cheap 'n' cheerful motel - nothing

cheap 'n' cheerful motel - nothing spectacular but has everything most travellers would need - it's clean, the staff were helpful, the parking's easy, there's a mall over the road if you need anything, and it's close to monterey and the highway. not the ritz by any stretch but perfectly adequate for those doing the drive along the california coast.

Average place

We were looking for something cheap, and this ended up being the cheapest rate for the night. Not a shabby place but you do get what you pay for. None of the appliances worked, and when the heater was turned on the whole room smelled gross.

Not bad for the money

Rooms were clean but on the small side. Not bad for the money. It's winter but the pool didn't look clean. Breakfast consisted of cut up muffins or bread - [...]We'd stay again. Knights in on Carmel Hill is much better for the same price but it was booked solid - Christmas week.

Monterey Bay Aquarium is awesome! Look on line for discount coupons. It's one of the best aquariums we've been too. The hotel is about 4 mi. away.

I have stayed here many time and always make it my choice in Monterey. It's pleasant, quiet, and reasonable. A good choice for the traveler on a modest budget.

terrible

I arrived very late, I know it was inconvenient, the service was very rude! I had recieved a key to the room. I then left the location to go to the gas station. I arrived back to the hotel and my key did not work in the door. So at that point I did have to wake up the managers again, and felt badly for it. I was then told I was not to stay there because I had extra people with me and that I lied to them. I said I was the only person staying there and I just gave the key back to find another hotel, as it was very late and I wanted to rest. My friends were very kind to give me a ride to the hotel,they were not staying with me. The assumption was very rude and also the way I was treated! I will never recommend any one to stay at such a place!
