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.

Exceptionally clean, updated rooms. No frills. Check-in was swift and simple. Was within close range of cannery row and the aquarium. Didn't get to use the pool but it looked well kept. The only thing I'll say that bothered me was the lights next to the window staying on all night and shinning through the slats (no curtains) making it seem like the sun was up because of how bright it stayed in the room. We would probably stay here again though.

Parking if you come after 5 you may park away from your room. Parking is not assigned by room number. If you’re coming in late you will have to navigate through the property to find a spot for parking.

Great location and lovely staff, but it was extremely expensive for the type of place it was. My family and I stayed in the middle of the week as well.
The parking lot was being worked on so that posed an issue with us being able to have our vehicle in the second half of the motel where our room was.
The digital door lock system they have instead of keys malfunctioned multiple times and the shower would not drain properly. There is also a very large random dip in the concrete at the bottom of the stairs which is a major safety concern. We will most likely not stay here again.

Room key needed to be reset a few times. I think the battery in the auto-lock was needing changed. Otherwise will book again soon.

Room was good size, and clean. Dead zone for cell phones tho. Heated pool was not heated, that was the main reason for staying there for the kids to swim but didn’t even use it, too cold. Good location, easy to get everywhere

We stayed 4 nights. The room is very small but clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. There is some airport noise, but only during the day and we didn't find it a problem. The staff was very helpful. It is in a very convenient location and the price was excellent for a stay in Monterey Peninsula. We liked being able to drive right up to the room. Nice flowers throughout the property.

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!

This is a very barebones place, but the price was great and the location was good. It was just a stopover on a Pacific Coast Highway road trip. It was also very clean.

We always travel as a family of 6 and it is extremely important for us to be able to book a room to accommodate all of us. The heated pool is a plus and we always use it.

Close to freeway and eateries. Room was clean. A few things would have made our stay better, shower head was extremely calcified and our bathroom door was very difficult to open and close. Also, the bath towels were meant for kids not adults.

Shower water stopped several times during check out for family of 5. Front staff blamed volume of guests showering at the same time. Beds offered no comfort just a mattress on wooden dry board.

Positive: housekeeper was great and swapped out towels daily.

The room was clean, organized and had plenty of towels and all the usual amenities. We enjoyed the coffee.
The water pressure was very low, weak flow. The windows lacked black-out curtains. Balcony lights poured through the wooden louvered blinds. Refrigerator was too cold. It froze our water.

The room was clean, but it smelled like old sewer. It was so bad we had to buy a candle. The hotel is in the flight path of jets taking off. The floors are so thin, we could hear the people above us talking and using the bathroom. All 3 nights were sleepless. The pool is so cold we could not put our feet in it.

This location gives very good value for the price. The room was clean and attractive. It had obviously been modernized. The host was very gracious. I only stayed one night, but my experience was very good. There is also a nice-looking covered pool that was being used when I was there. A nice amenity. I appreciated having the fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room.

Also, a courtyard motel, there were lovely roses by almost every door entering into a room. I loved that! And just two stairs to get to the door, which is always appreciated. I would stay there again.
