Room was overall as clean as expected. Only issue was the bathroom door that was loose and took a bit of work to close — other than that, great value and would stay again.

Book this place on a last minute trip to Monterey car week 2026. I would not recommend this place unless you need a cheap place to stay. Location right next to the fair grounds, so any event will loud. Our room had odor issues. No soaps, shampoos or conditioner.

Decent for a cheap motel. Shower needs some work. Not the safest feeling place for a mom and daughter. One quick night was okay though. We were up and out early.

We enjoyed our stay over overall the beds were more of a foam mattress. It was super comfortable. We felt like it was pretty quiet. We stayed there a couple nights in a row and everybody was pretty chill. The staff were really helpful and easy to reach Lots of parking easy to get to Denny’s and some of the breakfast spots so it kind of central located for waking up early Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will book it again

It was a clean and quiet room. The beds were comfy. But it was missing a mini fridge, hair dryer and iron. Bath towels were super tiny. Definitely not worth the weekend rate but clean and felt safe. Just be aware that it is a bare bones kinda room.
