Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right on the main road, making it easy to explore nearby towns like Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. The staff is always helpful and nice, offering extras like soap generously. However, the rooms felt unsafe being far back on the property and much smaller than expected, not matching the pictures.
The hotel offers reasonably priced, clean, and very comfortable rooms with a strong bleach smell. However, the bed was uncomfortable, and the bathroom floor and fixtures were damaged. The location is great, within walking distance to shops, supermarkets, and good restaurants. The breakfast includes a variety of options like mini waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, cereals, yoghurt, and pastries. The hotel is well away from the street, but there were some loud noises in the morning. The very friendly and accommodating staff make the stay welcoming.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern and clean with plenty of storage, making them very comfortable. The breakfast area was small and a bit crowded, but the bed and pillows were super comfy.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although good in size, were often disrupted by noise from the nearby utility closet and sometimes not properly prepared. On the bright side, the service was friendly, and I appreciated being able to check in early. The location was great for exploring the surrounding areas, especially with easy access to a shopping center and restaurants. The dining options were decent but somewhat repetitive. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though small, had everything I needed and were clean. The service was efficient, with some ups and downs. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions but had its drawbacks. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met my needs. Overall, it was a decent stay considering the value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were nice and modern, but unfortunately, the location at the back of the property made me feel a bit unsafe. On the bright side, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The dining experience was a highlight with a great selection, but the lack of a microwave for simple requests was a downside.
