"Yes I would recommend this motel 6 to others. We were very happy with the location, closeness to the Monterey Aquarium, and the Dunes. At a great price, including a microwave and refrigerator. The room was very clean and well supplied. The grounds and parking were clean and ample areas to walk our dog frequently. The parking area and vending machines were clean and stocked. The only shortfall is the limited amount of available cable channels for movies . My husband loves movies. Yes I would recommend this motel 6 to others."
