It all depends on context. I visited this property during Monterey Car Week when even the Motel 6 is a $600 a night investment. The motel has a very convenient location and the staff was great with 24 hour per day on site security ensuring that the place was as safe as possible. With all that said, the rooms are outdated and a bit worn, though relatively clean. During MCW, I have stayed at places running the entire gamut from $1800 a night to motels like this. Overall, I think the value was great and I would recommend this during those high leverage occasions when the budget doesn't permit spending several thousands of dollars for what is a bed for a few hours a night. As long as your eyes are open and expectations realistic, it wasn't a horrible experience.

The Establishment did not meet even the lowest of expectations especially for a single female Traveler. I felt very uncomfortable and ended up not staying. There was lots of deferred maintenance and I just did not feel comfortable staying. Before booking this hotel I would check in and see if they have cleaned things up.

This hotel was absolutely unacceptable. It was so bad we left even though they refused to refund. Walls were damaged, there was holes in the sheets, and the tv did not work. It was bot cery clean. I wish I haf taken pictures to post. It should be removed due to poor quality. I had stayed here years ago without concern. Just a place for the night. It’s so bad they had a security guard on site at tiny motel.

I’m surprised that Expedia is listing this as one of the properties. I’ve been to third world country’s with better and cleaner accomodations. Room smelled like smoke, the bedspread had cigarette burn holes in them. The sheets looked like they haven’t been washed, wires sticking out of the walls and paint is peeling of the rooms. We checked in then checked out. It ruined our weekend stay.

Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.

This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.

Floors were sticky. Hair, gravel and stains on and in the sheets. Asked the manager to change the sheets while we were out during the first day, and he only changed one of the beds. There wasnt even a lamp shade on the bedside lamp. Just a dirty and gross experience. Would not recommend to anyone
