I was very disappointed with this hotels response regarding third party usage and charges for allowing pets on property. No disclaimer on website regarding the $25 charge per pet which is ridiculous. Had no choice but to pay. I requested a refund or some level of compensation but to no avail. Not very human friendly.

Great value. Spacious, clean room in a very convenient, quiet location. Easy beach access with a great coffee spot (Phoebe’s) along the way.

I have stayed here before and loved it so booked a last minute 1 night stay for a Saturday, and booked it 3 days before the trip. The next day I began experiencing medical issues and requested to cancel and I am still being charged the cancellation fee which is the FULL original cost even though I booked the trip less than 3 days before, which allowed me no time to cancel. Were unwilling to accommodate despite the fact that I am experiencing a medical issue and I’m very frustrated.

Had a lovely stay at this hotel last weekend! We came for a two day Indian wedding ceremony (happening at hotels with $400-$600 a night rooms) so we were looking for something simple and affordable. Deer Haven was just that and perfect for our needs. When I checked us in on Friday the receptionist was very nice, same age as me and we talked about weddings and what to wear (noticed my henna!). Our room was 110, lower level corner. Never heard people above us. Never heard people to our left. Straight up, this was such a quiet and peaceful hotel, it felt like we were there by ourselves (which is wild because it's definitely a busy time of year for travel)!!! The beds were comfy. We didn't use the fireplace. TV was old school (no apps) so it was fun to watch Comedy Central and other channels we used to like when cable was king. And lastly, we saw deer! LOTS of deer, especially in the mornings!!!If you're looking for a nice affordable place to lay your head down while you explore pebble beach and Monterey, you should book this place.Edit: adding more detail! It IS close to the beach! Our friend spent both of her mornings walking to the beach and back. Is the beach directly across the street? No, but that's ok. Use your legs and explore! The trails are very close, and she loved walking around in the mornings. The hotel itself is in a bit of a residential patch, but I grew up in Half Moon Bay so this place felt like I was walking around home. I knew that it wouldn't be "central" like you walk out the door and 5 restaurants are there, but hotels like that were double or more in price. This was a great deal and close enough to all the things!

My boyfriend and I booked a room for one night on July 22, 2023 and I'm grateful it was for only one night. The room reeked of urine and despite having kept the windows wide open all night and wearing a mask, the unpleasant odor persisted. This is a pet friendly hotel and unfortunately, management did not take care of the problem. The room was not carpeted but I strongly suspect that a huge, upholstered chair in the room could have been the culprit. That night was not worth $353, and I would NEVER book room there again.

I have stayed at this budget motel many times and unfortunately, the rooms and customer service have hit rock bottom. For $225/night I received many bug bites in the morning, gnats all over the room, stains and holes in the sheets. Nasty. What's nastier is the response I got from the 20 year old girl at the front desk. She hasn't a clue about hospitality. I tried to change rooms and contact a manager many times before leaving negative feedback. Unfortunately, past taking your money, they can't provide any problem solving as they simply don't care. Such a shame to see this change.

Yes, the Dear Haven is a low key, low budget motel and doesn't offer a lot of amenities. However, I have stayed at alot of 5 star to 1 star hotel/motels in the past and this one is pretty fair.
The rooms are updated and remodeled but admittedly the shower is low water pressure and has other issues. The management however, is very nice and responsive and they post on their purchase receipt no breakfast bar (as most hotels do at this COVID time period).
The motel is close to the beach, 17 mile drive, downtown and is close to Monterey Bay Aquarium. AND, they were much cheaper by 1/2 than similar motels down the street. I recommend for the price and location.

ITS NOT ON THE BEACH!!! They totally made us think that it's just a quick walk to the beach and it is not! The place was also super run down and the shower sucked. We're coming back to the area and staying else where cause this place was so terrible and upsetting. DO NOT STAY HERE
