Houston (HOU) to Monterey (MRY)

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,537 reviews)

The place is clean and the rooms spacious, but the amenities are ackward: the fire pit for example required driving to, the fireplace didn't work in our room (they couldn't even fix it), the room heater controller was so unusual that it didn't just work like a thermostat but had some strange "Day/Night" setting. There were also large shipping containers onsite, maybe for a remodel, why knows, they took up the parking lot so that the balcony view was basically the roof of the containers. Overall not a good atmosphere.
