Had a great stay. Room was clean and comfy. The beds were surprisingly comfortable. Staff was very responsive and quick to a see when we had questions or requested items. It was conveniently located behind a gas station and liquor store so we didn't have to drive for late night snacks. Overall was a great stay and not far from stores and beaches. Will definitely book again

A good value when looking to stay in the Monterey area during high season. The room was spacious and clean. Comfortable bed, and fairly quiet. Convenient location and friendly staff. Breakfast grab and go bag was nice to have. Would just note that the hotel office is inside the gas station convenience store without a clear OFFICE sign.

Came here for a weekend grip, and it was a great place to stay! The reception desk is in the back of the gas station, which was a bit hard to find, but now I know. Will definitely come back here for future trips!

The facilities were nice and clean , easy to get to from Monterrey Bay about 10-15 minutes away . Restaurants and stores located near by . The only thing I was disappointed about was the “breakfast “ all we got was a cup of aActivia yougurt, cookies and a banana or orange. I think the contents of breakfast should be disclosed so that guest have an idea and are not disappointed the way we were .
