Habitaciones básicas para pasar la noche. Nuestra habitación y creo que muchas otras dan hacia el interior por lo que no se pueden abrir las ventanas con tranquilidad y durante la noche se oye el ruido del parking o de otros huéspedes que llegan a sus habitaciones

Die Lage ist sehr gut, die Zimmer sind sauber und sehr pragmatisch eingerichtet. Es ist durch die Lage an der Hauptstraße etwas laut dort, aber für 1-2 Nächte durchaus machbar

Room smelt horrible and smelled the whole time. Smelt like sweat and feet, the air coming from the ac machine smelt awful. You can hear your next door neighbors and blankets was as thin as paper. Service was good, but wouldn’t come here again. Save up the money and go somewhere else worth your money. Only good thing is the location

THE MANAGER ENTERED MY ROOM WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. They then would not refund us for the rest of our stay as we have decided to leave early. BEWARE. I’m filling a police report as we speak I would not stay here.

Affordable and close to Monterey Bay & Carmel! Very nice room at a great price! Fairly close to downtown Monterey Bay and Carmel. Front desk was kind and let us check in earlier.

The only thing nice about this hotel is its location. The rooms are tiny, hardwood floors, bare walls. Every noise is echoed through the rooms. I can hear every neighbor around me anytime they move speak or cough. Had to unplug all the appliances because the electrical noises were way too loud. I wear silicon earplugs to sleep when traveling, did not help. The only thing nice about this place is its location. Do not recommend, especially for $300 a night.

Dangerous area and room is disgusting. Room smells so bad and toilet has stains. There is no extra lock on the door. Feels extremely unsafe and sketchy parking lot. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I would feel safer in a Motel 6.

Had fruit stickers stuck on the sheets and stains which was a clear sign the bedding wasn’t washed beforehand. The tub had dried up spots where the soap from the wall had fallen before too, so it didn’t feel comfy knowing it wasn’t cleaned as thoroughly. Trash piled up right outside the rooms so coming/leaving there was just a bad smell. However, the pros: the target is right around the corner and lots of places to grab food as well. 12-15 mins from cannery row, and there was a little stovetop to cook which was convenient. Overall though, wouldn’t come back.

The hotel was OK however when it came to the room, it was not perfect. My son had bed bugs bite all over his body. Bathroom smells funny and the toilet was not flushing properly. It was not worth $338!!

The room was ok. The shower had extremely low water pressure, the toilet was not cleaned, the hand soap was mounted in the shower and labeled as “hand and body soap” and two of the four bath towels had mystery stains on them. With that said, the rest of the room was clean, the ac/heat worked well, the beds were somehow relatively comfortable despite the mattress being 6 inches thick and on a metal frame, there was hot water, and the room was pet friendly. As far as location goes, it was easy to get to and close to stores/food, but didn’t feel like the safest as it’s next door to a run down liquor store. It does have two separate parking lots, too, which was odd. Overall, it was a roof over our head and a warm bed to sleep in, which is all that we really needed. If you need a budget friendly place to stay for a night, it’s not a bad option.
