The manager, Mitesh, was amazing! The motel/rooms were extremely clean and well-maintained. Beds were comfortable and bedding was super soft. There is one washer and dryer on site as well and an awesome espresso/latte/cafe americano/coffee machine at the front desk. Would not hesitate to stay here again, simply superb!

8/10 Very good

Hotel is in a great location with easy access to everything around Monterey for a great price. The room was spacious and everything very comfortable. Unfortunately we were on the first floor and the people above us got up at 6am. The footsteps really carry. The pool looked nice but the outside temps were in the upper 60s and the pool was maybe in the lower 70s so that was too cold for us. Free espresso drinks in the lobby was a nice bonus. We tried to do laundry but there is one washer and drier for the entire hotel... And it was always in use. Overall a good stay.
