It was a nice hotel. It was noisy in the night. A lot of sound from the street but also on the hallway. It's an old complex so that makes sense, but it would be more pleasant if there was less noise.

Carpets all need to be cleaned. The whole hotel and the “historic” room I stayed in was run down. Not the charming old, but run-down old where the light fixtures are falling off the wall and the wall outlets cannot hold a plug in place. Old and run down fixtures as well.
Had to take see my laptop to hold the plug in place.

The hotel staff were very helpful and efficient. The room was lovely and comfortable. But we were not expecting how loud the area is - lots of yelling and laughing, etc. on the street well into the night. Maybe staying on a different side of the building would be helpful.

The room we were given was directly above the street, the backside to some businesses under us. Very Loud garbage trucks and delivery trucks in the wee hours of the morning, along with a steel plate in the road outside our room that sounded like gunfire every time a car crossed it. The saving grace was the pub Crown and Anchor one block away. The food was excellent along with the service and fair pricing

This is a good hotel to just keep your stuff in while you are out and about in Monterey. The one thing is that there is no AC which is tough when the weather is warm during the day in Monterey. The vibe is old school almost haunted house, but not in a bad way. You just kind of feel like you are in a game of clue haha. However, it was a seamless check-in and check-out process and was a nice stay.
