10/10 Exceptional

Great Experience!

Nice room for the price! Definitely would come here again!
Jamie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Road hard and put away wet

The only way to describe this property is rough. The room was clean enough to stay, but aside from that everything was old and haggard and location left a lot to be desired.
Matthew, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible run down place.

The room had no chairs, just an old table and bed, coffee maker did not work, shower did not have hot water, the bed was so uncomfortable we left after 1st night, would never stay there again, run down, when asked for chairs said no one asked for chairs and brought us I desk chair.

Mee, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.
Marc, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DO NOT RECOMMEND

I would not recommend this motel. Our room was a non-smoking room, yet smelled of smoke. The room had beat up furniture and did not appear clean and was poorly lit. No lamps or plugs to charge phones. The bed was terrible, extremely hard as if sleeping on a board. The bathroom was dirty. The heater was noisy. It did not have amenities like an iron or hair dryer. Even though listing said it had hair dryer in the room. The motel did not have liners for the ice bucket either, so unsanitary.

Samantha, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty the sheets were dirty the furniture was falling apart worst place iv stayed not worth$105.00 and then they had the nerve to ask for 100.00 deposit just in case we miss up the room highly don't recommend this place
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The proprietors were extremely warm and friendly people.
Leslie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was nothing like it was described! Sounded cool from description but it was a dumpy hotell. Not even an ice machine. Key didn't work several times It is a good location but a Motel 6 would have much better. We really wished we hadn't booked 2 nights. We really didn't want to go back second night. Ive never stayed in such crummy hotel and I've stayed in a lot of cheap hotels
Kathi, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting and nothing as pictured. Reeked of cheap air freshener and cigarette burns in comforter
Angelia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible. Just a terrible place to stay at. Got 2 rooms and they both stunk, literally. Each room had 1 SMALL round fluorescent light by the entrance, that's it. So the rooms have this gloomy, depressing vibe especially at night.
ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay and would come again.

John, 2-night trip

George M, 3-night trip

Needs renovation.
Leticia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Check-in/check-out was easy process. The rooms need a lot of renovations. Cigarette burn marks everywhere, non-smoking rooms smell like smoke, floor was uneven and coming apart,.
Arvin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient to Monterey fairgrounds. Clean but run down. Thought I had booked the sister hotel across the street but got put in the dumpy place across the street. Never again.
Peggy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great rate for a last minute, one night stay, in Monterey. Bed was clean as was the rest of the room. Unfortunately, the bath tub wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as the rest of the room. Other than that, it was a good value for short notice on a weekend.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bed and a shower, convenient free parking, friendly and fast check in, slow Wifi. No coffee facilities in room or on site. But it was cheap.
Allan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Lumpy mattress. Thin towels. Noisey heater/cooler. Thin walls between units... can hear people next door.
