We were looking for an affordable option while exploring Monterey Bay area and that's what we got. Clean, comfortable, safe and affordable. This is a very basic, older, remodeled motel. No frills, no extras. A little neighbor noise if you are on the bottom floor/near the stairs. The USB ports didn't work, but everything else did. Ice, but no vending machines. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The linens were crisp white and very clean. We felt very safe during our 3 day visit, parking lot as well. It's high on the hill, so you need to drive to everywhere, but it's only about 5 minutes to the marina. The staff, possibly the owners, were sweet and the pride they feel for their little motel is very apparent. We felt welcome. There is no place for kids to play outside, so for that reason alone, I can't recommend for families. Fine for adults, though. Bottom line, if you're looking for a clean, safe, comfortable, affordable place in the area, this will work. If you're used to little soaps, vending machines, pools/spas, not your kind of place.
