This place was really good for the price. Rooms were nice and clean. They were little smaller but it was good enough for us. They have high speed internet, which actually provides high speed. The location was PERFECT. It was close to many of the good restaurants, beaches and major attractions in Monterey.

Over priced,dirty(old drink cup and dust under bed), door locks are cheap residential exterior door locks, which can easily be left unlocked when exiting the room. There is no dead bolt, the door chain is not substantial protection. The usual amenities are missing no ice machine, no ice bucket or cups, no coffee maker, no refrigerator, no microwave, no alarm...

We got a room with double queens for the price of a single-queen room. It was still rather small, but decent and clean. It has seen ibetter days though: the sheets and towels are a little worn down. There was no hair dryer/coffee maker/fridge.

Small room, dirty place, unfriendly people. Not worth the money, don't stay there.

We stayed here 6/6 & 6/7. When looking for a hotel on the coast not far from Big Sur. I looked for a hotel that had was the most affordable and had decent reviews. This place wasn't all too bad. It is next to an all night adult movie theater, which was kind of sketchy, but we had no problems.... More

This room was clean. The bathroom simple with soap, shampoo and towels. There was a fridge and TV with all the major cable channels. The free wireless worked very well in my room. There was no desk, chair, or fancy furniture. For the price, I would stay again. Besides Denny's, there is an Italian place a block away and a... More

OK to stay but fairly basic and not spotless. Cheap and no problems. Under flight path for local airport but not a problem with noise. Dennys (24 hours) oposite.

I paid $150 for a room with two beds. The room was dingy, but reasonably clean. (No obvious stains, mold, hairs or bugs.) There was no shampoo, closet, or hairdryer. The room smelled very strongly of pinesol. The music from the adult theater next door was audible past midnight, but didn't keep me awake. The heater and the tv worked.

We found this off a Monterey website and chose it because it was on special $50.00 a night. This is as basic as it gets. Cardboard sheets and no amenities: none! No pop machine, no ice machine. The rooms were tiny and not terrribly clean. The mattress was too big for the box spring and my husband almost fell off... More
