Would not recommend
No complaints about the room, but overall stay experience wasn't great. We stayed for a right as we were visiting Monterey. We asked at the check-in if he can recommend any restaurants, and he said he doesn't know of any. The breakfast setup (including food options) was horrible. Everything packed in a 10'x10' room. We had to eat outside.
Room was nice and clean. However, terrible breakfast…broken coffee machine for my 2 day stay, miniature breakfast room with room for no more than 6 people because this is a motel advertised as a hotel and therefore breakfast room is in reception area which is small. Fridge did not work in other room we had. Breakfast eating would be at best a two. Lousy reception staff. This is not a Best Western quality at all!
Pros: price, clean room, comfortable bed, microwave, fridge.
Cons: noisy location, poor water pressure and temperature, no curtains, only low quality shutters so lots of light when sleeping. Probably wouldn't stay again.
Room was ok, a little pricey in my opinion. Located right infront of a homeless encampment. There was tape on the blinds, the shower knobs were so loose and difficult to get any type of correct temperature because of it. The tv did not work at all (kept losing the signal the whole stay) so that was a inconvenience. Then around 12am we got cold and called front desk to see if we could get an extra blanket and they said no mam’ we are closed lol. So I don’t know about that part. Only good part of our stay was the jetted tub, it was a great size and jets actually worked. Would come back if I had a discounted price or promo but not full price.

Nice location, close costco and other shopping stores. Room and breakfast was ok.
I want to rate this hotel and the whole staff for accommodating us even if we check in after their regular hours. We checked in almost past 1am although their policy was the check in hours is between 3pm and 12mn. I asked for a consideration and favor to one of the staff when I called they asked what time we could arrived and they still accepted us after past midnight. Thank you to all the management of this Hotel.
Walls have little to no sound insulation. I could hear everything from my hotel neighbors. This woke me up and kept me up at night.

The bed was EXTREMELY hard! The room has a smell to it. The shower didn't stay hot...it was safe enough for a toddler to shower with the knob turned all the way on heat. The breakfast was frozen waffles, hard boiled eggs, cold cereal, a few slices of bread, envelopes of oatmeal and 3 green apples. The room didn't look like what was shown on line. I hate I chose this place in the end. I learned you can't always go CHEAP. Worse TWO days ever.
