Close to town but not in a walkable area. Balcony was scary and overlooks a depressing scene but it was a nice surprise that you could get a peek at the ocean. Disappointed in the staff who gave a key to our room to another surprised family. The computer was blamed but I've never seen a computer accidentally check a hotel guest out. So fortunate that the guests who were given access to our room didn’t go through our belongings. Felt the hotel staff didn’t take the error very seriously.

It's a little bit older and outdated but the room was clean and a good size. The indoor pool was a great amenity because while it was a little foggy and cool outside, we were still able to enjoy it.

The staff and service were excellent – – friendly, helpful, and responsive. The rooms and property are kept very clean in the bed was comfortable. It’s an older property so it’s a bit dated, but the friendly Service easily makes up for that. It’s about a 15 minute walk downtown but it’s a short drive to almost anywhere you want to go in the Monterey area so a good location

The gal at check-in was very friendly. She even provided us with a few dining options as I had asked for some recommendations. Room was clean. There is onsite parking but not necessarily a guarantee that you will get a spot if you get back late in the evening. There is street parking available. Overall a good stay as we were only there for 1 night.

The room was clean but very basic. Bed was firm, pillows went flat. We requested additional pillows and they said that they didn’t have any extras. The bathroom was updated. We wanted a first floor room because we didn’t want to carry luggage upstairs, but this meant that we could hear people walking around upstairs. The room had a fridge and microwave. If you’re old with a firm bed and a room that feels rather empty, then you’ll be ok with this motel. We chose to leave after one night and the manager graciously agreed to give us a refund.

Good for people who just needs a place to stay.

Pros: Nothing out of the ordinary. Its a Motel. It was pretty clean overall. It was quiet during my stay. Seems like the bathroom is renovated which is nice. Microwave & Refrigerator included. Check in & out was easy & smooth. Swimming pool open for everyone. Cons: I did see a few hair strands on my bed and some on the floor. There wasnt much but i did spot it. No handsoap! Not sure if its just my room or if its all rooms. Floors not the cleaniest either. After walking around in the room barefoot, my feet did get dirty. And the last thing is parking. If the place is fully booked, parking spots will be limited. During my stay, it was fully booked. I went out and came back around 9:30pm and saw only 4-5 parking spots left. If the parking lot is full, you will have to park on the street.
