First non-smoking room actually reeked of smoke. Thankfully, the front desk person switched me to a different room that was available and clean. Breakfast items ran out. Value received was not commensurate with my $200/night rate.

lAt first we had a bad room with a leak in it that had a bad smell, but the staff was very helpful and friendly and moved us just across the hall in a remodeled room. So dont be afraid to speak up and ask if you get a bad room

The room was very clean and spacious. I didn't like the faucet in the bathroom sink. It had one of those spray filters and kept spraying water on your clothes when you used it. Remote for TV didn't show info about the show when you selected it.

Check in is so late at 4 pm, we had to go to another relatives house to change for a 5 pm dinner in Pebble Beach. We would not have made it since we left Watsonville at 3:30pm and barely made it to the restaurant on time. It used to be 3pm check in. I hope they can return to an earlier time.
