You are right in the middle of everything cool about Monterey. I'm a light sleeper and I slept great. Professional staff no problems. Clean tub, good WiFi. I will stay here again.
Management and staff are amazing. We had some issues with our online booking and they were super accommodating! The room is clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again next time we're in town.
Nice quiet well maintained place. Reasonable pricing. I suggest that you deal directly with the owner for bookings. Sal is a reasonable and fair person. When I come to the Monterey peninsula this is where I stay.
Modest place with exactly what I needed. Was served (by the owner) the most amazing shrimp pasta upon completing the wonderful smell. Thanks, economy!
Basic economy hotel, easy to check in, nice staff. Not a beautiful resort. Stuff will be broken but definitely worth it for easy check in even without a credit card and close to the lowest prices in the area
Overall everything was as presented, clean big comfortable rooms and beds slept well, and felt safe with easy access to eating, beaches, shopping, and sites. The staff was great and friendly.
Absolutely , without a doubt, my 5 night stay was so enjoyable due to new management/owners. The gentleman at front desk, Shiv, was so kind, considerate, professional and respectful. The maid was also so kind and helpful. This place has done a 360° turn for the better! I would highly recommend to family and friends. The rates were exactly what I was quoted over the phone.They have the best and lowest rates for the Monterey Peninsula. Everything u need on your vacation is in walking distance.
The room was clean the staff was extremely nice and the beds were comfortable. No whistles and whammies but it was a nice motel. I would definitely stay here again. It is small but who comes to a motel to stay the whole time in the room.
The cheap room rate is a blessing. The beds are clean and comfortable but the ceiling in the bathroom does have some mold. Management is nice and the location is prime. Parking is a bit tight.
Management has been great to me. Very friendly service, rooms are clean and comfortable. Very difficult to find housing in this area and I had to stay longer than expected and they have been very accommodating and understanding. Even trying to assist with leads. Convenient location, close to everything.
