We came into this new view from afar. We got into the hotel. We felt very unsafe and unsettling. random people walking around in the back of the hotel. The room had sliding glass doors where anybody can access them at anytime. We ended up leaving and not enjoying the stay going into 2 hours of just staying there. The housekeeping staffing was still cleaning our room which it was not ready at all.

Parking and the shopping around the property were excellent. The property itself was another story. Room was filthy and looked like basic minimal cleaning took place. Looked like health code violations everywhere. Stains on walls, broken outlets, dirty floors, hairs in tub but the fridge worked.

Our stay was just ok however the Front Desk guy was very nice. When we entered the room it smelled of VERY STRONG cleaning! My husband went to the window to opened it to get some fresh air and the window had SO much water inside! Not a good start to our getaway. Also, the room didn’t have a hairdryer??? Since when doesn’t a hotel provide a hairdryer? The hotel ambiance was just ok. Bring a hairdryer.

On the outside the property looked old, but fine. Bed was fine. In room there were cracked tiles and chipped paint, damaged door. Some repairs appeared to be attempted but clearly not by a professional. Amenities advertised not available. Hot tub was disgusting… filled with mud and leaves. No coffee pot in room. Neither phone, TV, nor heater worked in the room. Had 3 nights booked, left after 1.

Staff checked someone else into my room because they had a "similar" name, so when I went to check in my reservation could not be found. Isn't this why they're supposed to check for ID's? After a 6 hour drive I did not want to have to deal with this because the staff couldn't take an extra 30 secinds to actually READ! I booked 2 queen beds, and the room given to use because of the mixup was 2 full, making the stay cramped. The bathroom sink wouldnt drain, and the tub had a gunk in it even before use. Shower fittings were pulling away from the walls. While cheap, I definitely will look for other places to book in Monterey.

The property is in need of an update - a renovation. Finishes and fixtures are showing age. Cleanliness is OK, but there were cobwebs on the window sill. Doors do not close properly. Showerhead should be replaced. This photo is of the restaurant that closed five years ago. Location is very good for access to Carmel, PB and Monterey.

Cons: Had to park in the front, Our room was in the back of the hotel and it was so dark. The room was ok I think it needed a deep cleaning such as dusting and wiping down furniture. The fridge did not produce cold temperatures it was warm.(they did offer us to switch rooms, but we already unpacked) Pros: quiet area, things to do near by, was willing to solve by switching rooms, heater worked very well.
