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

Thick aroma of curry smacks you in the face as you enter the front lobby. We ended up with a room above that lobby and had to enjoy the sweet smell of curry for our evening. Other than that, it was fair for the cheapest price in town.

The front desk hung up on me twice lol. This is a place you stay if you want a quick cheap stay and aren’t planning on spending extended time at the inn itself. The place is incredibly run down and loud due to proximity to the airport and it’s just dingy. The shower consistently leaked. I would not stay here again.

Basically it’s Seaside but with a Monterey zip code. You’ll be paying for still a good location and dog friendliness though no grassy areas — your dog will have to use a dry weedy field adjacent to the hotel. It’s basically fine but no fridge and janky bathroom. My faucet sprayed needle like streams into the mirror from the basin. When I wiped the floor (also sprayed), the towel got pretty black. Moulding was falling off in the bathroom, exposing holes in the Sheetrock. We lived!

I chose this hotel for a weekend trip to visit the university, but I would not stay here again. The overall premises and our room were not clean at all. It was bad enough that I had to request a reclean from the receptionist, and I ended up buying my own sheets from a local store just to feel comfortable sleeping. The only saving grace was the staff—they were very kind and polite—but the hotel itself has a lot of work to do before it's truly guest-ready.

Very unpleasant experience the staff has no customer service. They canceled my room the day before I get there when I booked it almost 5 months ahead of time saying that they overbooked and I was out of a room once I was already there. Unacceptable.

It was pretty clean and the beds were reasonably comfortable, but don’t expect ANY amenities. The pool is freezing, there is no coffee or toiletries (just one packet of two in one shampoo/conditioner). The towels are flimsy, small, and worn. No tissue. The outlet was dead so my phone didn’t charge. If this is all you can afford, I guess it does the job. I have stayed at Motet 6 locations that were better. We also had a bad experience at the Vagabond Inn in San Luis Obispo. We booked same day with a budget under $300, so our options were very limited.
