“Good for the Price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel has a good location if you have a car: halfway between downtown Monterey and Carmel, so quick to get to either for dinner or touring, and right off Rte. 1, 5 min from the airport. Hotel is clean, average size rooms, all necessary amenities with flat-screen tvs (just standard channels), dvd player and free (albeit at times slooow) wi-fi in rooms. Nothing exceptional and nothing horrible. The only problem in our block (we had room 219) was a deafening noise, like a truck starting over your head, that would come on and off at various times; wasn't bad in the bedroom, as the noise from the ac/heating unit drowned it out, but pretty startling in the bathroom. While the rooms with a view toward Monterey may seem more desirable, the hotel is over a busy intersection and thus I'd suggest the rooms in the back, facing the woods, for a quieter stay.

Room Tip: Back of the hotel, facing the woods

“Great hotel, friendly, helpful staff”

Very nice place. Clean, well-kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice, very fresh, clean and had all the amenities. Within minutes to all the attractions and easy access to Hwy. 1. We will definitely stay there again!

Room Tip: If you have a choice, stay on the second level - our room had a partial view of the bay.

This was a great place. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. We had not complants. The room was spacious. We felt very at home. Would come back again. The front desk was very helpful. We were traveling for both business and personal.

“Older hotel in a good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

My husband and I stayed here for a getaway to Monterey. The hotel was in a good location right off the highway, and within several miles of the pier, and the 17 mile drive. We were not happy with our original room, which for some reason was a "single", when we requested a queen size bed for 2 people. The room was so cramped! We had already unloaded all our luggage, and had to go down to request another room. They did give us a larger "upgraded" room, which looked exactly the same but was much larger. They had told us they'd only be able to give it to us for that night, but my husband talked to them and they let us stay there for the next 2 nights of our stay as well. The bathroom was handicap accessible and large. The bed was about the same size though. The room did not have an inviting feeling, since one of the walls looks like a jail cell with the block wall. We enjoyed using the spa, which is pretty secluded. We had a hard time finding it! There was a bit of noise, but it is next to a freeway. There is also a strange older man that works behind the front desk. My hubby walked over to the restaurant/bar area to check it out (it was closed at this time) and he told him he couldn't go in there because he might be "from the health department". We had a good laugh about that later. I would probably not stay here again.

Room Tip: This place is kind of set up like an apartment building, so there are large sliding door windows whi...
