Just so-so - there are better options for less

Pictures are deceiving. Hotel was just “okay”. At check in the front desk staff tried to charge me an extra person fee saying my oldest child was older than 12. I told her I input all that information when booking and was already charged the fee. She insisted she must charge me an additional fee until I pulled out my phone and showed her the hotels.com receipt with the charge. Her response was that the information doesn’t always come through and she apologizes and then “upgraded” us to a room with a fireplace. I appreciate the attempt at repair but it annoyed me. Then our lights didn’t work (a prior guest must have unplugged them behind a night stand) - took ages to figure that out. Toilet ran all night. Beds were hard. Given how many options are available in this price range and below, I’d choose elsewhere. Check reviews on Yelp - they seem more accurate.

A lovely, quiet little place to stay when visiting Monterey! Great pricing. Not too far of a drive to the beach and other fun spots. I recommend staying here!
Great breeze from the second floor window!

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall the property was clean. But no customer service. Unique about this property was.. we picked up pizza for dinner and were going to eat with our kids but were greeted by a tiny little bird in the bench who was probably scared and who knows stranded there for how long. We called the front desk, a lady came yo check but really was no of no help. She went back to get a something and came with a towel and a stick to help the little birdie move. We did t want to hurt it so we were helpingbthe little scared bird escape for almost 20-30 mins. It was almost 10pm at night kids were tired but I bet they have a story to share with rheir friends about how we rescued. It was quite eventful.

Customer service was wonderful and the front desk people were helpful and kind. The room was clean. Parking was available at all times of the day; if you couldn't find a space in front of your room there is a small parking lot close by. We stayed for 4 days and loved the fact that the inn was centrally located. It is close to everything beautiful in Monterey.

The property was very nice. The desk manager Arie was very professional & offered suggestions of places to see. The room was very comfortable, simple but adequate and plenty of natural light in the room. Since the manager's office window faces the entrance of the facility they are able to keep an eye on who's coming & going. We felt safe staying there.
