Welcome to Kings Lodge Motel

Kings Lodge Motel, nestled at 340 S Garfield Ave in Monterey Park, California, stands as a modest yet inviting lodging option with a solid 3.5-star rating.

Longtime guests praise the motel not only for its affordability but also for its unique charm: every room feels distinct, adding a touch of character to each stay. The lobby’s intriguing décor hints at the motel’s rich history, including stories spanning generations, like that of a staff member’s mother who worked there decades ago. This connection to community adds depth to the guest experience.

Staff members consistently earn high praise, often described as patient, generous, and sincerely invested in the wellbeing of their guests. Their thoughtful gestures—whether it’s accommodating a late payment or offering personal advice—enhance the ease and comfort of every stay.

Kings Lodge Staff Are Incredibly Generous, and very patient. My bank card was compromised and I had no way to withdraw money from an ATM or use my card to pay for my hotel room when I extended. They were kind and generous enough to wait till I was sent money to pay for my room well Into the early evening. I was gifted to be able to stay another night and show them my gratitude by being a returning guest. And the views are incredible.

Amazing. Felt cozy. Very good Vibes! The front desk people are very nice, I will definitely come back here for the experience, the lady at the front desk even complimented my car , she then gave me advice to remove my window tint because her son got a ticket for it so she was trying to look out in my best interest Will definitely come back! I love the privacy, and space! Amazing for the price. I did have to move around to find the wifi sweet spot though, other than that, Everything great!

I felt comfortable during my visits. They are very accommodating, it's a nice place. Affordable, humble, I was safe and secure. Interesting decor in the lobby. The family owned type of place, which I feel better paying for. Nice welcoming staff. The view from my room was beautiful. First trip to the area, I could have payed more for a room elsewhere but I'm glad I chose this place for my business trips.
