Everything is automated from the check in to the turn down service request to check out. The bedroom needs an extra mirror. My room was a queen and we only had a mirror in the bathroom. Plenty of parking and everything was clean
Location was close enough to entertainment locations without the crouds . Room looked recently remodeled and pool was beautiful. I would stay there again if I travel back to Montery.
Room was very clean and nicely done. Lighting outside was a bit bright so our room (203) had light filtering in through the blinds. Staff was very pleasant and courteous. Overall a good, economical place to stay. Renovations being done that seem like they will make it an even more pleasant place to stay.
Very nice stay, great restaurant and lounge/bar. Clean room and staff great!👍

Our TV didn’t work the first night. The carpets were consistently damp. We were told the property was service animals only but we had the pleasure of hearing dogs barking at all hours. We were also advised of construction just 2 days before our trip, noise to start at 830, however most days it started before 8. The beds were incredibly hard and uncomfortable. The staff was very kind and mostly available but didn’t seem bothered by the dogs or noise. Hopefully the upgrades are effective as this area is quiet as far as road and foot traffic while being in a great convenient location.
