Close enough to enjoy Monterey, FAR less expensive. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool was nice & many guests were enjoying it. Yes, it's right near a highway (and so are several other hotels right there)but if you are looking for convenience, cleanliness & affordability, this is the place. We would definitely stay there again.
The location is handy, being right off of Hwy 101. The downside is that you get a lot of noise with the freeway traffic, almost all of the time. We also faced a gas station and it was also very noisy also. If we had been on the other side of the complex, that problem would have been alleviated.
The rooms were clean and the in-rom refrigerator ...
