10/10 Exceptional

Convenience to the area.

No water cup or Kleenex in the room

Nice front desk very helpful no noise clean restful
Cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It all depends on context. I visited this property during Monterey Car Week when even the Motel 6 is a $600 a night investment. The motel has a very convenient location and the staff was great with 24 hour per day on site security ensuring that the place was as safe as possible. With all that said, the rooms are outdated and a bit worn, though relatively clean. During MCW, I have stayed at places running the entire gamut from $1800 a night to motels like this. Overall, I think the value was great and I would recommend this during those high leverage occasions when the budget doesn't permit spending several thousands of dollars for what is a bed for a few hours a night. As long as your eyes are open and expectations realistic, it wasn't a horrible experience.
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The stay was enjoyable. Easy access coming & going. The staff was quiet friendly. All be the parking was a little tight. The stay was a plus
Nicholas, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very disappointing.
Jenny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Establishment did not meet even the lowest of expectations especially for a single female Traveler. I felt very uncomfortable and ended up not staying. There was lots of deferred maintenance and I just did not feel comfortable staying. Before booking this hotel I would check in and see if they have cleaned things up.

Food for me
Christian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was absolutely unacceptable. It was so bad we left even though they refused to refund. Walls were damaged, there was holes in the sheets, and the tv did not work. It was bot cery clean. I wish I haf taken pictures to post. It should be removed due to poor quality. I had stayed here years ago without concern. Just a place for the night. It’s so bad they had a security guard on site at tiny motel.
Victoria, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’m surprised that Expedia is listing this as one of the properties. I’ve been to third world country’s with better and cleaner accomodations. Room smelled like smoke, the bedspread had cigarette burn holes in them. The sheets looked like they haven’t been washed, wires sticking out of the walls and paint is peeling of the rooms. We checked in then checked out. It ruined our weekend stay.
Rob, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid this hotel

Dirty/filthy, in disrepair, unrelated businesses run out of hotel rooms, terrible parking spaces, no room service, no amenities, one light bulb in room, bed a firm spring hot point mattress, faucets malfunction, mold and dirt in bathroom, microwave so small can't pop a bag of popcorn, marginal area of town,
Robert, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I dont recommend it. Not even if its for a 5 minute quickie. The room are nothing compated to the pictures they have posted online. Matress was dirty. It was just horrible i had to cancele and go somewhere else
Sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a room, little else.
Douglas, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was super nice but the room was in very poor condition and smelled like cigarette smoke
Jennifer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

If it's all you can afford it's ok.
Joy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.
Christina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Rooms were very dirty no towels
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was mold in the room and the bedding was filthy .
Mandy, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.
Alexis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nothing
Paul, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible place. We had to leave abd find another place to stay. It was dirty, smelly and very unsafe. I will never book with Expedia again if that is the kind of place they use on there site.
Diane, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

felt generally unsafe, worried for my vehicle, and woke up at midnight to people carrying mattresses out of surrounding rooms and yelling
Nina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very old and almost nothing worked.
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Floors were sticky. Hair, gravel and stains on and in the sheets. Asked the manager to change the sheets while we were out during the first day, and he only changed one of the beds. There wasnt even a lamp shade on the bedside lamp. Just a dirty and gross experience. Would not recommend to anyone
Cory, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

No TV

Very poor condition tv didn’t work / plugged sink / multiple areas with holes. I would NOT stay here again.
