Perfect location

I haven't been to Monterey in over 25 years and staying here has inspired more frequent visits. The hotel itself was easy to get to and the overnight parking was competitively priced. I loved that they give you a snack bag at check-in. They definitely know how to treat long-drive travelers. More so, the staff was really nice and the location was perfect. There's really no need to l drive anywhere because you can walk to restaurants and hit other tourist spots, including the aquarium. We're definitely returning!

We stayed on the third floor and could hear the guests above walking. The floors are very creaky. The wind was blowing and was whistling though the door and window which were both closed and locked. We expected a cleaner nicer room based on reviews and photos especially for the price we paid. It’s very convenient to walk and drive to close attractions but we would not stay here again unless much cheaper than what we paid

We were on the third floor and you could hear the guests above walking. Floors are very creaky. If it’s windy it blows and it really loud through the door and window. Based on photos and review we expected a nicer cleaner room. I would not stay here again for the price we paid.

Very close to the ocean. Most rooms have a good ocean view! The outdoor area is very nice with some fire pits to spend the evening by. This spot is a block away from cannery row which is where we spent most of our time.

Was woken up at 8:00am by a full scale construction project right outside of our window. Oh, and we were woken up twice before that due to the person at the front desk calling the room telling us not to worry about all of the noise. Who does that to their guests? Zero common sense. And to be told “we’ll give you a discount on your next stay.” Next stay? ZERO COMMON SENSE.
