Images online do not match the experience. I would not stay here again.

It was very affordable, however the microwave was dirty and the bathroom could use some scrubbing. But it was affordable and the office staff was very very nice and the location was great.
I read a lot of reviews before and after booking here and we had absolutely none of the complaints others had. The room was decent, no frills, pretty clean all around. We got a bottom floor room because we had our small dog, which was great for us. We could hear upstairs walking around a little but it did not bother us. The metal frame on the bed was a bit squeaky, and the bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped, but I still slept soundly. We've stayed down the street from here before and had no problems with homeless or anything like that. Only thing was the price was a bit high, but I'm sure it's to be expected for the time of year and how close it is to the beach. Would definitely stay again for my next Monterey/Carmel trip.
The grounds at this hotel were dirty and smelly. There were not hotel staff on the premises after 10:30 PM. There were people fighting outside our room, and there appeared to be drug deals going on in the parking lot lat at night. The room itself was clean, but the beds were hard and uncomfortable, and the mini-fridge was not cooling effectively.
The room was uncomfortable with nowhere to really sit but a metal chair and a plywood table. The bed was overly hard and pillows flat. The bed was also smaller than the metal frame it sat on. So you would smack your knees when trying to lay down. The toilet in the room cycled every 5 to 10 minutes. The toilet was also not secured to the floor very well and rocked when you sat down.
Floors were filthy dirty, beds very hard and bases were squeaky whenever you move, and WiFi completely unusable. Rooms pet friendly but fees hidden on site when booking so we ending up paying $400 for 2 nights mid week for a very poor hotel.
