The room was very comfortable and the area didn’t feel dangerous or uncomfortable. It was a little bit confusing to figure out where to check in, but after that I had no problems. Some people don’t like that it was next to a gas station, but I thought it was really convenient!

Having a 24/7 mart & gas station right next to the hotel was such a bonus! I would only say it was initially difficult to find the main lobby/check-in entrance, but there's really friendly staff to help out as well. Overall great option for visiting Monterey area (the main Aquarium is only about 20min drive away for example), without the high price tag of other places! Clean, quiet & safe.

The motel room was nicely equipped with a TV, refrigerator, microwave and well-stocked coffee maker. The room is clean and the woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful. It is a motel with parking located right in front of the rooms. The office to check-in is attached to the gas station store.

I stayed at this place for two nights. After my checkout, I noticed over a dozen bed bug bites on my legs. It was incredibly uncomfortable and concerning. I expect basic hygiene and cleanliness from any hotel and this experience was far below acceptable standards. I hope this issue could be taken seriously and addressed properly. But in the meantime, I would not recommend this inn to anyone.
