Relax in the heart of Monterey Bay at El Castell Motel, where guests rave about the indoor pool and helpful staff. Unwind with a dip in the pool or catch some sun on a lounger, then stay connected with free WiFi and enjoy extended parking.

Convenient location and neatly kept

Nice little place to stay off the beaten path. Convenient location to the beach, restaurants, and adventure. Quiet…well, except for the room refrigerator. That little thing seemed to be working extra hard.
