Dirty and loud, hard to rest.

Perfect
Andrea, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a decent hotel for the price we got it for, it just was a little dirty, our sheet had some nasty substance on them
Crystal, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

the beds are hard, the place is run down,
Cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is on the older side and the room we stayed in was simple with two full beds and a table with no chairs. The bathroom had cracked tiles and mildew.
Tracy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The proprietors were extremely warm and friendly people.
Leslie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible run down place.

The room had no chairs, just an old table and bed, coffee maker did not work, shower did not have hot water, the bed was so uncomfortable we left after 1st night, would never stay there again, run down, when asked for chairs said no one asked for chairs and brought us I desk chair.
Diana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!
Abigael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very old property. Bathrooms are horrible
Joseph, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

convenient location, There was no pole in the closet to hang my clothes. There is no rubber non slip mat for the bathtub.
Donald, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You get what you pay for
Guillermo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was easy to get in and out
Bruce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs renovation.
Leticia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was definitely affordable thats a plus but there was a weird smell outside and the noise was unreal
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great rate for a last minute, one night stay, in Monterey. Bed was clean as was the rest of the room. Unfortunately, the bath tub wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as the rest of the room. Other than that, it was a good value for short notice on a weekend.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bed and a shower, convenient free parking, friendly and fast check in, slow Wifi. No coffee facilities in room or on site. But it was cheap.
Allan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

You get what you pay for. The beds are not comfortable. If you're in a tight budget or a last minute booking then this place is good.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I would never stay here. As soon as I saw the room I got out. Smelled horrible. And had mold on walls. There was hair on the bathroom floor and a used towel that was hanging on the bathroom door.
Yesel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tweaker hotel

This is the worst place I ever stayed at there was construction at hotel which is fine but after 10pm is ridiculous. We had no toliet paper no garbage no towels no chair for room. The internet is spotty and tv does not work. There were a lot of drug addicts.
Kristy, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

There are buds in the bed. I was bite by these bugs. I can’t sleep in the night. :(
Xiaobing, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It wasn’t what was shown in the pictures. The place was very sketchy. Rooms where not adequate for stay. I guess they did as much as they had staff for. But this inn needs a deep cleaning and a revamping asap. Manager was nice an accommodating but the property is way to old. Did not look like the pictures at all.
Claudia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We had to ask for face cloths. The room floor was dirty and they had a coffee machine but no coffee to use in the machine. Building was on a hill so the parking lot was slopped and hard to find a spot to park. Very poorly managed, I don’t recommend this place.
Ginger, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Floors were sandy, no washcloths, hand towels, kleenex, coffee, creamer, shampoo, conditioner, soap. Bed sheets didn't fit & kept pulling off of mattress. The place looked like they house the homeless & drug users - vacationers are an inconvenience. Never in my 67 years have I been so disgusted with a hotel booking
William, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

half star

In the beginning we had room #131 which was a dump. Dirty and 2 towels and no trash can. I had emailed for a ADA room. They eventually moved myself to a ADA room below and my friends shared a 1 bedroom. I will not be coming back to this place or referring any friends there.
