We stayed at the Lone Oak Lodge when passing through Monterey on our west coast tour in June 2023. The motel is obviously an older motel. But it looks in very good condition and has had very good renovations. Although the property could use new pavement in the parking area. The old cracked pavement is functional. We were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room. Most of the furniture is new including a firm memory foam mattress, which we ourselves own and prefer. The sink, fixtures and shower are very nice and modern. Plantation shutters make the window treatments much nicer than the typical shades most motels use. The walls are done well and painted in eye pleasing colors. We really liked the flooring in our room. All in all, a really good looking room. It could use a larger TV. But the smaller TV works fine. Honestly, we have been staying at a lot of hotels and motels lately and found the Lone Oak Lodge's room to be nicer than most. Our room has a lot of 120volt outlets for our needs. I went around and counted 12 unused sockets, plus a USB and a USB-C outlet for what most folks would ever need to plug in as far as devices and such. Wireless Internet was good. Our room had 2 types of rolling and swivel type chairs for use at the table or desk area. I used one at the desk and the other on the opposite side of the bed which had a lot of room. We also had a refrigerator and microwave oven. The shower is very modern with good pressure. It also has probably the softest water we have ever used. Maybe not, but it's very soft. Although there is no shelve for ladies to shave their legs. So they will have to improvise. The toilet works very well, but also makes a strong flush. This can be noticeable at night. Our room had good lighting outside the room in both front and back. The Red Roof inn directly behind the Lone Oak Lodge has a lot of lighting as well. So our bathroom was well lit at night. So no need for a night light there. Although the desk could use a light. I had to use the sink light to light up the desk. The bathroom window is frosted for privacy. And you can open both the front and bathroom windows for airflow. The sink is great and I can use it without feeling it's too far away like most motels/hotels. The mirror is heated. So it will not steam up, even if you forget to use the fan when showering. The closet section isn't great. It is kind of in the way in the sink area, and had no hangers. But it had a couple of hooks. We did hear a couple of jets taking off from the airport close by. But I only noticed a couple while there. And honestly, they didn't seem drastically loud. None of them were at night. The room was pretty quiet when we stayed. And we parked right in front of our room. We slept the best in a month sleeping on our style mattress. It being new probably also helped. We paid about $100 per night including taxes in June, 2023. Honestly, I felt it more than reasonable. We paid much more for much less quite a few times lately. That being said, I rate the Lone Oak Lodge at 5 stars, that I rarely give out for lodging. I tend to focus on what an inn gives you at a price point rather than what it doesn't. As such, I feel that the Lone Oak is a rare gem you may want to consider. We changed our plans and stayed more than one night in Monterey. That decision was heavily influenced by how much we liked the room we had at the Lone Oak.
