It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.

Great stay! Affordable, central to everything. My only complaint was the people staying in the room beside us, very loud and seemed to be fighting physically most of the night. Service is great! Friendly staff and housekeeping.

Conveniently located stay close to CSUMB where our kid currently attends school. The accommodations in this area are extremely expensive for folks just trying to come and visit their kids. We like to bring our dog with us on these trips, so dog-friendly was a plus. Liquor store being right next to hotel was great for late night snacks & water/beer. Mold in shower, hairs left from last folks who stayed. Shower & bed squeaked very loudly with any movement of the bed/temp adjustment knob. The side tables are barely held up by anything and are barely weight bearing. Shoddy construction all throughout the room. $30/night extra for a dog was fine for me until I saw the condition of the room… then I didn’t feel like that was a fair price to charge per night.
