Monterey Beach Dunes Inn - Marina

This location is so great because you can walk to the beach.

We stayed there this time last year with an adequate room with a view, and so wanted to stay there again on our same business trip. This time only thing of "quality" we got from the Monterey Dunes Quality Inn was it's same location: it proved to be an overpriced dump. We made the reservation more than a week ahead of time since it was a business trip, but got stuck with what must be the most undesirable room in the house, room 109, next to furnace, laundry room, and ice machine, which was also the view. Here we are in the gorgeous Monterey Dunes in a basement setting. The circumstances were special, the fire fighters from the Big Sur wild fire were staying there, and the hotel was sold out. But a reduction in room rate should have been offered to compensate for all the inconveniences. I spoke up during check out, and the employee did was apologize, but was closed-lipped when I brought up the monetary issue, that a room of such low quality should reflect a discounted price. By that's okay, I intend to take my case to the higher ups in the Quality Inn food chain. Oh, and did I mention housekeeping yells up and down the stories, and floors to each other in the morning when you're trying to sleep?

The outside looks nice, but the room is so outdated. The most uncomfortable bed for a hotel, the window frame was broken so we kept the heater on all night because the window wouldn't close, and the TV was an old box with horrible sound and color. This stay makes me not want to trust Quality Inn

Reservation messed up. Desk girl nice but back manager very snotty. Hotel was ok. Next to a great beach.

we had an unpleasant experience here, we found an opened needle in our room, we were moved out of the room
