The room was very clean, the only thing that I didn’t like was the sheets were the small for the bed, the water pressure was very low
But overall it was a nice place

The suite room was modern, and clean, but a/c only reached the front room. The back bedroom was too warm. The website says there is free breakfast, there is not, nor is there a coffee pot in the room. You have to get coffee in the office. It also says there is a restaurant on site, there most definitely is not. We also think there should be stationary chairs, not just rolling computer chairs, for safety. Older people can't use them safely. Manager was very nice, but we didn't get room service, trash removal or new towels. Parking can be a challenge due to parking lot and space size. The suite is a great option, but too many negatives. Location is not far from town.

The hotel and room were clean and comfortable. Pretty bare bones accomodations but everything was good. The fridge in the room was a good size and having a microwave is always helpful. I didn't see a vending machine which would have been nice for water bottles but I didn't look for it that hard. I would stay again, the location was great. Right between downtown and del monte center

Cute little rooms, good mattress, nice bedding, well maintained with pretty flowerboxes out front. Nothing fancy, but the owner clearly cares about the place and takes care of it. He's a chatty guy, but really helpful and friendly. We liked it!

Great motel for a great price! Very clean and near the main area of Monterey. I would definitely stay here again. If you stay here, I recommend staying on the top floor if you can because the ceiling is thin and I could hear the neighbors above when I stayed on the bottom floor.

We stayed at this motel for one night and found it to be okay for a short visit, especially if you are planning to explore Monterey or Carmel-by-the-Sea. The room was fairly basic and had a chair with a visible stain, which could be improved. I also preferred to use my own blanket for comfort. It was a bit noisy at times, but overall it was acceptable for a quick overnight stay given the convenient location.

Room was clean, but no coffee, no anything except wall mounted soap dispensers. Looks like it had been remodeled on an DIY basis. Utterly without charm. Forensic bright LED recessed lights glared when lights were turned on. No lamps. Goodwill level furniture shoved wherever it would fit. Left room service tag on door but no service received. Frankly not better than Motel 6. Expected more for the price. Will not return.

didn’t come to the room to give your items you have to come down to the office and get stuff from the dudes wife who is very slow paced. they don’t offer room cleaning on one day. microwave didn’t work at all. dirty bed sheets and pillows. tv ask if someone can connect to the tv(very weird). metal part to the shower head connection to the wall is broken. toilets are backed up after peeing and using 3 pieces of toliet paper; “ the toilets have been having a lot of complains” i had to go down to meet the lady to get a plunger which was very dirty and she had ME take it upstairs in a garbage bag. limited parking “ you must park forward all the way til your tire touches the curb”. found dead bed bugs. floors are dirty and people who live in back of the hotel are loud. Also I did not receive my 100$ deposit btw we had no text saying any property was damaged and we didn’t use anything from the amenities not that they even had snacks anything extra in there for purchase.

This place was perfect. We stayed one night and it served its purpose well. The check in clerk was very pleasant and helpful. Hotel was close to everything. Only thing is we couldn’t have ac on because it was too close to bed and we didn’t want to wake up sick, so it got a bit stuffy. But all in all it was a great hotel. We would definitely be back.

The hotel was great for a short trip - cute and very affordable. Parking lot and flower boxes all looked well kept - very welcoming.
Basic amenities but fit our needs. There is coffee in the office. We could have used a bit more soap and shampoo - the dispensers were almost empty. Towels were not luxurious- but ok, would have been bothered by this in colder season.

Very basic room. Few amenities. Not even a TP holder in the bathroom. No chair to sit in besides a cheap roller office chair. No lamps besides harsh overhead pot lights. So so bed and clean but thin, low grade bedding. Room was clean but not really very comfortable. Ok for the price I guess.

Standard cookie cutter Munras Ave Monterey tourist trap. Large room, spartan/worn furnishings. Management customer service appalling, beyond atrocious. If I could give zero star this establishment merits zero stars. Do yourself a huge favor, stay elsewhere.

Great location but other similar places we’ve stayed in the area had much better amenities (coffee maker in the room, conditioner in addition to shampoo). Not sure that we would come back and will likely stick to other motels of the same level we’ve tried in the past. Staff were nice enough.

The rooms were extremely clean and staff were very helpful. The only issue is that the walls are a bit thin and there is some road traffic nearby but other than that it was a lovely stay. I would just recommend maybe bringing some of those soft earplugs to help you sleep. You can’t beat the price though for this area.
