"Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked out at 9am. We went for a stroll in the town, and returned after an hour. When we returned at 10am I asked the staff (not the friendly staff helped us check in) if I can use a restroom. Knowing we just checked out, the staff bluntly replied there isn’t public toilet in the hotel, so we’d better use the one in the local park. When we asked if we could go back to our room to use the toilet as it’s still early. His said the cleaners were already in. We then walked to our car which was next to our room, only to find the cleaners hadn’t been at all. Zero hospitality, disappointed."

"There were some changes since the last time we stay here in 2023. The breakfast does not have any eggs, yogurt, or fruits anymore. They put in a coffee/mocha/latte machine. The heater/fan makes noises so we had to turn it off even though it was colder than we like in the room. Then it was kind of stuffy in the room without airflow. We opened the window for awhile, which helped. The tap water has bleach smell. The staff is accommodating."

"Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail."

"The King Hotel is too far from Monterey. It takes about an hour to drive. If the budget is OK, it is recommended to live in Monterey, especially in the small town of Carmel. This hotel is the place where you stay. You have to prepare your own toothbrush. The front desk aunt gave us the room card and took the wrong room. Someone actually lived in the room. Open the door several times and open it. Then inside. The knock on the door gave me a shock"

Facilities: There is a fireplace in the room, love is miserable! Hygienic: It looks very clean! Service: The service is very good and the reception is warm. The breakfast is a bit rudimentary. Hotel location is very good, you can walk to the beach. Be sure to go to the beach to watch the sunset in the evening, beautiful. There is a restaurant near the hotel, you can eat if you are hungry.

There are no attractions around the hotel and it takes 40 minutes to walk by the sea. As a temporary accommodation, if you are on vacation, you will be free from entertainment and leisure. Hotel Wi-Fi is not good, maybe I live on the far side, there is almost no net in the room. The hotel has coffee, bread, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, but it is simple but can be eaten. The customer service was not particularly clean. When I went in, I found black stains on the sheets. The front desk sent me sheets to let me change, saying that the waiters were off work. In short, I feel like a hotel.

It was past nine o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, and the office was closed. Remember to call the office in advance. They will leave the room number and key card in an iron mailbox next to the office door. It's easy to see. The location of the hotel is very convenient, and the self-driving supermarket is also very close. The price I set is probably not expensive around here, and I think it's pretty good.

The hotel is very clean. When I took a shower, I was surprised that the white shower curtain didn't have any stains. I booked an ordinary motel with low expectations, but the sanitary conditions far exceeded expectations. The refrigerator and microwave were fully equipped, and the bed was quite comfortable. Breakfast is packaged and taken away by yourself. Each bag contains milk, fruit, cheese, etc. You can take cereal and coffee as you like. In short, it is quite good to stay for one night while passing by. There is a gas station below the hotel, and there doesn't seem to be much noise. Maybe some truck drivers will stay here, but it's quite friendly.

The biggest advantage is that the room is big and the bed is very comfortable, but the room facilities are like an old house in the 80s. Breakfast is only a simple breakfast such as coffee and yoghurt. Even the eggs are not likely to be expensive. Carmel is worth more than two hundred dollars.
