Check in was quick, room was very clean and updated. A thicker blanket would be great, don’t want to use the heater and then try and sleep in a stuffy room with no blankets.

The staff was nice and helpful. The only thing that stood out was that there was an old mattress that was outside our room during our whole stay. The parking is a very small area.

My first choice in Monterey! I am a repeat customer here, so this review comes after over three years of staying here probably around 50 nights over the three years. I come back here because the staff is family operated, and their computers save my preferences, since some rooms don't work for me, but it's in their system so every time I call, they know what rooms I prefer. They just did a remodel, and the price is still very competitive!
