"There were some changes since the last time we stay here in 2023. The breakfast does not have any eggs, yogurt, or fruits anymore. They put in a coffee/mocha/latte machine. The heater/fan makes noises so we had to turn it off even though it was colder than we like in the room. Then it was kind of stuffy in the room without airflow. We opened the window for awhile, which helped. The tap water has bleach smell. The staff is accommodating."

"Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked out at 9am. We went for a stroll in the town, and returned after an hour. When we returned at 10am I asked the staff (not the friendly staff helped us check in) if I can use a restroom. Knowing we just checked out, the staff bluntly replied there isn’t public toilet in the hotel, so we’d better use the one in the local park. When we asked if we could go back to our room to use the toilet as it’s still early. His said the cleaners were already in. We then walked to our car which was next to our room, only to find the cleaners hadn’t been at all. Zero hospitality, disappointed."

"The hotel is located in the center of Monterey. The pick-up room was small, but it had coffee and snacks. We arrived at 12:30 and asked if we could leave our luggage. They offered to drive us to the 17-Mile Drive and Carmel-by-the-Sea. The front desk initially said there would be a $20 fee for early check-in, but since we asked to store our luggage, they probably thought it was too much trouble and agreed to let us check in early for free. The room had a microwave and refrigerator, a separate shower and toilet, and large windows. The only downside was the lack of an elevator; we had to carry our luggage to the second floor ourselves, though it wasn't too high. The hotel was quiet and safe. We were very satisfied. There was no one at the front desk when we checked out; we just dropped the key into a box similar to a mailbox."

Private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations feature complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.

"Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail."

The location was good, a short walk to Asilomar Beach which is a wonderful coastal trail with deer, bunnies & lots of birds in the early morning (before 7am). Was a bit disappointed that no bottled water was available in the room, and the lobby was locked before 8am and after 9pm when we wanted to get a drink. The coffee maker has water tasting of coffee, which is not ideal for non-coffee drinkers like myself. Toothbrushes not provided. My emails prior to the stay went unanswered. It was suggested that we pay $20 for laundry, and we had to ask multiple times where they either told us it was too early / too late and then to look for housekeeping to ask on our own. Night time is quiet but day time is noisy once housekeeping commences, and in the afternoon we had several calls and knocks on our door from housekeeping when we were trying to rest. They did not wait for us to answer but kept calling. I'm likely to choose a different place for future stays. There are several in this same location that are not as costly. I only chose this because the reviews seemed great.

This was my first time staying at a motel. The facilities were similar to those of budget hotels in China—clean and new. It had its own small yard, and parking was relatively safe. The only downside was that when I arrived at night, there was no one at the front desk; I had to press the disabled access bell to get someone to check me in. There's a commercial area across the street with supermarkets and restaurants, making dining convenient. The 17 Mile Golf Resort in town (which charges an entrance fee) has beautiful scenery and is well worth a visit.

There are no attractions around the hotel and it takes 40 minutes to walk by the sea. As a temporary accommodation, if you are on vacation, you will be free from entertainment and leisure. Hotel Wi-Fi is not good, maybe I live on the far side, there is almost no net in the room. The hotel has coffee, bread, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, but it is simple but can be eaten. The customer service was not particularly clean. When I went in, I found black stains on the sheets. The front desk sent me sheets to let me change, saying that the waiters were off work. In short, I feel like a hotel.

It was past nine o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, and the office was closed. Remember to call the office in advance. They will leave the room number and key card in an iron mailbox next to the office door. It's easy to see. The location of the hotel is very convenient, and the self-driving supermarket is also very close. The price I set is probably not expensive around here, and I think it's pretty good.

Our room was a bit small since we booked an economy room, but for a popular tourist area, it offered good value for money. I thought parking would be charged, but it turned out to be free. Overall, I'd still recommend it.
