The property itself looked nice. However the room was in poor condition. The water heater did not work so we didn’t have hot water. There was a big hole in the bathroom ceiling. Only one of the power outlets worked so it was extremely hard to charge my electronics. Finally there was a lot of road noise and airplane noise flying overhead that prevented us from sleeping well.

Traveling through… looked online for an inexpensive room for the night. At 52$ total I’m both pleased and impressed. Nice comfortable room. Bed is ok. Clean and warm when I walked in at 8pm. Very quiet heater/air… I’d stay again or even inquire about a weekly rate if I was planning to be here.

I booked this property due to limited availability in other properties/area on a weekend. The welcome was the "WORST EVER I HAVE" recieved in any hotel/motel in the US . at 4 pm in afternoon , they welcome guests through a "tiny window" where one can only pass credit cards in a low crime tourist town.The window opens into a living room where I can see someone napping on a sofa. My credit card and driver lic was taken and the Clerk disappeared for a good 10 minutes before he came back with an authorization form to sign . US law say you cannot take a credit card from eye-view of the guest. Card Swipes need to be done in front of the guest. (if they don't trust me , I don't trust them either) Language/communication problems . The Clerk started talking to me in a non-english language profiling me based on my name/looks . I asked him questions on the room location but it was evident he didnt know proper English or even when when replying in the language he originally responded in. I had one simple question: is there a room above my room or is it a single level. but he couldn't successfully answer the question and kept telling me that upper rooms were double-queen. The fact was - there was no 2nd level room above my room but he couldn't communciate that. Then there's one more male person (a family member) of this clerk comes on the window and starts yelling at me saying they cannot reveal details on their occupancy. and gets threatens to call law enforcement.

Our stay was great. The workers were awesome at the time of check-in. Very nice had smiles on their faces and acknowledged me instantly. They have remodeled since I was here last about a year ago, and it's beautiful. The rooms are beautiful as well. It was quiet, we had NO interruptions, our stay was just perfect. Will most DEFINITELY return soon for another quiet getaway together!!

I read the other reviews before my stay and was concerned that it would be awful, but when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised. I personally feel like the other reviews were a lil harsh. I mean, what do you expect from the cheapest hotel in Monterey. The room was not in the best condition but there were more amenities than I was expecting! A fridge, microwave, hair dryer, ironing board, iron. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfy. I was content with my stay.

We prepaid a room with 2 queen size beds. They crammed the beds against the walls so you could only get in bed on one side. We checked in and left 10 min. later. This place should not be on your list. No one should ever stay here. This was the worst place we ever went to. We got ripped off. Very Unhappy

Over-priced all things considered
Everything was pretty mediocre, which would be ok if the price weren't in the neighborhood of nicer properties. Spend another $30/night and you can get something much nicer in a better location.

Lazy family "runs" disgusting hotel
We got there around 9pm, the office is permanently closed and used for storage, so I go to this small window with a cut out, something you might see in a really bad area of Oakland. Asked me my ID and credit card, came back after a few min telling me to sign the paper, no "hi" or "welcome" nothing. We get our keys to room 123, we go up and open the door. The room smelled like a smoker lived in that room for weeks and also was peeing in the corner, it was bad. I went down to the front desk and asked to change rooms, a different person came to the window, they said "no" and that all rooms we taken, so I ask for air freshener "no", as I walking back I see room 106 is unoccupied, I go back to the window and say I want 106, he says no we have already been in 123 and someone is coming for 106, I say "its been a few minutes, we didn't even sit down and their not here I am and I want the room", He comes with me to 123, looks around and agrees to change the rooms. I saw him spraying 123 with what I would assume was are freshener, so he lied. 106 wasn't much better but the smell was a little bit better. After an hour we decided to not stay the 2nd night and we would switch hotels. I contacted Hotels.com that night and they told me it was pay at the Hotel so all I need to do was let them know and they should remove the 2nd night. Well surprise surprise when we went to check out the next morning the guy working basically said no to the refund and to contact the website, lied again.

Room was not clean. Smelled like someone had smoked in the room before we were there. The hair dryer looked like it had dried blood on it and something stinky. The bed was broken and leaned to one side and at the foot of the bed. The floor was dirty.

It served is purpose as a place to stay but when you're paying $300 a night (granted this was during a festival at a nearby location), you'd expect not to deal with a fridge that won't properly seal, broken floor boards, a shower with a beat up head and loss of hot water, a dresser that looks like it was found on the sidewalk with a "free" sign attached to it, and all the other little annoyances. Place should be brought up to date if you're planning to charge that much.

It’s a small, seedy hotel. Our original room was in a corner and was dark and depressing looking. It was next to a ghetto and loud neighbor who was yelling on her phone at 11pm. We got moved to a different room after my husband complained. Unfortunately it was also next to a ghetto neighbor on one side and a smoker on the other side. The restroom was nasty and old and has seen better days. There was mildew in the tub, the walls had aging, peeling paint, the floors were disgusting. I felt dirty even after taking a shower. The walls are thin and you can hear everything the people next door are doing and saying. The whole motel needs an update. It’s so gross and outdated! I do not recommend. Just pay a little more and stay somewhere else.

Dont let them scam you.
The pictures online do not at all reflect what this place looks like. The walls are FILTHY, the floor is gross, there are no outlets available. The manager refused to speak with us, across multiple attempts. Including hanging up on me when attempting to call the next day. Unprofessional, dirty, this place has all the marks of a scam they know they are performing.

First we sat at window outside to check in. The reception clerk was fine. No breakfast available as advertised. The room was just old with rusted lamp, soiled chair I would not sit in, bathtub with dirt rings and stains. Then beds were from the 50s hard springs. Worse night of sleep during my trip would not recommend

Overall a good motel. The TV did not work in our room, they called the administrator and he fixed everything. Thank you for this. Personally, I did not have enough electric kettle in the room, but there was a coffee maker. The room is not clean enough, there was dust in some places. But not critical. In general, everything is good for such a price.
