It was a great stay. Rooms seem newly renovated. Nothing was out of place or questionable. The heated pool was wonderful. Monterey is usually cold and pools are usually cold as well. I slept soooo well, very quiet. Beds are extremely comfortable. We went to the aquarium, the drive was a tiny bit tricky not knowing the area well BUT it was definitely worth it. This will definitely be my go to place when visiting Monterey. Half of the complex is single story if you don't want someone above or below you. I'm glad we found this place especially for the pool. No more stress about entertaining kids till evening.

I usually book hotels by reviews when I've never been to a hotel. Well not sure what people liked here. It's not that it was terrible because it was clean, but it was more like an old Motel 6 with slightly remodeled tiny rooms, old outside, thin walls, and not the best area. So for the overly priced $200, would not stay there again. Staying near the Cannery and the Wharf which are about 10 minutes away will be even more pricey. But the key here is that it's a Motel not a Hotel and that's what you get.
