All in all, this was not a bad place. It was less than a mile and a half from the highway and there was a grocery store right down the street and it was about 10 to 15 miles away from Monterey the young man at the desk I forgot his name unfortunately he seemed to be in his early 20s was very knowledgeable and gave me information about where to give breakfast lunch and dinner from and then also the continental breakfast was also nice. This is a very nice quiet place to stay. I cannot say anything bad.
