The service was good. Nothing to complain about. The room was great and in great condition. It has most of the thing you would expect in a motel room. The microwave and flat screen tv were a big plus. The motel is very close to a local mall. On downside was that the walls were kind of thin that you... More

The color scheme is brown brown brown. Two queen beds crowd the room and one is right up against the heater. Window opens if you wish, but it's right next to the bed and outside is the walkway and the cars (the motel is one storey). The lights outside the rooms shine brightly all night so you don't get any... More

I stayed only one night for business travel. This hotel was very comfortable. It was only 3 miles to the aquarium, quite location, close to the shopping mall, however a stay fee was cheep and included an internet and a breakfast. Front staff was very friendly and kindly. I will stay here in next time. More

I made my reservation effortlessly on line five days in advance of my arrival and at the time several rooms were still available. When I checked in, I was given Rm #8 in the corner, which has neither a window nor any kind of in-room temperature control/air conditioner/heater. The window I did not really miss--I didn't get a room here... More

For a basic motel (park in front of the door), you can't find a better bargain. I paid the published rate of $45/nite. However, I was there during the week. The room had recently been renovated tastefully. My only qualm is those wall mounted a/c-heater, which can be noisy. I travel with a small room heater, which is silent. So,... More

This was the cheapest hotel of our hotel of our whole trip to California - I wish they had all been as good as this. The room was large as was the bed, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was great, just what you need to start the day. Staff were lovely, couldn't find anything to fault. Highly recommend. More

Clean, modern and good value, comfortable beds. We even stayed an extra night. It's a little bit noisy but as it's on the main road, it's to be expected. We easily walked into Monterey every day. We would stay there again. More
