Asilomar Dunes Vacations from $897

This was a really amazing experience, and really fun to have free rein over property.

Beautiful Hotel, gorgeous views they have done a nice job remodeling the rooms. Fireplaces and ocean views are lovely. The only issue is the check in is too late at 4pm and the check out is too early at 10am it is just not worth the price to stay at this hotel with that short of time to enjoy the room and property.

The staff and the property were awesome.

Excellent house in a wonderful location! Nestled behind gates at 17 mile drive at the end of beautiful culdesac. Prime location looking over treetops into Carmel Valley. Would definitely stay here again with the family!

It all depends on context. I visited this property during Monterey Car Week when even the Motel 6 is a $600 a night investment. The motel has a very convenient location and the staff was great with 24 hour per day on site security ensuring that the place was as safe as possible. With all that said, the rooms are outdated and a bit worn, though relatively clean. During MCW, I have stayed at places running the entire gamut from $1800 a night to motels like this. Overall, I think the value was great and I would recommend this during those high leverage occasions when the budget doesn't permit spending several thousands of dollars for what is a bed for a few hours a night. As long as your eyes are open and expectations realistic, it wasn't a horrible experience.
