This is a sweet little hotel that looks better in the photos than in the light of day. Nothing bad or wrong, just small and a little dingy. Not close to much, but a short drive into Monterey proper. Staff and service were good - very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very nice and professional. The room could use some updating and repairs (for example, the bathroom door had a large hole in it that had been poorly patched up and painted over). Because of the location, and the cleanliness, none of this would bother me too much. The reason i'm giving it a three stars is because of the rickety bed mattress, which was very uncomfortable. I recommend you replace it with something of better quality.
