Very good

Liked: A perfectly satisfactory place to crash for the night if exploring Monterey etc., at a good price. Cheap and functional. Clean and tidy. The heating worked well, and there are enough restaurants within driving distance to find an evening meal.
Disliked: Impossible to find at night (especially if raining). Hidden behind the gas station, the address given is that for the main road (gas station), whereas the entrance is around the corner. No signage on either entrance. The guy at reception, who also seemed to work at the gas station, could have smiled. Just once. That would have been nice.Breakfast bag was a mix of extremes. A decent amount of fruit, bananas, mandarins - very good, or sticky cinnamon buns and sweet yoghurt.

Very good

Very good

Disliked: too close to main road, too much light around property

Maybe only stay here if...

Liked: We were arrived 30 minutes passed closing time, which I thought was weird that the office closed like that. What if weary travelers hit snags along the way? It happens. Anyway, the guy stayed late for us to check in. That is the ONLY positive things about this place.
Disliked: We drove 7 hours to get here. There was visible dirt in the bed, like someone slept in it before us with their boots on. There was rust and peeling paint. It felt like we were in an old hospital room that they TRIED to convert into a hotel room. My family and I slept on top of the blankets that night and found a new hotel the next morning.

The place is amazing but...

Liked: Great staffing and fast friendly service.
Disliked: The shower head was not working and I was not pleased with that. I didn't took a comfortable shower and that was not nice.

I don't ask for much...

Liked: Front desk was very helpful even at a late hour.

Superb

Happy with our stay and...

Liked: The room was spacious, the beds comfortable, the go-to breakfast bag was full of healthy snacks and fruits. The price was fantastic and the staff was very friendly.
Disliked: The door to the room took some extra effort to close and the bathroom door wouldn't close enough to be locked.

Very good

Liked: Friendly staff got quickly got us set up in two rooms after asking if we preferred to be on the ground floor since we were traveling with small children (much appreciated!). The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The small refrigerators came in handy as we were "brown bagging" it the next day. Breakfast was simple but filling.
Disliked: There was no ice in the ice machine in the morning and I wished there was just black coffee vs. hazelnut.
