We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I didn't want to set high expectations based on the location. It's a bit off that is next to a gas station, when we arrived we were not sure where to check in, no reception sign. So we walked into the gas station to ask, and to our surprise, there's a tiny desk at the back of the gas station where you check in. Again, seemed a little odd at first. But the room itself was spotless. You can see the headboard and baseboards are a bit scratched and outdated in some corners, BUT the bed was comfy, the room was clean and quiet. If you want a luxurious stay, this isn't it. If all you care about is cleanliness and budget, this is a great option and would definitely return. They offered a to go breakfast, but we did not make use of it as we had other plans. The location was great to visit Monterey & Carmel and we saved a lot of money by staying here. If you drive down the road you reach a beautiful beach for sunset.

Raul was very helpful and friendly. I did not realize the motel shared a parking lot with the gas station and convenience store, however, it did not present any problems. The room was clean!

Bad Customer Service Marred the Visit

The stay itself was great, room was clean and comfortable, no problems with shower or sink drains, A/C worked. Evening staff (a gentleman) was incredibly pleasant even gave food suggestions. However morning staff (a woman) was HORRIBLY unhelpful, unpleasant and almost made me wanting to cancel my entire stay. We arrived at 230pm and I understand that it was not check-in time; but she didn't even bother to check if at least one room was available so that we could freshen up before going to a show. She did not even touch her computer and simply told me to come back at 4pm.

Staff was nice, but would not stay again. Not a big fan of sharing the parking lot with a gas station. Also, TV was tiny (and I’m really not picky about that, but…this was ridiculous. Remote would only turn TV on and off (was stuck on ESPN). Breakfast was yogurt, bananas, mandarins, and coffee. They might want to just list it as coffee/snacks.
