We stayed here one night to visit Point Lobos and Carmel next day. It was a clean motel with microwave and mini fridge. Very close to Monterey Fisherman's Wharf, less than 10 minutes drive. More

We stayed overnight in seaside to avoid higher hotel rates in Monterey.....It was a clean,average motel room including frige &microwave. great for an overnight stay. It was a block behind the main drag where most of the other motels were , so it was quiet. They provided toast,juice, coffee , danish,&waffles in ther small lobby with a couple of tables.... More

Stayed in this hotel as a stop on a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. The hotel is close to restaurants and shops, including a grocery store, and a short drive to Monterey. Large room with a microwave and fridge and a free breakfast. Close to beach and right off highway. Impressed for the price and motel style. More

I am convinced that the reviews on this website were posted by employees because they in no way mirror the experience I just had with Shirley Garcia, the agent I just spoke to. I called to cancel a reservation according to their 48 hour cancellation policy and all she kept telling me was that I had to contact Booking.com even... More

Impossible to get around without a car - a couple of miles from the main action in Monterey Overall: Most would stop in... More

I agree with the positive comments from other reviewers. It is clean and spacious. We had no problem with wi-fi. Speed was fast enough. It was quiet. The bed was good enough. Convenient location. Con: 1. They have orange night-light. Kind of weird. 2. No milk serving for the breakfast. 3. Cigerette holes on the blanket. They have spent money... More

Very reasonable motel, $60 total, for this coastal community on a Friday night. Lots of remodeling has been done. New tiled bathroom very nice. Fresh and colorful paint in bedroom. Could hear noise at times from people passing outside the window but no noise through walls. Nice king bed. Fridge & microwave. What was great was they had a waffle... More

Wow, where do I began? When I first got in the room, there were 3 flies and 1 huge misquito flying around that I could not get rid of. Took me 15 minutes to chase them out of a tiny room. Then, I tried to access the WiFi via my phone and couldn't get it at all. I couldn't even... More

Worst location in town. You can hear people talking in every room, cars passing by, everything. The room was old and the mattress dirty. A real nightmare. More
