Was a great stay. Would highly recommend. Room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Parking was a bit tight, but overall good. Didn't use the pool but it looked clean and nice. Great location to Fisherman's Wharf and to catch the trolly to Cannery Row or the Aquarium. Highly recommend.

We stayed for one night. The walls are paper-thin — I could clearly hear the TV, conversations from the neighboring room, and footsteps from the guests above us. I had to sleep with earplugs. The room was clean but looks a bit dated. Overall, despite of the central location in Monterey I would not recommend this motel.

The room was clean and quiet. It had a lovely patio outside with a firepit. Parking right outside the room was large enough for my giant suv. About a 15 min walk to the fisherman's wharf. 10 min walk to the beach.
