Decent enough
The room was Bear-bones but clean enough. The beds are on a string frame & noisy. The bottom of the bed frame is maybe sheet metal? So heavy movement or bumping it is very loud. It was fine for an overnight but for several days it was not our fav of roadside inns.

Convenient and clean!
Stayed here for Caliroots festival. It was a really easy walk to and from the festival, had safe parking, and was clean and quiet at night for some great rest in between long days. Will absolutely stay here again for the festival. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed at the property for a race weekend at Laguna Seca. Can't beat the convenience, plus a great experience for the price. Place is a little old but very clean and well maintained. We felt safe leaving our sports car in the parking lot in front of the room. A short drive to great authentic local restaurants with a ton more 10 minutes away in Monterey.

Ok just to rest but won’t come back
This was a VERY frugal option. No hair dryer, discolored white towels, spotty working cable, ice machine barely making ice if any and room was not ready at 5pm check in. Parking was a problem coming back after 5pm, there was none. Police activity(8 cops) in rooms near me when returned from dinner on the warf. Literally only giving 2 stars because we didn’t pay that much.
