My latest stay

Stayed 2 days for the car race. Room was clean and well stocked with towels and a Keurig coffee machine. I’ve stayed at this property which then had a different name, and presumed different owner. Very convenient location to the Del Monte mall, downtown Monterey and the wharf. Only issue is tight parking, but everyone seemed to fit

Nice location between Carmel by the sea, Pebble beach and the drive out to Big Sur. Room was nice for a one night stay. Some fixtures were loose but still usable. Value was excellent! Main drawback was no hair conditioner - conditioning shampoo doesn't cut it. Had tons of knots after washing my hair. Did not bring conditioner due to limiting liquids on flight.

Ugh!

While the room looked like it had been update, the room wasn’t very clean. I walked barefoot in the room and the bottom of my feet were black. I didn’t even shower while there as I was concerned about the cleanliness.
