Fine for the price
For the price, this place is more than adequate. It is ideally located-very close to all the touristy spots like Monterey and Carmel as well as the Gilroy Shopping Outlet, which is really 30 miles away, not 24 as the website may indicate. Be prepared for highway noise. Starting at 400am, the trucks start rolling in. The hotel description does not mention that it is right next to the highway. However, if you mention to the owner/manager that you would like a room away from the highway, they will be more than happy to accommodate you. The hotel is situated next to a Denny's, a gas station, and a Wendy's. The continental breakfast is not really continental; rather, small boxes of sugared cereal and packaged danishes. The actual room is clean, the bed firm, the lighting is a bit dim, and the tv does not have good reception despite the fact that it has cable. But all rooms are equipped with a coffee maker, a hair dryer, a mini-frig,and an ironing board, for those who need it. An added benefit is the FREE WI-FI.
