Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only had a one night stay while on the road but found this place to be excellent. Rooms were large and comfy. The young man at check in was very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of places nearby including a Trader Joe’s and the price was extremely reasonable for the area. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely book this place again.

Nice rooms, always friendly staff, healthy breakfast in a bag!
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bed was comfortable, which is a big plus, and the room was quiet in spite of being on the same lot as the gas station. Fine for one night's stay and good price. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Kristi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was very clean and the staff was nice. Good breakfast and coffee. When we arrived we were worried because the property is shared with a gas station and they were remodeling so stuff was kinda all over.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was really nice overall. Can tell recently painted and rooms updated. Biggest issue was when asking for fresh towels, the lady at the front seemed like it was an inconvenience. To have a gas station in the parking lot, was very quiet and no issues.
Meghan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly Staff and Convenient Location

The front desk was a bit difficult to find and located in an unusual spot, but the young man at reception was very friendly and helpful. We stayed for two nights, though housekeeping did not service our room during that time. The location is convenient, only about 15 minutes from Monterey, which helps explain the higher rate, though the room itself felt a bit underwhelming for the price. Overall, it was a good experience.
Virginie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean spacious rooms

It served its purpose for the price.
Kim, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place is in the parking lot of a gas station. Breakfast is served in a paper bag. Loud people at the gas station in the middle of the night. Complete disappointment.
Thomas, 2-night trip

Not as bad as I expected. The grab and go breakfast was convenient.
