Great location and good for a place to sleep and a/c. Staff was friendly and breakfast was decent. Room had several cosmetic flaws, usb outlets didn’t work.
Property is very close by car to food stores, shops, restaurants, fast food & gas stations. Excellent access to beach within walking distance! Monterey & Carmel is just a quick drive away! Recommend this property for families!
Location is perfect. Short walk to amazing State beach. Staff were friendly and informative. Lots of families staying there during Easter weekend but hotel was nice and quiet at night. Decent beds. Breakfast is included but don’t be too optimistic. You get a great location with quick access to Monterey without a Monterey hotel markup. And the beach is 100% worth it.
Room was clean and spacious. Walking distance to the beach!

Had to go to Walmart to buy my own towels, the hotel towels were badly stained and I could not risk putting my face on it. This made me hesitant using the rest of the amenities. Friendly staff. Beach is right there.
