We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I didn't want to set high expectations based on the location. It's a bit off that is next to a gas station, when we arrived we were not sure where to check in, no reception sign. So we walked into the gas station to ask, and to our surprise, there's a tiny desk at the back of the gas station where you check in. Again, seemed a little odd at first. But the room itself was spotless. You can see the headboard and baseboards are a bit scratched and outdated in some corners, BUT the bed was comfy, the room was clean and quiet. If you want a luxurious stay, this isn't it. If all you care about is cleanliness and budget, this is a great option and would definitely return. They offered a to go breakfast, but we did not make use of it as we had other plans. The location was great to visit Monterey & Carmel and we saved a lot of money by staying here. If you drive down the road you reach a beautiful beach for sunset.
