My first choice in Monterey! I am a repeat customer here, so this review comes after over three years of staying here probably around 50 nights over the three years. I come back here because the staff is family operated, and their computers save my preferences, since some rooms don't work for me, but it's in their system so every time I call, they know what rooms I prefer. They just did a remodel, and the price is still very competitive!

The staff was nice and helpful. The only thing that stood out was that there was an old mattress that was outside our room during our whole stay. The parking is a very small area.

The property was under extensive renovation with no notice at booking. The room had a lot of wear and was shoddily repaired. There were a lot of workers around at all times and in the evening they were congregated in the parking area smoking and drinking. Would not recommend.

Parking was easy bit hotel itself didn’t seem clean. The front desk had no up front. The room was “remodeled” however there was mold in the chalk, the shower looked like it had not been cleaned and the bed was unbearably uncomfortable

I'm giving 2 stars because the rooms were updated. The rooms were not cleaned properly. Our shower was clogged so the water did not drain. Floor was dirt and lots of dust everywhere. It's a dog friendly hotel with no where for the dog to use the restroom. Construction material all over the ground around the parking lot. Construction started in the room nextdoor at 7:40am, with loud banging and skill saw. It was not a good way to spend a quiet vacation.
