Close by to the Seaotter Classic
Good value for 2 nights. Room is clean, close to Laguna Seca, nearby restaurants and Costco, to fill up before heading home.

1 night only type of room
Booked two rooms on one reservation. Didn’t have them together. Rooms and lobby have a strange smell. Patio door wouldn’t open. Front door lock was difficult to turn. Beds are rock hard and noisy. Ac in one room wasn’t working properly so the room was stuffy. Definitely could not stay here more than 1 night.

It was a nice room, with excellent service from the nearby cleaning service ladies. Anything we needed they were so kind to help. It is a great walking distance from chain restaurants and Monterey beach. My family would definitely stay again.

Floors were filthy dirty, beds very hard and bases were squeaky whenever you move, and WiFi completely unusable. Rooms pet friendly but fees hidden on site when booking so we ending up paying $400 for 2 nights mid week for a very poor hotel.

I read a lot of reviews before and after booking here and we had absolutely none of the complaints others had. The room was decent, no frills, pretty clean all around. We got a bottom floor room because we had our small dog, which was great for us. We could hear upstairs walking around a little but it did not bother us. The metal frame on the bed was a bit squeaky, and the bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped, but I still slept soundly. We've stayed down the street from here before and had no problems with homeless or anything like that. Only thing was the price was a bit high, but I'm sure it's to be expected for the time of year and how close it is to the beach. Would definitely stay again for my next Monterey/Carmel trip.

The staff was very polite. Unfortunately the room we got had a kitchenette and the drawers had old debris, like a dirty cutting board and moldy garlic from past guests.

Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.

The room was uncomfortable with nowhere to really sit but a metal chair and a plywood table. The bed was overly hard and pillows flat. The bed was also smaller than the metal frame it sat on. So you would smack your knees when trying to lay down. The toilet in the room cycled every 5 to 10 minutes. The toilet was also not secured to the floor very well and rocked when you sat down.

We can start with the kid at the desk has a personality of a dead tree log.
We got three rooms for five nights each. Our bed had blood stains on it. 227
Room 229 had two pair of worn panties on the shower curtain.
They must have a drunk for house cleaning. The second floor has a linen closet left open. It had almost a fifth gone night one. When we left it had a new bottle opened and add with some Rum Chatta. But at least we could get clean towels since the office has banker hours.
The phones in the room are for display. You won't call the office or 911.
Cops where there half a day searching for someone.
The microwave is missing some of the feet so it's all over the place if you try and use it.
The refrigerator won't keep anything even below room temp.
This was our fourth year staying there. It's been under renovation that long now the renovation needs renovations.
We won't ever come back. It's is about as trashy as you can get.

First of all the moment you walk in the room it smells, like if they mop with dirty water, my son got a bug bite and at night it’s pretty loud we had two rooms right next to us getting it on multiple times that we could hear everything till 2am
