The location of the motel is great. Close to several restaurants and within driving distance from the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is why we visit this motel. First time being upstairs and i was pleasantly surprised. I was afraid we would have neighbors downstairs as i have 4 kids. But our room was above the carport so no worries. The pool was actually the main reason we booked aside from the price. Warm pool after a long drive was a breat way to unwind with the kids. I will definitely be back and will be recommending to our family

Very nice, simple easy to get in and out. I happen to be in a handicap room in the shower was excellent for myself, but a handicap person would really work very well there. The pool was also accessible very easy again, no steps throughout the whole complex.

The room was very large, clean and comfortable. It was nice to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The only flaw was parking. We were in the 2 story building in the back and 1 night we had to park in the front lot. We were also near the stairs which was very loud. My fault I should have asked for a room farther away from them, or to be put in the single story buildings.

Love the affordability for a larger family. Loved that enough towels were in the room and there was no need to ask for extras. I would have liked black out curtains because the lights outside illuminated the whole room at night making it difficult to sleep. The walls were bare so a beach picture or two on the walls would have been nice. Other than that the stay was pleasant.
