this was a wonderful place to stay. I have a service dog that I bring with me and they were very accommodating. It was easy to walk across the street to a beautiful open park for me to take her to use the restroom. It was within walking distance of the Del Monte Center, which is a high-end shopping center with beautiful surroundings and wonderful shops. It was very close to the downtown area and the beach. there was a medium size refrigerator with freezer that worked very well and a microwave. We had a little fireplace in our room. The room was very clean and the beds were so comfortable and the sheets were so soft! We didn’t make use of the pool and the spa, but many people did and it looked very nice. I liked how they had flowers all around in planter boxes and everything was so clean and neat. Also, on a sidenote, if you’re hungry, there’s a 24 hour Jack-in-the-Box at the bottom of the street, not the best food, but better than nothing. Very happy with our stay thank you very much!

Stay was okay. Walls were thin so the noise from the neighbors woke us up in middle of the night a couple times. Hand towel holder was broken and the tissue box holder in the wall near the bathroom was partially pulled out upon arriving to the room. Location was good though.

The hotel might be fine, but my room was not. It was ground level and shared a wall with the office, and there was a lot of noise on and off from cars and the office. The blinds were paper, so it was also very bright in the room. Pros: clean, parking, affordable Cons: a lot of noise, no blackout curtains, very soft bed I’ve stayed in affordable places on this street before and think there are better options so I wouldn’t book this place again.

Well maintained and very clean. Little noisy if someone is above you, but not bad noise level. Free wi-fi and free parking. Small rooms, but we were happy with our stay. They don't have someone manning the desk during really early and really late hours, so you won't get to speak to anyone if you are an early riser or check-in late, but they have ways to work around that. I'd recommend staying here. So sorry to the cleaning services, we forgot to leave a tip.
