Everything was good, but the toilet is a little low for a tall person. Otherwise convenient with walking around and shopping area. We will stay there again next time.

2 night stay in Monterey
It was an easy access room, super comfortable bed, great service! The only downside was the very small, low toilet.

Beautiful Location, but needs some work
The check-in process was smooth. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The location of this property was excellent really. However, the descriptions dont really match. The restaurant on property wasn't open. They advertised breakfast but they just have a few pastries available. The hot tub was out of service as well. The beds were also really uncomfortable and the pillows were exceptionally flat.

Run down and poorly maintained
The gentleman at check in was amazing. Super friendly and great personality. Location of the hotel was great. Other than those two things, I don’t have anything good to say. The condition of our room was terrible from paint falling off the walls, ripped up draperies, dirty toilet which was so loud when it flushed, poor condition of bathroom tile and plumbing fixtures, thin walls which meant we heard everything from other other rooms. This hotel needs a serious overhaul. Too much deferred maintenance.

Outdated & not cleaned well
Outdated property & ok for one night stay. Room was not cleaned well from previous stay. Bathtub had hairs all over it, floor was sticky & dirty. Shampoo/body wash bottles were empty. Fridge was not plugged in. Toilet was clogged. Front desk service was friendly & tried their best to handle things. We tipped housekeeper but they don't really deserve it.
