4/10 Fair

Do not recommend this place

The staff were woundevrful. But the stay was awful. Because on arrival half the drapery and rod were on the bed. No washcloths, trash cans, or kleenex provided in room. The vending machines did not work. TV didnt work. Bucket for ice provided howerver they had removed their ice machine. Owners had dog tied outside that barked ALOT. And the walls between the rooms werer very thin. Noise from other roomseemed like they were in our room with us. Only redeeming quality was the staff

Bill, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Check-in/check-out was easy process. The rooms need a lot of renovations. Cigarette burn marks everywhere, non-smoking rooms smell like smoke, floor was uneven and coming apart,.
Arvin, 1-night trip

Bruce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bed and a shower, convenient free parking, friendly and fast check in, slow Wifi. No coffee facilities in room or on site. But it was cheap.
Allan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great rate for a last minute, one night stay, in Monterey. Bed was clean as was the rest of the room. Unfortunately, the bath tub wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as the rest of the room. Other than that, it was a good value for short notice on a weekend.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

George M, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Easy parking. Room was okay. Toilet was leaking in bathroom a little unsanitary. Talked to the office manager. He said he would give me a discount but haven't received any info yet .
Luis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I would say you get what you pay for this area. The room was kind of gross . However the staff was extremely friendly and helpful ! If you are light sleeper the airplanes flying over top will be waking you up throughout night
THOMAS, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room itself was dirty. The room smelled like cigarettes and there were cigarette holes everywhere (including the sheets). Stains on every towel, even after getting new ones. Bedsheets were stained too. I gave it 2 stars because I was shocked there were no bed bugs.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was definitely affordable thats a plus but there was a weird smell outside and the noise was unreal
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was very dirty, no towels, no pillows, ac didn’t work, cockroaches and hair everywhere before entering.
Carmen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was old and not cleaned well. Definitely a low star hotel. HOWEVER, the staff was VERY nice/friendly and it is located less than a block from the fairgrounds which is what we were there to visit.
Christina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolutely disgusting. Every hard surface was visibly dirty. The linens were stained. Towels has several stray hairs. Several nearby rooms had Condemned signs on the door.
T. J., 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My room smelled like urine. No toilet paper or soap in the room - had to ask the front desk. Towels were dirty, I’m glad I had my own. Smoke detector hang from the ceiling with wires exposed. If I could’ve gotten a refund I would have gone somewhere else.
Sabrina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor
