Overall our stay was fine. It met most of the expectations we had for the hotel. The mattresses were pretty thin and the frame that it sits on sticks out so be careful not to walk into like i did. Still have a bruise on my knee. Ha ha. The dish tv would occasionally lose signal mid show but we only watched tv to end the night so not a huge issue. The proximity to Laguna Seca raceway was good as was the ease of going to Monterey a few days during the trip.

I chose this place because it had small kitchen but ended up being sorely disappointed upon arrival. The kitchen lacked almost all basic items like a sponge, paper towels, dish soap, can opener , no silverware, and only three chipped large plates. After checking out the kitchen, I went into the bathroom to find it dirty along the baseboards and the wall, the exhaust fan completely filled with dust and dirt, and some of the towels didn't look clean. Once we headed to sleep, and turned off the lights we found out that the building next door has flood lights that shine directly into the room. There is also a very large 1 inch gap underneath the door that would allow any type of critters and light into the room, along with cold air. I was really freaked out, once I found out that the mattress was not covered with a fitted sheet but an actual bed sheet that did not go to the bottom of the bed, so your feet were touching basically a mattress that has been touched by many other travelers. We had to call several times for things like hand soap, later dish soap, to ask for additional pillows (as each bed only had two pillows) with no extra pillows offered or blankets, and an issue with the toilet. They did respond to our phone calls quickly. We would NOT stay here again. These items are all thing that they can remedy easily for the next guest if they are willing to. This place is just being neglected by not doing simple cleaning, maintenance, and keeping up on supplies.

It's a good value. If you just need a convenient, clean place to crash, it works. Service is great, and the rooms have been refurbished. Bathrooms look brand new, and the bed is clean & comfortable.

It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.

Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.
