For the price, really an excellent stay! Great location across from the Del Monte shopping center. Perfect for families to grab a quick dinner or Starbucks. Central to Monterey main attractions, about 5-10 min from everything. Very clean. No complaints! Also enjoyed the little outdoor patio area - spent some time reading in the sunshine outside.

Overall ok. The price is good and the location is good. Convenient location right across from Del Monte shopping Center which has a Whole Foods. The hotel along with tons of others on Munras Avenue are on a main road and it can therefore be noisy especially at night. The cleaners came one time in our 3 night stay. There is no place to fill a water bottle in the hotel and I hated the fact that I had to buy water bottles. Overall clean. Basic accommodation.

The front desk was welcoming. He let me know what was nearby. The room was spacious. Although the bathroom could use some extra elbow grease in cleanliness. The bed was comfortable. You are able to hear the traffic outside but nothing outrageously loud. Maybe could use a little updates but the room served it's purpose. Walking distance to the shopping center and restaurants. Honestly, I'd stay here again because the price and location were reasonable. There is no breakfast, I'm not sure why it was advertised as such, but that's ok because there are breakfast places nearby.
