We can start with the kid at the desk has a personality of a dead tree log. We got three rooms for five nights each. Our bed had blood stains on it. 227 Room 229 had two pair of worn panties on the shower curtain. They must have a drunk for house cleaning. The second floor has a linen closet left open. It had almost a fifth gone night one. When we left it had a new bottle opened and add with some Rum Chatta. But at least we could get clean towels since the office has banker hours. The phones in the room are for display. You won't call the office or 911. Cops where there half a day searching for someone. The microwave is missing some of the feet so it's all over the place if you try and use it. The refrigerator won't keep anything even below room temp. This was our fourth year staying there. It's been under renovation that long now the renovation needs renovations. We won't ever come back. It's is about as trashy as you can get.

1 night only type of room

Booked two rooms on one reservation. Didn’t have them together. Rooms and lobby have a strange smell. Patio door wouldn’t open. Front door lock was difficult to turn. Beds are rock hard and noisy. Ac in one room wasn’t working properly so the room was stuffy. Definitely could not stay here more than 1 night.

The facilities were pretty nice but the general service was alright. The cleaning quality wasn't the best, you could tell they cleaned but didn't do a very good job. We only stayed one night so I don't know about room service. The minifridge was ridiculously loud, we had to unplug it to be able to sleep and so was the AC like in every motel ever. Pillows were super uncomfortable. I would say besides that it was pretty decent.

Its a good place if you want to stay for a quick night while travelling to nearby area. I booked the room with kitchen - Good Points : The room with kitchen is spacious, staff is quick and responsive, I had an issue with refrigerator leakage, they replaced it quickly. cook tops and cabinets looked fairly new - excellent condition.The beds are comfortable . Food joints are nearby - walking distance.Aquarium is 15-20 min drive only. need improvement : it was clean-ish. no closet space in the room.The coffee maker was full of dust. Since i booked 2 rooms - it was assumed that i wont be needing utensils in one - so one room had only a pan.other one had everything including saucepan, spatula, spoons etc. you might need to carry airfreshener for the bathroom, since there is no ventilation.

The stay was okay, but I felt a bit let down by the cleanliness—it could have been better. The noise level was a bit high at times. The only positive was the location—it was conveniently close to Carmel.

I would say that it’s a good enough stay if you just need some sleep and a shower. But, when we walked in, the blinds were completely broken missing panels, crayon and sharpie was all over the headboards, and a couple other things. The man that checked us in was nice, but this room is perfect if you just need to get by at an “affordable price”.

I read a lot of reviews before and after booking here and we had absolutely none of the complaints others had. The room was decent, no frills, pretty clean all around. We got a bottom floor room because we had our small dog, which was great for us. We could hear upstairs walking around a little but it did not bother us. The metal frame on the bed was a bit squeaky, and the bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped, but I still slept soundly. We've stayed down the street from here before and had no problems with homeless or anything like that. Only thing was the price was a bit high, but I'm sure it's to be expected for the time of year and how close it is to the beach. Would definitely stay again for my next Monterey/Carmel trip.
