This was really a very nice local stay. My only issue was how hard the bed was. They were kind enough to give me more pillows to soften it up. My husband was not bothered. Staff was fantastic, so clean, very nice building and room.

Pretty much excellent! The only issue was the hand-held shower. It was so powerful that it could take someone’s eyeballs out. No place to have it installed like a shower. No adjustments to be able to stand underneath it and take a good shower. Please have both installed shower in the room or if it is for elderly, 1. have a place to anchor it. 2. Repair it to allow for softer water jet coming from the shower head.

A good choice for car week

Best combination, I thought, between economics and location during Monterey car week. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the included breakfast was filling enough to start the day. Location was close to 101 freeway, but the noise was acceptable from my room. Also, it was close to In 'n Out, a couple of minutes of walking, which was a bonus. And neighborhood was not an issue. All in all, a good choice.
