The history of the building and the affordability of the rooms is the reason we chose to stay here. The host, Queen, made our stay even better than we anticipated because she was amazingly accommodating, communicative and so warm and friendly. Even though the building is in a predominantly industrial area we were glad we stayed there because it was quiet and provided a great night's rest.
My boyfriend and I wanted to get away for the holiday and we booked last minute and we found this gem Ruby was amazing so helpful the place was cozy and charming and it had a stove to cook !! I'll definitely be back thanks Ruby & The Monterey staff!!
It's a cheap motel, but really clean and nice for the price. No bad smells or so. The outside seating area is nice and cosy. I was surprised by the breakfast - it had snacks, instant oatmeal, even fresh fruit and boiled eggs!

The property is now a homeless shelter still listed on Expedia. We were sent an email by Expedia and the property for our stay and got there to be told it’s a homeless shelter.

somewhat sketchy neigborhood, with people sleeping in cars outside the hotel. But owner made sure I was able to get in even when I forgot to let him know about late check in. Room was nice
The property was in a dangerous neighborhood and i felt uncomfortable leaving my car in the parking lot. It is a roach motel.
I qould not recommend and i would not stay again.
The gentleman upon check in was super nice!
The place looked clean but very old stove and there were spider webs in the restroom and hiding stains that needs to be clean out!
There was no hot or cold water to shower.
The area were the motel is very quiet
There is no elevator
Even though we didnt end up staying i just want to say the woman that assisted us when we arrived was so incredibly nice and inviting. You have a gem on your hands. Ive veen working in hotels for years and its hard to find someone that is not jaded from the industry. Hold onto that woman, shes a keeper. ❤️
DO NOT STAY HERE!!! This was the absolute WORST hotel my family has ever stayed in! The beds were like trying to sleep on a bag of rocks. The room was so dirty and trashy we were genuinely afraid we would get bed bugs.
The neighborhood was so seedy that we didn’t dare leave the hotel. Absolutely worst hotel!!!!
The place was a mess. It was very dirty and not kept up.
The person at the front desk did not know what he was doing.
