GREAT room, location, Management, parking, comfortable bed. Very easy to get to and location is great as it is only 2 minutes from Fisherman's Wharf and everything else around there. Very reasonably priced, I was there for 3 nights. Manager was professional & friendly, I drove in from out of town and he let me check in at 10 AM, which is so rare. 1 story so nobody is walking above you.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The hotel was a ripoff. I didn't expect much from a motel and knew that the price would be ridiculous because all hotels in Monterey gouge travelers during car week. But $580 a night for this dump was obscene. There was no closet, no drawers or shelves for clothing, a tiny work table where i had to put all my underwear, socks and belongings, no hair dryer and no coffee maker. Bottled water was $4.50. Worse, I was told at check in I'd have to run hot water in the tub for 5 to 10 minutes before it would be warm for a shower. No joke! I couldn't even get hot water in the sink to just wash my face! TOTAL RIPOFF!!!
The whole place was very clean and the people were very nice. The beds were i think a little older and not really comfortable but fine. The pool was not up and running for us it was alright but maybe others would want to use it. We would stay again
Room was Spartan, but very clean and nice. Was exactly what I wanted - a budget-friendly, comfortable, safe place to sleep for a night as I was passing through. Parking was the only part of my stay that could have been better. Would definitely stay here again.
