Property close and walking distance to restaurants and brewery. It's an older place so stairs creak when you walk which is somewhat nostalgic. Did hear a dog bark a few times in the morning. No fridge.

The hotel nice and clean and the front desk staff was very friendly. Hotel is conveniently located around restaurants and shops. The only problem is the noise inside the property. You can hear all the noise and footsteps from the next rooms and floor. The rooms are not properly insulated from noise. We couldn’t sleep because of that.

The Monterey hotel stay

Great location to downtown Monterey. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was built in 1909, it kind of had a cool spooky feel to it. Would definitely stay again on my next visit. My only complaint is the valet price is high and you really need to valet. It didn’t feel safe to leave our car on the street.

Rent a suite with fire place for a romantic get away with boyfriend. Hotel called that morning and said there was sprinkler incident or something so switched us rooms but the room the switched us to was definitely an upgrade with no charge and covered our valet for switching which we appreciated! Walked to the theatre in 2 minutes to see a concert and so much restaurants in area. I loved this area will be staying here when we visit Monterey.
