Clean room, comfortable bed. Only complaint is the thin thin walls where you can hear people talking in the next room and playing music. But for $65.99 a night, I shouldn't complain.

I know they are trying hard to make this place nice, however they need to focus on the guest service. The banging of the doors is so obnoxious and loud! Construction on a room with the guys trucks parked sideways in the lot cant get to the room, loud Construction it was terrible. The room is sterile, no blow dryer for hair, just a bed and sink, Tv not inviting at all, the room is stark white with blinding lights. Ugh its not good at all. Thin walls you van hear everything!!!!!!! Needs a lot of work

I got a much smaller room in a corner with no windows. The size advertised was not what I got. I asked why and I was told all tooms are the same. That is not true. I haved stayed thete befire. And just the fact if no window makes it incorrect tesponse. Never staying here again.

The room was fine. Very small, but functional. It had a refrigerator and microwave, but no coffee maker. I'd rather have a coffee maker than a microwave. The shower was very low pressure, but we did always have hot water. The parking is very tight. All in all it was fine for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but clean and quiet.

Worst place to stay Room was bare not worth the money, don’t stay here. I got bites on my ankles, we had booked 2 nights but left after 1. I guess in Monterey $200 a night is bottom of the barrel hotel.
