    friendly staff
    dirty room
    clogged shower

    Staff was friendly and responsive.

    The room was in terrible condition upon arrival. It was dirty, with unwashed sheets and a strong smell of cigarettes, despite being labeled as non-smoking. The bathroom was not cleaned properly, and I was unable to take a shower due to a clogged drain. My experience was far from acceptable and felt like a real disappointment.

    the nearby fairgrounds and eateries. The staff were helpful and responsive to my needs, yet the property is showing its age, and amenities like breakfast and Wi-Fi could definitely improve.

    clean bedding

    Just a great match for a getaway in Monterey with excellent value for money. I was grateful for the clean bedding offered despite the overall condition of the room. Consider checking for bathroom cleanliness upon arrival.

    The location was fantastic,, providing easy access to events and local attractions. The room's cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere were appreciated after a long day of activities.

    Unfortunately, the property showed signs of significant wear and tear, affecting the overall comfort. In addition, customer service struggles were noted, making response times longer than expected.

    The stay was okay given the circumstances. We were attending a local festival, and the location made it really easy to get to nearby attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. The room was tidy and spacious, which created a comfortable environment for us to relax after our long days exploring. However, we could have used more seating and extra blankets to make the room feel cozier.

    cleanliness issue

    The hotel is conveniently located near local attractions, which made it easy for my family to explore Monterey. We enjoyed attending the nearby events, especially the seaside activities that kept the kids entertained during our stay.

    My wife says that the amenities were lacking and the room was not clean enough for our family’s comfort. More attention to cleanliness would greatly improve the experience for families.

    decent breakfast
    dusty nightstand
    thin walls
    cigarette smell

    Not great!

    The room was a mess—cigarette smell everywhere, and I was super uncomfortable sleeping in my clothes. Loose faucet, dusty nightstand, and the floor was so dirty my feet turned black. Thin walls made it hard to sleep with neighbors flushing toilets. At least breakfast was decent. Just pick a different place, seriously.
