Cute little getaway spot.

Great little spot - very close to the mall and very short drive into downtown Monterey and on to the aquarium/cannery row. This is a fully renovated property with modern bathrooms, fridge and microwave in the room. VERY comfortable mattresses. Clean and well kept. Property is also nicely maintained and pretty.

One of Monterey’s Best!

We switched up hotels and wanted to try a new spot in town. When I was booking it the night before I waited to long and it was all booked up, but the day of our anniversary they had a cancellation and I grabbed it! This place was extremely clean and comfortable, the staff was amazingly friendly and hospitable. Looks to be newly remodeled as well. We will be definitely staying here again! Thank you :)

Decent no frills room, with a side of attitude.

The beds are hard. Like bed displays at a store hard. No food or bottled water. Restaurants are plenty available. Make sure to plan ahead for what you’re going to eat.
