Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.

Check in was fairly normal, receptions asked me three times for my name and after not “finding” me I gave him my ID card then he “found” me. He kept saying another name thinking I was that person. Paint was coming off the walls, pillows were so flat you needed to use both just to feel like you had a pillow. Towels were barely large enough to cover yourself. Having nextflix was nice. Someone came knocking on our door just before 10 to ask if we were checking out that day. Check out was at 11 and we booked just one night. I don’t know if I would stay there again but they need to invest in their basics and update their rooms.

Filthiest hotel room of all time. I made the mistake of removing the bedspread from the bedding. Big mistake. It took 15 minutes to figure out how to take a warm shower. I had freezing cold and boiling hot figured out in 30 seconds. This room should have rented for 6 bucks a night.

Hate to be negative but Hotels.com should pull this one off the list. Where do I begin. Patch job walls with no paint, Holes in floor, wouldn’t dare take a shower in the moldy shower (I don’t know if I am up to date on all of my vaccines). Sheet’s were clean. Staff was nice but that didn’t make up for the lack of maintenance to the room. I know it’s a budget hotel but budget some money for upkeep…
2.0 / 10.0
This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.

This place is horrible. I have taken pictures to document the state of the room. Neighborhood is sketch, there are no locks on the windows, inadequate window coverings, Filthy walls bedcovers. There are missing outlet plates, there was one dirty towel. There are homeless people hanging out under the stairwell. If it wasn’t so late I would be looking for another place to stay. And I will be looking to get my money back.

Horrible place. We had to leave abd find another place to stay. It was dirty, smelly and very unsafe. I will never book with Expedia again if that is the kind of place they use on there site.

The room had a terrible stale smoke (and other) odor. Parts of the room were very dirty. The bedding look old and used. See attached pictures. I did not stay the night but, luckily was able to book a room in a nearby hotel through Hotels.com.
I will be requesting a refund from Hotels.com.
Sorry to the owners of the Economy motel for writing this review but they need to know and other potential customers need to know.

The paint was peeling off the walls. The electrical outlet in the bathroom didn't work. There were no towels in the room after I checked in, so I had to go and find someone and ask for them. The office was locked and no one was available to check me in when I arrived.

The worst hotel I've ever seen! I don’t know why Expedia even offers this hotel.
The room wasn't cleaned when I checked in. When I finally got the room the room was disgusting. I've stayed in better hotels in Mexico. There were cigarette burns on the sheets. The locks on the door were broken ! There wasn't a smoke detector. The room was still dirty. There were holes and patches everywhere. There were boot marks on the door. The room smelled liked cigarettes.
The manager would not give us a refund.
DO NOT STAY HERE !!!!!!

Check in was awful. Room not ready until 2 hours after the allotted time to check in.
2.0 / 10.0
Well ….this was the only place available on an emergency type work trip on a holiday weekend…check in staff was great. The price was definitely right considering I booked the night before on a holiday weekend and it was in Monterey. The next decently affordable hotel was 20+ mi away.
Parking was available but not much and the parking lot is incredibly awkward.
Rooms were something…glad we were there for only one night. Major disrepair everywhere. Furniture was beat up, scratched, water damaged and every room smelled like old smoke. Tub spigot was detached by a good 2 inches from wall, I didn’t bother taking a shower. TV wouldn’t turn on. AC was lukewarm. One of the beds (2 full size in room) didn’t have sheets. No bed bugs though, so that’s positive . Fast food Trash outside my room. A guy who just got out of jail was there walking around asking to crash in one of our rooms…fun!
All in all, pretty janky place, I’ll definitely never stay there again unless under extreme circumstances. At least I’ll know what I’m getting into.
Good luck out there!

The good: Shower was nice and hot with great water pressure.
The bad:
The floor wasn't finished, there was a gap that showed the subfloor. The window curtains won't stay closed, I had to hold it down with some bags. Room reeks of smoke although it's supposed to be non-smoking. The furniture is falling apart. One bath towel and one face towel and not floor mat supplied. Door has no secondary security mechanism. Box spring just sitting on the floor. Lights needed to be messed with to work. The mattress is uncomfortable. Brought my own pillow.

Great place for a quick overnight stay for rest without paying outrages rates. Super dirty rooms and tiny parking lot. Room smelled like bleach the entire night. I loved the outside look of the hotel because it looks like a small motel in a small town kinda vibe but the inside is in terrible conditions. You really do get what you pay for so don’t expect a 5 star hotel for the price you pay.

The owner stepped in a couple times. But it was continuing arguing in the room next starting at 8pm to 4am. With me paying money and from what was screamed they were friends of owner and didnt pay

Mold, blocked stairwell, manager was rude and screammed at vustomers. Refused to return deposit with no cause. Police called and said he has a long history of doing this so the cjty wants him shut down. The deposit is now a civil matter and he is alleged to be a meth user. His behavior certainly reflects this. Never have I ever experienced a stay like this.
