Great location, friendly staff and good price. Especially convenient when you’re on the road and just need a place to stay for 1 night.

Actually the place was better than we expected. Got a decent rate for the area and room was clean and everything worked. Easy check in and check out. Would book it again.
I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.
It was very affordable, however the microwave was dirty and the bathroom could use some scrubbing. But it was affordable and the office staff was very very nice and the location was great.
It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.
The stay was okay, but I felt a bit let down by the cleanliness—it could have been better.
The noise level was a bit high at times. The only positive was the location—it was conveniently close to Carmel.
Great stay! Affordable, central to everything. My only complaint was the people staying in the room beside us, very loud and seemed to be fighting physically most of the night. Service is great! Friendly staff and housekeeping.
Very clean and cozy stay. They even provide a Keurig with K-cups!

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean however, the toilet and the sink was not properly installed. Both moved when you use it. Every time you say in the bed you heard the metal frame. The water pressure was very weak. Will not stay here again. When asked for another room they lied and said the water pressure was like that in every room.
Cute and cozy and convenient. Would have liked to be able to use bath but spout was capped. It was very clean and check in and out were easy. It was in a good location as well.
