This hotel was nasty. One of my rooms smelled so bad of cigarette smoke. The floors, walls, refrigerator, and curtains were filthy. There was a hole in the wall at the tub faucet. The floors were still dirty after being mopped. The food I put in the refrigerator smelled so bad when I was getting ready for checkout. This place is disgusting.
The first room was really dirty. Old soap in shower, dusty floors, and there was floss on the floor. Old toilet paper in bathroom and room was without coffee supplies and toiletries.
Part of the room was not painted and put together. Requested to change rooms.
The night clerk was very short tempered with the lady checking in prior to me. He told her her room was on the 3rd floor so she asked where the elevator was, he said there was no elevator and she said “oh we have suitcases and an ice chest” he responded back “ it is ONLY 10 stairs ma’am” she said that was a challenge and he said if it’s a problem I will help you - in a very patronizing way. She was older and this tone was not necessary. She had asked if the there was coffee and he said kind of snarky “yes we have coffee”. Then he explained where she could park - in the back dark parking area which would be closer to her “10” stairs up. He then checked me in and I didn’t bother asking any questions except how much the room was since he removed the dog charge as I didn’t have a dog, he said he couldn’t tell me that. And again he tried to get me to park around the back and I only had to go down 5 stairs. BS - when I part closer to my room which was 13 stairs up, I did walk to where he said to park and it was no means closer, safer, or down 5 stairs.
Moving on - the grounds were filthy, garbage every where. I did see clerk in their gym doing something- I did not lurk, but he should have or someone should have been walking the grounds picking up all the trash. I understand there are homeless people around so measures should be taken to guard the property and keep it clean. The hot tub was drained and not running. The toilet in our room was not flushed. No soap in dispenser.
The hotel's condition is terrible. And maybe they underpay the cleaners. I'd like to understand. I've attached a photo of the bathroom extractor. Everything was there, really. I would never return. The beds were super hard. It was two very difficult nights.

2 night stay in Monterey
It was an easy access room, super comfortable bed, great service! The only downside was the very small, low toilet.
The only things I did not like about the property is the attention to detail when cleaning the rooms. We found hair strands in our beds which makes me think that perhaps sheets weren’t change as well as hai found under the sink area. Not to mention towels were stained and very small. Coffee maker was not cleaned out as there was a coffee pod left In there from a previous customer. This hotel will not be my choice next time I’m in the area. I will rather pay extra to stay at another hotel or on the next town over in Salinas as it’s a short drive to Monterey.
Check in took for ever, Room looked Nice but then I pulled the covers and found long strands of black hair in the sheets, hair was also found in the shower wall, drain in the tub was full of hair also.
