Restroom needs a face lift
Picked this room because of the picture of the bed and ceiling but that restroom needs some serious update.

Clean room, awesome atmosphere inside the room. BUT pillows sucked, and the water pressure in the shower was TERRIBLE. Overall great experience especially for the price for 2 nights.

This is my go to location when I stay in the Monterey area, which I do frequently. Great pricing, easy parking, excellent location, and the room is perfect: comfortable bed, good shower, good AC, which are the 3 things I look for in a motel.

Absolutely loved this hotel and I’m a hotel snob. It was like a row of little chalets. Spotlessly clean inside and a lovely spacious room. Ice machine was right outside our front. Free parking and close to a few fast food restaurants. About a mile away from Monterey Harbour. I will def stay here again if I’m in the area. Loved it!!
