My only complaint is the water pressure in the room. I've never encountered such poor water pressure. The shower was unusable, but there was a tub. So I was still able to get clean."

"After a terrible hotel experience in Pismo Beach we arrived a day early and asked to see a room before we stayed an extra night here. Craig was thoughtful enough to show us a room that was remodeled and clean. We were relieved! We’ve stayed at all levels of hotels and this is a nice property at an affordable rate. We now have a new go to hotel in Monterey!! Very short walk to everything you’d need, even a Trader Joe’s, Rosine’s for a delicious sit down meal (ate breakfast and lunch here), Red’s...
