“Better than what I expected for what I paid.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Small hotel with a small parking lot. The staff at check in was really nice. We didn't have a reservation, just took a drive to see where it led us and needed a cheap place to stay overnight. I paid under $55 for the room on a weeknight and all I wanted was safe and clean which is what we got. There is a pool and the outdoor landscaping has a cottagey feel. The beds were comfortable, bedding and room in general was clean, the room had a mini-fridge and microwave; shower/bathroom was clean (the shower stall still had evidence of a good scrubbing with Comet).

I would have given this place a 5 out of 5, but it only gets a 4 because the carpets looked clean, but later figured out I should have been wearing my flip-flops around the room. Our feet got dirty from the carpet. That probably might freak some people out, but I took it in stride remembering how little I paid for the room.

Not for couples wanting a romantic getaway but good for people on a budget. It's a short drive from the Wharf or aquarium and across the street from a large shopping center.

We it started with a demand for $150 incase someone smoked in the room and $100 for incidentals....what incidentals??? These are bargain basement rooms. Next they didn't honor the rate from Kayak. The rooms are quite small, no shampoo ect. Clean thats a plus.

Room came with microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Motel is super small only 20 rooms, even smaller parking lot! In essense its a good deal, overall clean- checked under bed and sheets to double check! Bathrooms were recently remodeled, big plus! Only complaint is to bring earplugs, walls are super thin!!

“Convenient and unexpensive road hotel”

We did a little shopping before, but we haven't made our reservations for our stop in our Pacific Coastal Highway trip, as we were clueless on where we could reach. As it was dark in big sur, I decided to reack monterey.

The Place is clean, a tad little, but we could get a 2 bed room.

The best were the poppy muffins for breakfast.
