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!!!

Everything was great! The local park was under construction, so we weren’t able to enjoy that, but we did go to Cannery Row and we were able to spend time with my son who’s a senior at CSUMB, which was the main goal of our trip.
