The staff at the hotel was great! We had priblems with our tv & the came immediately to repair the situation. The location was excellent to go north or south along Highway 1. The cost was prefect for our budget allowing us to spend our money shopping, visiting local attractions & eating out.

Older hotel

They gave us a great dinner recommendation. This is an older Howard Johnson hotel. Someone was doing construction behind the hotel until 8pm which was very loud.

Cute and comfortable

Cute place! Recently renovated room that was very comfortable. Very clean and staff was very friendly. It's about 15-20 minutes from Monterey Bay. Free parking. Gas station on property with a mini mart. The lobby office was being renovated. 5 minute drive to the beach. Breakfast is just a granola bar, yogurt and fruit they give you in a lunch bag. Worked out great for what we needed and price was reasonable.
