Clean room, awesome atmosphere inside the room. BUT pillows sucked, and the water pressure in the shower was TERRIBLE. Overall great experience especially for the price for 2 nights.

Absolutely loved this hotel and I’m a hotel snob. It was like a row of little chalets. Spotlessly clean inside and a lovely spacious room. Ice machine was right outside our front. Free parking and close to a few fast food restaurants. About a mile away from Monterey Harbour. I will def stay here again if I’m in the area. Loved it!!
