This is not a luxury hotel. It is, however, clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom adequate. It is well located to visit Monterey Bay and the area. The staff was very nice and helpful. Great for budget travel.

I would be happy to visit this Howard Johnson again. The rooms were clean and a good size. The people running it were sincerely friendly and helpful in every way. It's a good experience.

The rooms really needed to be thoroughly cleaned. It was ok when we first entered the room. The microwave was not plugged in. So, I had to pull out the fridge to reach the sockets in the back to plug the microwave in. It was very nasty in the back (full of cobwebs and dirty). The back of the dresser... More

Let's start off by saying not a great place at all...when we got to our room, there was a toilet plunger right outside our door, there were dirty towels still hanging on the back of the bathroom door and a coffee cup lid siting on the table. The bed were clean as far as we could tell and the carpet... More

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are a nice size, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom area was larger than I expected. There was some mold in the bathroom but that is to be expected in an ocean town where there is a lot of moisture. The room was clean and the heater/air conditioner... More

Nice little motel, but I felt ripped off. The place advertises in RoomSaver, so I made a reservation through Wyndam. When I got there, the owner refused to give me the lower coupon rate. He tried to twist the words "based on availablity" on the coupon to mean that it doesn't count if you made a reservation. Then he locked... More
