I read a lot of reviews before and after booking here and we had absolutely none of the complaints others had. The room was decent, no frills, pretty clean all around. We got a bottom floor room because we had our small dog, which was great for us. We could hear upstairs walking around a little but it did not bother us. The metal frame on the bed was a bit squeaky, and the bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped, but I still slept soundly. We've stayed down the street from here before and had no problems with homeless or anything like that. Only thing was the price was a bit high, but I'm sure it's to be expected for the time of year and how close it is to the beach. Would definitely stay again for my next Monterey/Carmel trip.
