It was the best stay I had during my trip. A nice, clean room with very comfy bed, with good coffee machine, fridge and microwave. Large bathroom with very decent shower and lovely shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. Meant to get basic house keeping (change of towels and emptying bins) but it was a full service each day! Gave me plenty of fresh towels, too. Had all the commual facility that I needed such as ice machine, laundry facility, coffee machine all working - the fact I could not take for granted during my trip. There was a heated swimming pool, too which I didn't use. Right by bus stops (to and from) and it was beyond convenient! It is also close to many restaurants and shops with just a short driving distance. Minor negatives were - weak faucet water pressure in sink only (shower was great), and you can hear all the noise from outside if someone was talking a little loud in the parking area. I wasn't too bothered by these to be fair. Really enjoyed the stay. Would definitely go back if I am back in the area.

There's a 24-hour Denny's across the street and a pornographic book store just beside the motel. So all of a person's needs are covered. No complementary breakfast, but those are often a disappointment. And if you don't like the vibe, there's a Super8 Motel on the other side. So far, so good!

Uncomfortable.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable and cheap feeling. The parking was also extremely unorganized. The staff however was very kind upon check-in.

There was a backpack when I first checked into my room. Assuming previous person left it , but why wouldn’t housekeeping report the bag. It was very suspicious. Anywho I turned in the bag to front desk but the dude didn’t seem to care.

I asked for a different room once I realized we were booked next to housekeeping. My answer was, “Housekeeping doesn’t come until 9:00.” Thanks.

The property is very clean and staff is very friendly. This is our go to place in Monterey. Only thing is parking is very tight and limited. But other than that great place to stay!

Room was very clean and daily housekeeping thorough. Housekeeping staff very pleasant. Desk staff helpful and pleasant. Only downside was the coffee in the office—didn’t taste like coffee at all.
