Room was clean, as was the bathroom, with more than ample towels and washcloths. No stale ordors whatsoever; large wall-mounted TV, cable service, refrig, microwave also in the room. Have no difficulty at all accessing the internet. [The unfortunate problem was not with the motel, but the noisy people in the room above us. Due to a knee injury, required... More

Booked this for a short weekend getaway to the beach and were pleasantly surprised: checkin was very short. involving minimum exchange of words, creditcard, id, and room key, no upstairs available since fully booked. Room recently renovated with shiny laminate wood floor (no carpet - great!), tiles in bathroom, energy-efficient lighting throughout, fridge, microwave. Bed comfortable & clean. Table and... More

We stayed here one night to visit Point Lobos and Carmel next day. It was a clean motel with microwave and mini fridge. Very close to Monterey Fisherman's Wharf, less than 10 minutes drive. More

We stayed overnight in seaside to avoid higher hotel rates in Monterey.....It was a clean,average motel room including frige &microwave. great for an overnight stay. It was a block behind the main drag where most of the other motels were , so it was quiet. They provided toast,juice, coffee , danish,&waffles in ther small lobby with a couple of tables.... More

Stayed in this hotel as a stop on a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. The hotel is close to restaurants and shops, including a grocery store, and a short drive to Monterey. Large room with a microwave and fridge and a free breakfast. Close to beach and right off highway. Impressed for the price and motel style. More

I am convinced that the reviews on this website were posted by employees because they in no way mirror the experience I just had with Shirley Garcia, the agent I just spoke to. I called to cancel a reservation according to their 48 hour cancellation policy and all she kept telling me was that I had to contact Booking.com even... More

Pros - rooms are large - breakfast was decent; there was a waffle machine and lots of bread - parking's free Cons - old school style motel / hotel which is kinda in the middle of nowhere. Impossible to get around without a car - a couple of miles from the main action in Monterey Overall: Most would stop in... More

I agree with the positive comments from other reviewers. It is clean and spacious. We had no problem with wi-fi. Speed was fast enough. It was quiet. The bed was good enough. Convenient location. Con: 1. They have orange night-light. Kind of weird. 2. No milk serving for the breakfast. 3. Cigerette holes on the blanket. They have spent money... More
