“The location is great. The rooms are a bit outdated, the showers are very ancient, and the beds are a bit outdated as well and hurts to sleep on. However, the location is perfect, and I don’t mind paying extra for the state park and upkeep. I did the walking tour, and it was very informative.”

“I did not have high expectations for this hotel but it was pretty great for what we needed and what we paid. We stayed for 4 nights and the location was perfect- right in the middle of Monterey and Carmel. The beach is right outside and the trail to the left leads to views of the otters and seals in the mornings. The TVs could use an upgrade but that’s not we were there for. The elevator was super helpful. The garage was a little odd and did have some oily substance on the ground that I did slip on a couple times. The exit to the underground parking was closed but it never got too crowded so it wasn’t an issue. We’d come back.”

“Great value for the cost. The hotel was outdated, but cozy and had what we needed. We enjoyed the set up for the large 1 bedroom suite which was large enough for 5 people.

“We had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the check-in experience to the quality of the rooms and the attentiveness of the staff, everything was perfect.
