Excellent size rooms, quiet although close to a main road. Extremely clean and fantastic value, we could fault nothing and there is an excellent restaurant right next door. There is nothing to dislike.

Easy enough check in, they charge your card twice for the first night though - and then revert one payment once you check in. This was a bit confusing but easily explained. The property is very convenient if you are doing a road trip as it’s right off the high way. We slept well, it was clean and comfortable. Great location between Monterey and Carmel, and super affordable.

    IT Was Terrible to receive a phone call from the hotel letting me know that my reservation was canceled and I had to scramble at midnight to find a terrible motel 30 minutes away from Monterey at a higher price because you overbooked and according to the guy that called, my reservation should not have been made!

    The lady at Reception was really friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size, particularly the twin room with a coffee machine which was very welcome. The rooms were clean and tidy although they could do with replacing some cracked tiles. The location is on a main road with places to eat nearby and just a short drive to the beach. There was plenty of free parking. We didn't have time to use the pool but it looked nice. The motel felt safe with a pretty exterior. We had a really pleasant stay here.
