Worse motel experience in my life. A stranger knocking on the door at 2am; sink needed repair; parking area was borderline dangerous. We had to pay a $20 deposit just to use the TV remote. We come to Monterey Park 3 to 4 times a year, but don't plan to stay here again.

Not worth the price. Over $100 for 1 night. Wasn’t clean and was noisy. Checked out early due to that. Just needed a night to stay but couldn’t even sleep due to feeling unsafe.

The carpet was filthy, there was black mold in the shower, and a few of the wall sockets wouldn't hold my phone charger. I will not be going back.

Good location, big rooms, huge private bathrooms, cable/adult channel, and pretty relaxing. But...the beds are noisy. So if you do the do with your significant other...get a room on the 1st floor. Or else everyone is gonna hear your business.

Shower knob was dysfunctional and falling off so that was really strange. The place was otherwise adequate but I would not return here.

Our door didn’t lock (room 001). The bathroom door didn’t lock. There was only one outlet far from the bed, the table was incredibly rickety, and the light was really dim and would flicker. Plus the TV was tiny and had glitches that wouldn’t let us see the screen. The people were incredibly nice and welcoming though.

Its decent for a motel. The rooms are spacious but the shower head is a small old school plastic shower head, the bed was a box spring bed, not even with a memory foam gel topper. For the price you pay, it is what u get.
