We stayed here for our mini moon just now. We’ve stayed here before for one night and we liked it so we had to come back. The check in was smooth and we happened to get a cold and I used a lot of tissue boxes and toilet paper. Thankfully they were always replenished everyday we were there and it was so helpful when we felt so bad. The room was sweet and had everything we needed. It was clean and we enjoyed using the coffee maker and mini fridge. The soap smells really good and there’s plenty of toiletries if needed. We washed a load of laundry which was a good price, $6 total to wash and dry. Sadly there’s only one set so we made some guests sigh in frustration when we did a load and we made it to the laundry room first. It’s in an easy location to go retreat to at night. We had a hard time connecting to the casting on the tv to watch YouTube and other streaming platforms from our devices but cable tv is always good too. The sheets were nice but the comforter was strangely a hard plastic casing that was in between a top sheet and another top sheet so touching that in sleep was weird. Not my favorite part of the room. We’d definitely stay here again because the room is nice, the neighbors are decently quiet and the price point is unbeatable. We appreciate our stay and the cleaning staff/ front desk that helped us and took care of our needs. Thank you!

We have a tradition in our family where my husband, my son and myself will go to the Monterey area around Christmas time to spend a few days with our other son and daughter in law. We tried this hotel last year and was satisfied, so we decided to try it again this year. When I made the reservation, I opted to pay at the property at the time we checked in. I reserved 2 rooms and thought everything was good. About a week prior to check in I received an email saying the payment for the second room didn’t go through. I told them I had money allocated for this reservation slated to be there on the day of check in. Then I get another email saying my reservations were cancelled due to a declined payment. I thought that was the end of it. Then on the original day of check in I received a phone call asking what time I would be there. I told them they cancelled my reservations and I wouldn’t be there at all. I was told by the clerk that called me that she would check with the manager and get back with me. I never heard back AND they took my money for reservations THEY cancelled. I’ve tried reaching out with no success.
