We stayed at this hotel because they have suites avaliable and we needed to accomodate 2 familes. They only had a king bed with sleeper sofa available during the time that we stayed but there was more than enough room for everyone.
Pluses: Large kitchen with breakfast nook, high vaulted ceiling in bedroom area makes the space feel larger, fireplace, large outdoor patio with table (ground floor only, 2nd floor has small deck), sleeper sofa, two tvs, dvd player (you can request dvds at front desk), complimentary continental breakfast (juice, coffee, muffins, pancakes), located in a quiet tree-lined neighborhood, close to beach and aquarium, 2-day tickets to aquarium for the price of one day, garage right downstairs from your unit so you can pull right up!
Minuses: the shower runs hot and cold so difficult to get a comfortable temperature, in the evenings the garage spaces fill up so you might have to park on the street.
We would definitely stay here again. The place was really clean and the manager on duty is very helpful.

This place was great. It was a little hard to find when we first arrived. The suites were very nice and clean.We had a 2 room suite 1 king bed and 1 queen. It had a small kitchen area w/ microwave , sink and small fridge. Layout of rooms was a little strange,queen bed room had a flat screen tv, go figure.Offered free parking in open space or in garage. Hotel personnel was very helpful and nice.The best part was the continental breakfast! They had a great assortment to choose from like pancakes,
waffles(frozen) bagles,cereal, fruits and juices etc...
My 3 children loved it! I would definitely stay again.The price was was one of the best we found last minute (2 days before) on a holiday weekend .It was a quick drive into town and like 5 mins. away from the Monterey Bay Aquarium & Cannery Row.

Stayed for 3 nights, family of 4 with 2 teens, just after Christmas. Have stayed before and will probably stay again due to cost savings and availability of breakfast. We get the room with one king and an adjoining room with 2 twin beds, which is the middle room with one below and one above. There are 3 rooms per building, kinda stacked around a carpeted staircase, so no one is directly above you, but this time I really noticed the noise from others going up and down the stairs, late at night and early in the morning. The 2 bed room has a shelf on one end with a microwave and coffee maker on it, and a small sink, with a small frig mounted below. And now there is a flat screen T.V. with a DVD player mounted on the wall above the sink (the room with the king bed still retains the older style T.V.). It was good to have a free internet connection, but it seemed slow at times. The heating system is uneven. The king bed room has high ceilings and never seems to warm up. The bathroom gets very hot quickly, unless you stand on the toilet and close the heater vent into the bathroom, which then allows the 2 bed room to heat up over time. Both our keys ceased working, one after 2 days and one on the 3rd day when we still needed it.

Our room was not ready at check in time. The women behind the desk was rude and cursed because her computer was not working properly. It is hard to sleep with all the noise. I found nothing good about this hotel. I rarely write reviews, but this was so bad I felt I needed to warn others. RUN from this hotel.

“Great for families with teens”

I loved the location - a 10 minute walk to the ocean, and tucked away in a residential area. (Print yourself a map first, though, if you're trying to find it in the dark - it's set back and hard to spot.)

A great find for our teens, because they got their own room with twin beds. Usually kids are forced to share one double bed, so they loved this.

I thought it was a great deal - the whole area is expensive and hard to book in busy summer months, so I appreciated it.
