Three was a surprise deposit more than the price of the room. I was still able to stay, but that could have left someone else with nowhere to sleep that night.

For an overnight stay this property works well. The rooms are newly renovated with new furnishings. It is clean, easy to find & good parking. The rooms are small & there is an English language issue if you have a number of questions.

It was a surprisingly nice stay. The first night, we were cold since we had the heater off. The heater was extremely loud and we did not want to hear it blasting while we slept. 2nd night, we asked for an additional blanket. Staff was extremely accommodating. We lost track of time and did not realize it was past 11 am for check out. They did not charge us additional fees. Overall we enjoyed our stay due to comfortable beds, cleanliness and quiet surrounding.

5/5stars! The manager at this Inn was absolutely delightful. He not only said “Hello” every day that we were out to go to personal activities; he also would ask us each day how we slept and how our stay was! The Inn was booked for a total of four young adults for a small spring break road trip. The prices were beyond accommodating ! Initially we were worried it was almost too good to be true! But we were all happily surprised. Also the beach is a total of 7 minutes drive and Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Road were ten minutes drive. Additionally the roads surrounding this location were easy to drive for non-California locals! If you’re looking for a soft, quiet environment, with affordable pricing while you plan to spend your days out doing activities, then this IS THE PLACE!

Hello,You had not stay with us. You are posting this review because of your mistake in making a reservation. We cannot cancel a reservation on a check in date. I also have your THREATENING voice mail stating that if I do not cancel your reservation at free of charge, you were going to post negative reviews all the platforms. You did not allow us a single day to look into the matter. I called you to clarify the matter, however, you did not answer. Your threats of negative review, and you following up on it, does not help your chances. It was not fault of ours, however, I tried helping.

Our room, bathroom, and bedding were very clean, updated, and in good repair - beds were comfortable, no excessive noise. Room featured a fridge, microwave, and smaller sized flat screen TV with cable. Parking was onsite and included - location had easy access to highway. It's in an older area, but we did not feel unsafe. Room had ample lighting, a desk/chair, table and 2 queens. Friendly and accommodating staff. A good value for the price and decent location. Denny's, Starbucks, and more nearby. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Power went out. Get it. Not motels fault. But ...closing office door and not even offering blankets to guests for cold night without heater? Not cool, not cool. Also, no refund or partial refund for night without power, heat, hit water. Not cool.
