We booked two rooms. Upon check-in, the guy gives us the form to complete and then, in another language, calls (yells) out to someone else to the front desk. A disheveled woman appears and takes over our paper work while the guy leaves the office. She gives us our keys and we go into our rooms in the 2nd floor.... more

made a reservation for 2 nights- Our criteria was a cheap place- the reviews for the motel were not so good and pretty much are spot on- Not the best place and I think any wise person would stay out of a pool in a place like this! We arrived and our room as the room in the back that... more

I booked my room with Hotel.com and had requested a non smoking room because of elderly parent with breathing problems. I did not receive the room and had gone to the front desk to ask for another room. I was told they could not accommodate my needs. When I explained my situation they stated that it was not they're problem.... more

We were looking for a place to spend one night as we were passing through Monteray area . We saw this hotel in the AAA book and thought it seemed adequate. We checked out a couple of other motels in the vicinity but they either seemed noisy or the immediate area was a bit dubious. We ended up at the... more

My daughter and I had booked a 3 night stay at this hotel during our visit to the nearby CSUMB. Upon arriving in our room we discovered that one of the beds was turned down and both pillows left with no pillowcases, stacked by a can of furniture polish on the other bed. When we mentioned it to the front... more

The motel was a bit isolated if you wanted to walk out for a bite to eat, but ok if you were willing to drive somewhere. The breakfast was pretty average and probably a bit more choice than some other motels. The pool was not much bigger than a kitchen sink, but ok if you were prepared to take it... more

This motel is not a destination itself, but it's a great place to stay if you understand that you're in the area to be out & about, to see the ocean, the aquarium, etc etc. A weekend night cost us only $53 (offseason rates have not kicked it yet). A mere 2 miles down the road would've been $25 more... more

This is about as bad as it gets. The door practically hits the bed on the way in the rooms are so small. Showers looked like a no frills $25 plastic camp enclosure. Room smelled like urine ...sorry tried to think of a better way of saying that, but I'm calling it like I smelled it. Hmmm... lets see, stairs... more
