8/10 Very good

Close by to the Seaotter Classic

Good value for 2 nights. Room is clean, close to Laguna Seca, nearby restaurants and Costco, to fill up before heading home.

6/10 Good

The picture on hotels.com of the hotel is very deceiving. The beds were the most uncomfortable things we have ever slept on They had the bathtub faucet caped off. However, the man at the front desk was very nice and brought us towels to our room. So A+ on customer service.

Safety/no

Well let's say the view is way better online, when you see the place upon arrival you're like hmm interesting.... The outside is full of junk not clean at all, the office is smelly not sure what the smell was. The stairs are dirty with the birds around they should be pressure was the areas for sanitary purposes. Then you enter the room, dirty as in chairs not wiped down sticky stuff Im not sure if boogers or what it was,t owel in the shower, Floors felt dirty. The bathroom door didn't lock, the sliding door and screen door did not lock at all so uneasy, yes it was upstairs but did not feel safe as they would not lock. Would not stay there again.

It's a good value. If you just need a convenient, clean place to crash, it works. Service is great, and the rooms have been refurbished. Bathrooms look brand new, and the bed is clean & comfortable.

Was very disappointed. The walls had so much dirt the floors were not clean either. The outside chairs had poop all over them. Overall it’s a 2 stars at best. ( the bed was so uncomfortable as well)

10/10 Exceptional

It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.

Excellent

I use the ADA room because of my size and the shower was perfect. Shower size was perfectly just what I needed.
Lenardo, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Floors were filthy dirty, beds very hard and bases were squeaky whenever you move, and WiFi completely unusable. Rooms pet friendly but fees hidden on site when booking so we ending up paying $400 for 2 nights mid week for a very poor hotel.
Somer, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Nicole, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great stay! Affordable, central to everything. My only complaint was the people staying in the room beside us, very loud and seemed to be fighting physically most of the night. Service is great! Friendly staff and housekeeping.

8/10 Very good

Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.

Cute and cozy and convenient. Would have liked to be able to use bath but spout was capped. It was very clean and check in and out were easy. It was in a good location as well.
Danielle, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The grounds at this hotel were dirty and smelly. There were not hotel staff on the premises after 10:30 PM. There were people fighting outside our room, and there appeared to be drug deals going on in the parking lot lat at night. The room itself was clean, but the beds were hard and uncomfortable, and the mini-fridge was not cooling effectively.
Lauren, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location as it is centered by local shopping centers such as target, Costco, home goods and food places, about 10min drive from old fisherman’s wharf, 15-20min drive from aquarium. The place is on a Main Street so you do hear from time to time loud cars but overall quiet. Rooms come with the essentials needs such as bathroom and a bed to sleep however not updated or modern to say, did have ac or heater, tv channels, fridge and microwave, majority was clean besides some hairs in the restroom FYI restaurant next door Gusto, very good definitely recommend pizza and pasta was delicious

Hair dryer not working, no closet to hang clothes, road noise
Lawrence, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was very polite. Unfortunately the room we got had a kitchenette and the drawers had old debris, like a dirty cutting board and moldy garlic from past guests.
