The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and clean with what felt like high-quality bedding. Shower was nice, they had very unique lighting, which was cool. We unfortunately had a bad neighbor, slamming doors and fighting all night, but it was not the hotel’s fault. All hardwood floors, which is a must."

Monarch Valley Inn Marina at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"The motel is solid for the price. It was well lit and felt safe at night. The king room I’d booked was also fairly spacious and was decorated quite nicely. Unfortunately, there were a few hairs that were not mine in the sheets when I’d lifted the covers for the first time. In addition, for those booking the downstairs king bedrooms, the footsteps in the rooms above can sound rather loud due to the laminate flooring, though thankfully the guests above me were not running around, and so it wasn’t as loud as it could have been. Although a much smaller concern, there was no conditioner available, even after I’d asked the front desk. I’m unsure if they were just out the one night I was there or if only shampoo and soap are supplied in each room. Breakfast is free but on the lighter side and consisted of one banana, tangerine, granola bar, madeline, and yogurt per person in a brown to-go bag, as well as free coffee. For those unaware, check in is at the back of the gas station and can be accessed through a glass door to the left side of the automatic sliding door entrance to the gas station mini mart. There was a gas station in the same lot as the motel, with a wall serving as a divider between the gas station and the rooms for some privacy. While it was convenient being able to grab snacks and gas before hitting the road, there were some cars during the night that would either drive by loudly or make a lot of noise while filling up. Overall a good stay and was worth it."

Seascape Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location and well maintained property. Excellent restaurant (Sanderlings). Need to add smart TVs or Fire Sticks for in- room entertainment options."

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Morgan Hill-San Jose South

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, very clean, nice indoor pool and hot tub, Good hot breakfast. Gave me an extra hour to check out."

Marea Sol Hotel

Seaside Inn & Suites
