5/5 Excellent
"The motel was very clean, and check-in and check-out were smooth. It was a shame that the smell of cigarettes came in at night. The location was good and parking was easy. I slept well."
"This was a quick family getaway and it was so worth it. We visited Monterey aquarium and Carmel which was very close to where we stayed. The location is near everything. Very pleased. The vanity faucet water ran slow but that could be fixed with a twist of a wrench I assume. Other than that Our stay was very pleasant. It was more than I could have expected. Thank you!!"

"Beautiful Hotel located in Monterey, Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, the hotel was a little bit older and unfortunately the hotel did not have a gym at the hotel location despite the high price of the room."
