Great location near Monterey! The building is older, but it’s very well taken care of. Our room was clean and comfortable, we felt safe, and we slept great. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!
Great people take pride in their property and making it nice for travelers to enjoy,they always keep the room nice and neat and fresh,cool area out front to have a seat and enjoy a drink after a long day,can't say enough positive things about the place other than it's came along way and wonderful people run it are doing a fantastic job,We stay here often travelling for work near the area.
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.
The layout and architecture was pretty solid compared to other places in Monterey. Great pricing for what it is :) Location is awesome as well! Will definitely be coming back.
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!!
Good budget-friendly hotel, and only about 10mins away from Monterey attractions. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a vending machine, ice machine, water refill station, as well as washer/dryer that came in useful during our trip. The room was a good size and very well distributed, with a good size bathroom. Everything seemed clean and tidy. Some parts of the room could use some upkeep like paint or repair but overall we were very comfortable during our stay. Definitely would stay here again.
