The Monterey Motel
Rooms are clean, well decorated and modern but not my thing. Not a fan of the “doorless shower” the floor still ended up wet. The area is very noisy but thats not the fault of the property owners. Check in is at the bar with was odd but well handled. Parking is not adequate enough..

The Querque Hotel
AC didn't keep the room cool. Barking dogs someone's room on the middle of the night. Loud drinking people in the hallway in middle of the night Drapes would stay closed to assure privacy.
