This is my go to location when I stay in the Monterey area, which I do frequently. Great pricing, easy parking, excellent location, and the room is perfect: comfortable bed, good shower, good AC, which are the 3 things I look for in a motel.

Cute little place, rooms were very nice and clean. Stayed two times and loved it each time. They cleaned my room when I was not around, some time in the afternoon. Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this hotel and I’m a hotel snob. It was like a row of little chalets. Spotlessly clean inside and a lovely spacious room. Ice machine was right outside our front. Free parking and close to a few fast food restaurants. About a mile away from Monterey Harbour. I will def stay here again if I’m in the area. Loved it!!

The room was clean, staff friendly, convenient for dining and location easy access from freeway. Some areas for improvement - better bath towels (more than one per quest), waste basket in both bathroom and shower areas would be nice. The room price was not proportionate to the value added.
