I got a ada mobility accessible room with roll in shower. It was very good. the only down side was it only had one bed and the pillows were horrible. I did have to request more towel and wash cloths. The stay was very nice and quiet. Easy to get into and park.

Room was clean and spacious but smelled like bleach and didn’t make the room feel inviting. Room was bare and felt cheap - no nightstands except metal hanging shelves and one metal chair with a small half table. No cot or shelf for luggage and no closet. Small burned holes in sheets on bed and mattress wasn’t very sturdy and was very loud getting on and off. Bathroom was spacious and clean but again felt cheap. Outside of hotel was dirty and didnt feel safe.

The room and the bathroom were not perfectly clean and the shampoo was lucking, but it was still acceptable. We booked a room with a kitchenette in order to be able to cook something for the kids, but the kitchenette was so poorly equipped, so it wasn't possible to prepare anything. So it's better not to count in that facility and just eat in ine if the places in the area (there are some restraunts nearby).

This was a fine option for staying in Seaside. I would have liked if the floors and bathroom were cleaned a bit more, but it was acceptable. Staff seemed stretched very thin but they were quite accommodating. Our room was quite large and comfortable.

Owners are working on upgrading an older facility and are doing a good job. Unfortunately, the motel is on a busy street. Pretty sculpted doors not dusted, though the counters,sink and bathroom looked clean.

Good value for 2 nights. Room is clean, close to Laguna Seca, nearby restaurants and Costco, to fill up before heading home.
