This property was actually perfect for what I wanted. I just needed to stay one night near Monterey and a clean and affordable room. This fit the bill. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful. It’s an older property and so a tad shabby in spots, but it was clean and that was what mattered to me.

The front desk girl was very rude and disrespectful when I checked in on the 19th of June 2025 at 7pm. Then we got a note on the door about our dogs that they were barking. They are dogs there’s nothing i could do about that. They say they are dog friendly but they are not. I wouldn’t stay here again.
