Front desk and staff were nice, and the free breakfasts were a nice touch considering there isn't much dining options in the area. It could get a little crowded the 2nd hour, but going before the rush was a chill experience. Room smelled mildewy the entire time we were there despite tryingt o air it out, but overall, the sheets were clean, mattress was comfy, and the kitchenette area was useful. Shower was lukewarm at best and there was no hot water at the sink, which was a bummer. Overall, a good budget hotel if you get a good price and have low expectations. It's a little outside of downtown Monterey, so there were limited options as far as dining.

Avoid this place

This is a one star, at best, motel charging four star resort prices. Upon your entry to the parking lot you will begin to feel unsafe and question what poor life choices led you to this place. The front desk person was on a personal call the entire check in process. I did not see the front desk person again despite repeatedly looking for him. The incessant noise and smoke smell (of various varieties) made it impossible to sleep. The bathroom had a middle of nowhere gas station level of cleanliness. This should be a $67 per night motel. Avoid.

Hotel was close to a lot of retail and food establishments. The room itself was small and dark. Bathroom needed some TLC ( cracks in walls, chipped tile and some mildew stains ) the carpet was in need over a deep clean or replacement. Beds were hard and stiff, WiFi was in n out all weekend. Walls are very thin and parking was a hassle after coming back later in the evening

No frills, decent place.

Decent hotel, a place to feel safe and secure for a couple days. No luxury, and the continental breakfast was minimal, blow dryer in room didn’t work. Still, I was working with a limited budget and got what I paid for.

Nice stay

For the price it was well worth it, you’re right in the center of everything it felt like since driving down to Monterey was a 15 minute drive same thing as fisherman’s wharf and cannery row it was not all far, driving to Carmel was only like 20 minutes as well it was quiet which was surprising since it was on a pretty busy street and the room was clean. The only issue we faced was one of the lights in the bathroom was out and the light on our night stand kept flickering but we weren’t in the room all day just there to sleep and shower so it was perfect for those nights.
