Wonderful spacious place. Clean, plenty of room and amenities.Walkable to Marina beach. A little further out of town than we expected. But there are some good restaurants in a short driveThe park just a few house down is perfect for dogs and kids

Nice base to return to
Came over for a long weekend ending on Monday with a wedding. This was a good place to stay while exploring the Marina/Seaside/Monteray area.

Excellent location and very comfortable!
We were very happy with how easy it was to get to this location, the cleanliness of the place and the comfort of the bed and pillows! An amazing bang for your buck as the hotel rooms down the street were $300/night more....without a kitchen! Easy to get to Monterey and Carmel without the congestion of the towns. We also went kayaking at the Elkhorn Slough...about a 10 min drive!! We will be back, without a doubt!!!
