It's old, simple, but it's got everything you need. This was a fantastic value for a full week, the bed was comfortable, the shower was nice & warm, and the rooms have a TV, microwave, and refrigerator. My only real issue is that the phone number provided seems to be disconnected. I don't know how to go about contacting the hotel about an item I may have left behind.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom was good. Floor tiling, toilet, basin plumbing were new. Shower had hot water, soap and shampoo. However, bathroom floor needs to be mopped more often. Likewise, the bedroom carpeting needs to be carpet-cleaned. The mini-fridge worked well. I did not try the microwave oven or the TV. Lights all worked. But the bedside power outlets didn't work. The table was very small. The chairs were restaurant table chairs. The area is not that quiet. Monterey Rd used to be U.S. 101 decades ago. There are railroad tracks across the street. I chose The Oaks Motel for its proximity to Black Bear Diner, a longtime favorite.

It was a basic square room. No decorations. Nothing to make you feel cozy. The rep wanted cash for the deposit, which seemed weird. I didnt have cash so he just gave me the key, yes an actual key not a card. The bed was kind of worn but not too bad to sleep on. Would not go back.

Yuk! YUK!

Entire room was about the size of a walk in closet and was disgusting, no drain cover in shower floor, towels that should be white were stained and brownish gray in color, not to mention the towels looked and felt like 30 year old sandpaper, had no microwave(had to ask for one), staff/owners were rude, unapologetic, not helpful and argumentative(need customer/hospitality training), the rooms are not disability friendly.
