I’m sharing this review to provide a realistic picture for future guests, as the high price tag (it was $190w/taxes & fees in October for one night) & positive reviews didn’t align with our experience. While I really wanted to appreciate the historic charm, the property felt neglected rather than "classic." The Positives: The location is unbeatable—centrally located near the beach, coffee shops, and Main Street. Additionally, the staff was nice and the breakfast pastries & yogurt were a highlight. The Reality of the Property: Unfortunately, the maintenance is in a state of visible neglect. Our room featured chipping paint, peeling wallpaper, and carpets that were unacceptably dirty. The towels were so thin and dingy they felt more like rags than hotel linens. Outside, the "garden" was a collection of nearly dead plants and broken fountains, and the greenery at the entrance was noticeably infested with mealybugs, toppled over and in plastic pots. Final Thought: Given the premium cost, the lack of basic upkeep was a major letdown. If you are expecting a polished historic stay, just be aware that the current condition of the hotel is quite dilapidated. The pictures on the site were nothing like what I experienced. I am sad to leave such a poor review but feel it necessary to do so. Luckily we were only staying for one night and we arrived late in the evening but this could have ruined our anniversary trip.

At first look, the hotel is very old. The carpet in the room was ancient and needed replacing and the room smelled musty. However, overall the experience was very good with a great breakfast, staff, wine hour and helpfulness when deciding where to eat. It is centrally located and within walking distance to beaches, parks, restaurants and shopping. I would likely stay there again.

The room was fine. The staff were great. Area was really convenient and close to downtown. Only con was my room was next to the back door, and there was a crazy woman banging the back door claiming she lived there. The staff came and handled her, but it was very scary to experience because it woke me from my sleep

Great service, and the room was so cozy and comfortable. Booed the cottage and had the whole unit to ourselves detached from the rest of the hotel, Had a fireplace with a TV and pull out couch. Me and my Fiance loved this stay, definitely a place to stay at in Monterey if you love history and timeless architecture.

The checkin was easy, but the room was in a state of disrepair. One set of blinds had the paint peeling off, another had broken lines so it could not be closed, paint was peeling off the wall in certain places, etc. This wasn't what we had envisioned for the pricepoint.
