It was very affordable, however the microwave was dirty and the bathroom could use some scrubbing. But it was affordable and the office staff was very very nice and the location was great.

Not the best room. The bed frame sounded like it was going to fall apart and the shower did not drain properly, it was flooding while taking a shower.

I would say that it’s a good enough stay if you just need some sleep and a shower. But, when we walked in, the blinds were completely broken missing panels, crayon and sharpie was all over the headboards, and a couple other things. The man that checked us in was nice, but this room is perfect if you just need to get by at an “affordable price”.

Gross. Felt unsafe, right next to a liquor store and sketchy people just sitting in the parking lot all night. It is around car dealerships, but down the street is a target and some food places like Five Guys and Starbucks. The convenience is the only nice part. Room smelled terrible and had stains on the sheets, toilet and walls. Would not stay here again. Internet never worked even when connected, it says no internet.

It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.

The facilities were pretty nice but the general service was alright.
The cleaning quality wasn't the best, you could tell they cleaned but didn't do a very good job. We only stayed one night so I don't know about room service.
The minifridge was ridiculously loud, we had to unplug it to be able to sleep and so was the AC like in every motel ever. Pillows were super uncomfortable.
I would say besides that it was pretty decent.

I use the ADA room because of my size and the shower was perfect. Shower size was perfectly just what I needed.

Convenient location as it is centered by local shopping centers such as target, Costco, home goods and food places, about 10min drive from old fisherman’s wharf, 15-20min drive from aquarium.
The place is on a Main Street so you do hear from time to time loud cars but overall quiet. Rooms come with the essentials needs such as bathroom and a bed to sleep however not updated or modern to say, did have ac or heater, tv channels, fridge and microwave, majority was clean besides some hairs in the restroom
FYI restaurant next door Gusto, very good definitely recommend pizza and pasta was delicious

The grounds at this hotel were dirty and smelly. There were not hotel staff on the premises after 10:30 PM. There were people fighting outside our room, and there appeared to be drug deals going on in the parking lot lat at night. The room itself was clean, but the beds were hard and uncomfortable, and the mini-fridge was not cooling effectively.

The staff was very polite. Unfortunately the room we got had a kitchenette and the drawers had old debris, like a dirty cutting board and moldy garlic from past guests.

Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.

Its a good place if you want to stay for a quick night while travelling to nearby area.
I booked the room with kitchen -
Good Points : The room with kitchen is spacious, staff is quick and responsive, I had an issue with refrigerator leakage, they replaced it quickly. cook tops and cabinets looked fairly new - excellent condition.The beds are comfortable . Food joints are nearby - walking distance.Aquarium is 15-20 min drive only.
need improvement : it was clean-ish. no closet space in the room.The coffee maker was full of dust. Since i booked 2 rooms - it was assumed that i wont be needing utensils in one - so one room had only a pan.other one had everything including saucepan, spatula, spoons etc.
you might need to carry airfreshener for the bathroom, since there is no ventilation.
