Was walking distance to Old Fisherman's Warf. Pretty spot. Breakfast was very basic. Felt like a cute B&B. Parking was expensive. BIGGEST complaint was the bed. It was an old spring mattress that had to be at least 20 years old. ROCK HARD mattress. KILLED my back. I brought up my concern to the front desk the first morning after, and the sweet girl offered for us to switch rooms. I checked out the bed in the other room HOPING it had a softer bed, but it didn't so we didn't switch. Had to go to Walgreens for ibuprofen and IcyHot to be able to endure the following 3 nights. If you have a bad back, these beds are NOT for you! They need to be replaced!

Great location near old downtown and the wharf. Our room was super clean, and beautifully furnished. Great FREE WiFi, friendly staff, breakfast included and parking on the premises were some of the positives of this place. Will definitely book again when we’re in Monterey!

Great option for a stay in Monterey! The room is charming and we loved the details of the French door, fireplace and skylight. Comfortable and clean with great service from the staff. Breakfast was such a great perk and the staff kept it stocked and ready. Walking distance to the wharf and the downtown area for food and drinks. Could walk to the cannery but chose to drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Room is clean and nice. But design could be improved. Insufficient hangers in the room or toilet to hang dry towel. Breakfast so so only.

We had an issue with our hire car & the reception staff went above & beyond to help us - letting us use their phone repeatedly. They also came up to our room several times to let us know when we had a call. Huge thanks to Carla I think her name was

Breakfast was very basic. Limited capacity for seating. Very limited selection. We arrived for breakfast one morning and there was barely anything left, nothing was replaced. The staff at breakfast were not particularly welcoming. Rooms although spotlessly clean, were very dark and the hairdryer was useless!
