Pleasant little hotel

Small and good location hotel, service was good, it was very pleasant to stay there, the only thing not good was the door of the bathroom was very hard to close.

A night in Monterey

Our room and the entire property had been recently remodeled. Everything was clean and nice. We were happy to see that they not only had a refrigerator in the room but also a microwave. The staff were friendly and helpful. The parking is right at your door and there is plenty for all of the rooms. We were sad to see that the pool wasn't quite finished and open but it looked like it will be soon. Our great grandson enjoyed the bathtub and spent a while in it having a good time. The location is great and close to everything. We were surprised that they didn't cost a lot more for the location and how nice the property was. It was a bargain compared to other hotels in the area. I highly recommend this hotel.

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

HERMILO, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was a bit small for us, bathroom was tight to get in. It was overall clean though. You can tell they put so much effort on the outside but the inside was bare. Not many surfaces to place bags or anything. Small towels that don’t wrap around our average sized bodies. The AC works when it wants to. It wasn’t an overall bad stay, but just was expecting something more based on the existing reviews and images of the place.
