It's far from a classy place but it's fine for the price. I'll give it 4 stars because it wasn't terrible. The building is old AF and doesn't seem to be well maintained. I definitely wasn't thrilled about the rooms having carpet instead of hardwood. Just for germy reasons. The guy working was cool and the bed was pretty comfy. Though when I went to my car at around midnight there was some homeless guy lingering in the lot acting shady. I had never been to Seaside or Monterey before and I was pretty surprised at how many homeless people there are. So all in all... It's great for the price but that's it

Motel not hotel, but clean and affordable!

Courteous service, great price, close to shopping and not far from the beach. This is a motel like place, not a hotel. So clean but old, no special services you might expect at hotels vs motels.
