Excellent.

Beautiful old world charm hotel in perfect location. More of a guest house than hotel, so lacking facilities some may require. If you want clean, charming and a perfect location look no farther. Great garden space to one side, with my room having a nice balcony overlook of this space. I ate breakfast there both days of my stay. Perfectly located for the harbour and waterfront options, equally good for the bars and restaurants along Alvarado.
Shady balcony overlooking courtyard.

Hotel was clean, nicely furnished and well maintained. Rooms have charm. Typical continental breakfast included, served inside or out in the garden. Walking distance to many sights in Monterey, as well as lots of restaurants and cafes. Only complaint - walls are not soundproof and able to hear neighbors.
