"A clean and decent place"

8.0

This was a place to lay our heads between workdays at the Monterey car shows. It was clean and decent, and more affordable than the outrageous prices in Monterey.

"Comfy, clean, quiet motel."

9.0

This motel was very comfortable. The large room looked like it had been recently updated. Outlets were available where they were most convenient. Nice shower. Very clean.

Difficult to get receptionist attention when checking out.
