Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Location was perfect since we were attending a softball tournament 2 miles away.

It was perfect for our family.

All we wanted was a nice place to stay for our kids to play at and have a nice breakfast. The hilton provided all that and more. Everyone was so nice and friendly. And the pool was perfect. Our room was great. It was a real treat for us.

Very clean

Very clean and quite! Nice indoor pool and spa. we were very worried when we pulled up because it is right next to the freeway - pleasantly surprised that you couldn't hear the freeway at all. Morning breakfast was very nice. A ton to choose from. The staff was always checking to make sure all items were fresh and fully stocked. A bit far from Monterey - it took us about 30 minutes to get there but it worked well for us.

Nice Hotel but location iffy.

Pros: Free breakfast
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a nice variety of food available. Indoor pool and exercise room were clean and not ever crowded. Location was just okay. Close to freeway access which was great but next to a agricultural field. Smell from field was strong and we found a huge spider in the room. Room was okay but could have been little cleaner. Found a used toothbrush on the floor next to the couch.
