Neat little place, staff was friendly and were always there willing to help. The location had access to food, convenience stores, and markets which was nice. Price for a 2 night stay was very reasonable.
When you first drive in you can tell it’s an older hotel, but the rooms inside are really nice and the beds are comfortable, and everything was nicely cleaned
Super clean, very easy check in process. Love the key pad doors, no keys or access cards. Smart TV. Amazing place especially for the price. If your in the area and need a place to stay I highly recommend!!
Property owner keeps it clean and he’s very accommodating. Almost checked in before their check out time. Rooms smell amazing and fresh. For the price it’s astonishing!
It was the cheapest place we could find for Monterey car week. It couldn’t have been better. Really well placed, easy to see the cars and from the balcony facing the road you could see the odd spot of racing. My wife said it was the best sleep she had had so far in our 3 week trip.
The rooms were very clean and staff is extremely helpful. Our room came with a refrigerator and microwave and that was beneficial. Check in was a breeze even late at night. Establishment is at a great location and 20 mins away from the aquarium. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Rooms were clean and bedding comfortable. The location was right next to a Costco which was convenient. Was also a few streets down from the beach. One thing I appreciated was the lighting around the property during the night. It was well lit and felt safe. Thank you for the great stay.
The room is clean, good wifi. It's budget friendly, 10 mins to drive main attractions. shopping mall is closeby.
you can park your car right outside your room, which make big convenience to bring your stuff in and in case you forget something in the car. the garbage bin right outside the door. I enjoyed these 2 so much after long trip.
If I visit this area again, I will come back to this hotel.
