The service seems great as our check in was easy and smooth. Very nice front desk attendant. The location is quiet, which is great. The free parking was a plus.
We were fine with simple amenities, but where we were unhappy was the cleanliness and bed comfort. The base boards and corners were not clean. I understand it’s 2 star level motel, but it was gross to see hair and lint plastered to the base boards. There was a long hair on the wall in the bathroom and a previous guest’s eye mask near the bed. My husband told me afterwards that he picked black hairs (long hair) off the sheets. He didn’t tell me as he knew I would freak out although if he had I would have discussed this with the front desk our first night. The bath towels smelled. The bed was hard, which meant back pain all night long. Maybe some rooms were better than others, but for $414 + $20 more once checked in for 2 nights…it’s a lot for what we experienced. I know it’s spring break, Monterey, and inflation, but still can’t justify. We checked out before night 2 as we decided we would rather be home.
