Especially for the cost of this room I was pleasantly surprised how neat, clean, comfortable, and well stocked it was. Being a blitz trip and wanting a cheap but nice room for my family, I was very impressed with this room!

Love this hotel
This hotel is amazing g super friendly nice clean rooms for a great price this is my go to hotel for the area have stayed there multiple times
Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stop for the night
Nicely refurbished old school motel. King bed was fine, rooms smaller than modern hotels, but it was clean and well maintained. Exterior of motel looks fresh and has a tasteful early California vibe; has a slight 50’s feel. My wife and I liked the whiff of vintage. Indoor pool smart idea for Monterey weather. Only con is that it is in the airport’s flight path, but only one late afternoon flight was observed, so not a deal breaker.

Nice surprise
Check in attendant was polite & made check in smooth. For the price we were not sure what to expect. Room was surprisingly bright and clean. The bed was comfortable. AC & heater was nice not loud like most. The cleaning staff did not make a loud ruckus like so many other places we have stayed, they were quiet & very polite. Pool was clean & refreshing. Water pressure & temp were on point! We will be returning

Comfortable has a covered pool and easy
Great value for the money. The pool wasn't super warm but definitely swimmable in February. Room had everything needed and was modern and comfortable. Don't usually stay at motels but was very happy and satisfied (booked because of pool)
