“Red Lion Hotel Monterey provides budget-conscious lodging with functional, if somewhat spartan, rooms; guests might find the no-frills environment acceptable, though some may note the need for upkeep and attention to detail. The staff's positive attitude is a definite asset, which can smooth over some of the rougher edges. In my view, it's a practical choice for those prioritizing affordability over ambiance.”
