everything was pretty good, the rooms are clean and spacious. The mattresses were a bit worn down and soft, but the biggest turnoff was the clientele and the motel atmosphere: expect couples breaking up, having late night action, smoking parties outside your room, and rowdy kids and stomping all over your ceiling / next door. Other than that, it was a clean, affordable, decently located option in Monterey.

Stayed 2 nights March 7&8 2025 It is the cleanest hotel I have stayed in . The staff is very friendly and kind . The stairs to the 2 nd floor are quite steep . The walls are very thin . The planes at the near by airport do not fly all night so it is very tolerable. I would definitely stay again !
