The room was clean. Housekeeping only came once during our 1 week stay. There's plenty of parking. The guests next door were outside in front of their room smoking which caused smoke to come into our room. These rooms are non-smoking.

The staff in the office during check in was really nice. The outside of the rooms in parking lots had trash everywhere. When we got to room it was clean, but both beds didn’t have comforters just sheets and the lamps next to the bed didn’t work. In the restroom there wasn’t any shampoo and conditioner. Definitely won’t be staying there again.

It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.

Road hard and put away wet

The only way to describe this property is rough. The room was clean enough to stay, but aside from that everything was old and haggard and location left a lot to be desired.

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!

Great rate for a last minute, one night stay, in Monterey. Bed was clean as was the rest of the room. Unfortunately, the bath tub wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as the rest of the room. Other than that, it was a good value for short notice on a weekend.

The room was old and not cleaned well. Definitely a low star hotel. HOWEVER, the staff was VERY nice/friendly and it is located less than a block from the fairgrounds which is what we were there to visit.

I would say you get what you pay for this area. The room was kind of gross . However the staff was extremely friendly and helpful ! If you are light sleeper the airplanes flying over top will be waking you up throughout night
