"This is a no-frills hotel, it’s so close to the highway. It is a little bit loud, but the convenience of being close to the harbor for whale watching tours and also close proximity to Monterey is for the money, a good deal. They’re a little stingy with their towels."

"I am not a motel person so had to read way too many reviews before booking, but would do so again in a heartbeat. The rooms are clean and pretty spacious, the staff is very friendly, and there are little gem amenities, like fresh popcorn and snowcones that you can actually get and hot coffee each morning. Great location as well. "

Outdoor pool, a heated pool, open 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM, pool umbrellas

"The proximity can’t be beat and the restaurant on site is delicious. We got free parking as part of our stay but it is $35 a day as an FYI. In my opinion it should be included given how costly this property is. That’s my biggest complaint is how expensive this hotel is! Also have to go to floor 4 for a communal microwave that is disgusting was not fun as my son has dietary restrictions that I had to bring food with us. "

Fun family getaway

"I stayed here over President’s Day weekend with my husband and our two kids (12 and 8), and my cousin, her partner and her son (4). The kids loved the beach which is right in front of the property accessed by a short walkway- it is not swimmable but they loved dipping their feet, playing in the sand and flying a kite that was at the house. We also enjoyed the hot tub at the clubhouse. We all ate dinner at the dining table and there is a huge TV in the living room as well as the bedrooms and big DVD selection plus streaming services. Chairs are set up overlooking the ocean with a telescope. 25 minute drive to Monterey, 8-10 minute drive to Castroville which is a small town with various food options (lots of seafood and Mexican). We met people who live there full time who also recommend a Thai restaurant in Moss Landing which is not far. It was more remote than I realized, surrounded by farmlands, so you definitely have to drive to go anywhere outside the gated community. "

Always a lovely time at pajaro

"I’ve been staying at pajaro since I was a little tot myself, and so it’s always such a joy to come back with my own little tot in tow. This was a gorgeous home in the most perfect area, and our host was easy to reach and promptly communicative when we needed. Such a nice little retreat and reset! Highly recommend. "
