, but didn’t know anything, no one to call, no back up space heater, no other room (it was sold out) and no extra blankets. On day 3 the heater was fixed and the manager, Ashley, was in. I put in a request with her for a half refund on the two nights/days without heater. She was very unfriendly, not service oriented and it was clear I was annoying her with my request and arguments for a half refund, after all, the issue was now fixed therefore all was solved. After discussing and arguing, she gave me 15% off. I was dissatisfied with that, not enough for not sleeping well two nights due to cold. Several arguments and days later, she gave me 30% off. I can understand things break, but then being very unfriendly in making things right is bad customer service. I won’t stay there again.
