A good choice for car week

Best combination, I thought, between economics and location during Monterey car week. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the included breakfast was filling enough to start the day. Location was close to 101 freeway, but the noise was acceptable from my room. Also, it was close to In 'n Out, a couple of minutes of walking, which was a bonus. And neighborhood was not an issue. All in all, a good choice.

Clean and fulfilled our need for a room to stay in but nothing exciting. WORST hotel coffee we have ever had! Can’t even consider what they served as real coffee.
