Andy was very friendly at the front desk upon check in, check in was fast and easy. The room and bathroom was very clean and well maintained. This hotel is taken care of a lot more than some of the others around the hotels. I will definitely be looking forward to staying here again!

Very good for the price
First the positives: Andy at the front desk provided wonderful customer service, the room was very clean, firm bed, and the water pressure was great! Cons: minor repairs to the room needed (tub and floor, limited electrical outlets for charging devices, and the walls were paper thin (with a fully booked motel). Also, location has spotty internet, even when using the motels WiFi. All in all, it was good for one night.

The room needed updating. The walls had paint missing in some areas. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Our room was upstairs and no lift! The price didn’t match the quality of the accommodation. We checked out after one night and found another hotel for the same price in Monterey.

Hotel meets the minimum needs of guests. This is an older hotel that can benefit from some updates but it is clean, safe, and close to many things for you to see and do.

I think everything was excellent except the a/c and heater need to be updated. Some remodeling of the room with new carpet or flooring would be nice also. The room and bathroom was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The man working there, Andy, was very friendly and accommodating.

Simple
Simple clean room, thin walls so you can hear everything but it was fine at night. The only issue I had was the door doesn’t have a deadbolt, just a lock on the knob and it didn’t seem too safe. Everything was clean though and nice for the price

Excellent for the price and location!
This place is definitely family owned! I'm not sure if the older gentleman was the owner or manager but he had his granddaughter waiting for a video call from overseas ❤️ it was so sweet! They have doggie biscuits for your vacationing furry family members. There is also the sweetest cutest little dog there sometimes! The lobby smells lovely, like incense and roses. The room was on the smaller side but you absolutely cannot beat it for the price and the location. It has a nice little wall heater that kept us toasty and we had no issues with the TV reception or the WiFi.Very very clean with attentive housekeeping! It's right across the street from Del Monte Center, and DMC is basically THE mall for the Monterey Peninsula. Be prepared for a little noise, this is right next to the biggest shopping center in the area and it's an older property so the walls are thinner. But it's entirely worth it. We will definitely be staying here again!

This is the cutest older motel around. I called and told them we would be in late, so they arranged for our key to be in a lockbox. The room is cute, I love love love the fireplace, it is gas, so no smoke smell. It is very quiet and the staff was super friendly. We will definitely stay here again.
