This place is so cute and in a great location! The receptionist was so kind, and gave me restaurant options. My room sat right on the water and it had the perfect sunrise/sunset view. The room was also HUGE! Loved having all that space to myself. I was very comfortable and this will be my go to hotel on my next trip to Monterey!

Comfortable in the quiet part of Cannery Road

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, parking on site for a fee is very helpful in such a busy part of town. Breakast is delivered to your room, its basic yet fresh. We would stay here again and we don't say that often.
