It’s an OK hotel.
Kristopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The bed and the pillows were very comfortable
Cecilia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

If you are looking for a place to just sleep and shower while in the area, this is it. It's an older property that could use some renovations to freshen it up. The area is relatively quiet, and there are some food places within walking distance.
Lawrence, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and affordable
Jesus, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For about $100/night this place was great. Fridge and microwave, plenty of close parking, felt safe enough. Pool was dirty so we didn't want to use it which was a bummer but the room was fine.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay clean and quiet
Amanda, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

overpriced for area, at $228 on Sat night; and uniquely cheap "white colorant" packet provided for coffee in place of a creamer packet!! Old, plain, clean Bed was comfortable

Dale, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

The bedding was full of holes; surrounding smell like laundry.
Hendrik, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms were basic but clean, but the hotel did not feel safe. The motel corridors are exposed, and it was a terrible fight in the middle of the night
vyacheslav, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Property need a lot of cleaning and very old looking rooms
Ricardo, 1-night trip

Michelle, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was super clean & a smooth check in
Damaris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property was actually perfect for what I wanted. I just needed to stay one night near Monterey and a clean and affordable room. This fit the bill. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful. It’s an older property and so a tad shabby in spots, but it was clean and that was what mattered to me.
Meryl, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very noisy you could hear everything
Jackie, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

No food options either there or in the immediate area. No coffee to be found anywhere. Not even in our room. We had to complain to get a tiny coffee maker in our room. I guess these folks don’t believe in the coffee experience. Room was cold and bare tile floor but clean and we did feel safe. Bed was at least comfortable..
Robin, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

No soap. 2 towels. No internet. Chipped painted tub. Doors are all peeling on the interior. Exterior needs a good sweeping.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff was friendly. Bathroom smelled of car fumes. Not sure if the air was being pulled in from the parking lot? Bathroom door was broken, bathroom tile was broken.
Karen, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lady, 1-night trip
