A clean hotel, and the check-in was easy. Secured access to the rooms. Maybe a little under furnished in the rooms (only a folding chair and 1 night stand, no suitcase stand or anywhere to hang clothes), there was a refrigerator though. Great old school US highway type hotel for a night.

Average room, and up keep. I was surprised that they wanted my Spouse to pay for the room. They voiced that they used my card to make the reservation. I Prefer using a credit card once.

Room was clean and appeared newly renovated. Somewhat spartan; small, one folding chair for seating, bare white walls. Had refrigerator and microwave, but no coffee pot. Perfectly fine though, if you just need a place to sleep for a night or two.

Closeness to highway, no coffee/tea in room for a motel costing almost $200 a night! Bathing soap, shampoo and conditioner were flimsy and cheap, no body lotion. It is disappointing

Had this motel cost me under $100 I would give it a better review but for $145 I expect more than I got. The room was so small there was no space to do yoga or work out. The towels had stains on them which was very disappointing and unappealing. There was no body lotion - only a shampoo/conditioner mix which was so so and soap. On the positive side, the man who checked me in was very nice and friendly. Check in and out was easy. Other than the stained towels everything was very clean. The bed was comfy enough and it was basically ok as a place to sleep. Nothing else. I wish I had paid the $30 more to stay in Monterey as the area really didn’t have much. I was trying to save a buck but it ended up not being worth the money. Again, for a simple place to sleep it is totally fine had it been $70 or tops $80 but for $145 I want space to move around the room, unstained towels, coffee in the room, lotion and better shampoo/conditioner. In the end I understand motels lost a lot of money last yr in the pandemic and for that reason I am happy to pay the $145 if it will help them back on their feet but overall I felt a little ripped off.
