“This motel offers budget-friendly accommodation in Monterey, but reports suggest inconsistencies in service. While some find it acceptable for the price, others have noted issues with housekeeping and perceived staff unfriendliness. It seems essential to manage expectations regarding amenities, as advertised offerings may not always align with the actual experience.”
