OK, I'm used to being hit for parking in a downtown hotel. But this is your average Best Western. A mile or two up the road from any restaurants or entertainment. Other than the beach being at the back door, location has nothing going for it (and who cares about the beach in November?). The room, staff, restaurant and bar... more

We stayed there for two nights on our trip back to San Francisco. We wanted to see Salinas, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel, Point Lobos and many other things. The hotel is situated right at the beach - which means that you get both the pleasures and pains of living right next to the Pacific Ocean. We had booked rooms... more

My family has been coming to this hotel yearly for the past 6 years and have always enjoyed being on the beach and being able to bring our dog. I am sorry for those of you who have allergies to pets and those of you who have had rooms or noticed smells. There is nothing I can do about allergies,... more

I must say when we booked this hotel we did not realise it was so far out of town, this was fine for the day but when it came to the evening it was a $10 taxi ride each way. The hotel itself was fine, if very standard. Breakfast was good. more

We stayed at this hotel for one night. Originally I booked a Garden View room but when we checked in and saw the view of the ocean from the lobby we upgraded to an ocean view. I thought this may be a waste - but it was well worth it! The rooms were large and CLEAN. The hotel staff was... more

Stayed here for 2 nights midweek on drive from San Francisco to LA. I selected the hotel on location & ease of access from CA 1. We were happy with our room as it was clean and was a fair size. The location is great if you want to be near the Ocean & see some nice sunsets. If you... more

I was very hesitant on booking this hotel after reading the reviews on here but after speaking with Nicole at the hotel, I decided to take a chance. Nicole was wonderful and extremely helpful and assured me that we would enjoy our stay. She was right. The hotel is recently renovated and it looks very nice. The rooms are comfortable... more

We stayed for several days and the view is beautiful. That is the ONLY reason anyone should ever stay there. They also change the rates dramatically depending on what is going on in the area up to $80 a night difference. When they had some major construction happening out front they gave out coupons for breakfast, but now that construction... more
