3 day get away

Conditions good except for bed. Bed was uncomfortable to sleep on(uneven). Definitely need to replace the bed. Good location from mall, freeway, Carmel and ocean.

Not to shabby I guess

It was alright, clean for the most part. A little old, at least the room I stayed in was. I was I room 30. But we also were late to check out and they were lenient. The second day they weren’t and kicked us out but that’s my own fault. We stayed up late so we ended up waking up late. But overall it was cool.

It reminds me of a motel. Very noisy Room was clean but the bathroom just looked old the toilet had a push button on top was green did not flush well. The parking lot was small and a hump that hit the car really hard it would have been nice if it was smooth.the guy got us early check in that was nice but no personality not wanting to help, would say it’s close no input at all did not want to be bothered The good was they had free coffee in the check out area. Maybe a 11/2 Starr not impressed at all for they money you pay I would have rather paid a little me for a better hotel
