4/10 Fair

Room looked like it was made up, but was dirty when we arrived. Paint/wall material was falling off the walls in spots. The small chair in the room was very stained to the point you would not want to sit in it... attempted to flip the cushion over and found vape pens and garbage. The bathroom was nice, but looked like it was pieced together with different types of materials. The floor was soggy in spots. Cleaned the room with handy wipes and either found blood or red paint on the night stand. We were not able to cancel b/c of the busy weekend. Staff were pleasant to talk to initially. You're only allowed one car, or they will charge you for additional. No screens on the windows. Not recommended to stay here.

2/10 Poor

Room was very disappointing for the money. I have stayed at beautiful rooms with great amenities for same $. The furniture was old, chipped and not well placed in room cutting off a section of room. No phone, hangars, Bed thin matress. Homeless hanging around top parking lot, I was very uncomfortable. Very unhappy no refund . I chose not to stay and lost my $. I would not recommend.

It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.

Smallish property. Competitive rates. Good people working hard. after a stay at another nearby location that was bait and switch...these folks and the young giy at the desk on friday about 6 was refreshing

Road hard and put away wet

The only way to describe this property is rough. The room was clean enough to stay, but aside from that everything was old and haggard and location left a lot to be desired.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!

Great rate for a last minute, one night stay, in Monterey. Bed was clean as was the rest of the room. Unfortunately, the bath tub wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as the rest of the room. Other than that, it was a good value for short notice on a weekend.
