At first we were put in a first floor room, this hotel is on a busier street and less tucked away than the photos. Things have clearly been updated in decor but the amenities themselves are lacking, our A/C thermostat didn't work and there was a pot smell that either was wafting from another room or outside. Okay for one night on a road trip but wouldn't stay longer or return here.

We love the beautiful, spacious, and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed having a balcony with a garden view. There's a bit of traffic noise, but it quiets down later in the evening. The staff is always kind and helpful. Most of all, we really love the location and it has more of an airbnb feel instead of a big hotel. It's very walkable to restaurants, shopping, piers, and the Golden State Theatre. It is now our "go to" hotel when in Monterey.

However, The staff was excellent, The Room Staff was 10 out of 10! ...Bed was very comfortable, the town / Hotel Location was great! Good WiFi.. Nice place to stay.

I had much higher expectations for this hotel. It’s clean and well kept, but the building is like an apartment building, with the thinnest walls ever. You will hear your neighbor’s conversations, their coughing and everything else in between. The breakfast was also disappointing. Nothing hot. Hot water in the shower was also hit and miss. Disappointing.

Great Location

This hotel was in a great location within easy walking distance to downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. There is a trolley stop nearby but the trolley is not running at this time of the year. The room was a good size with a wood burning fireplace and a small fridge ( fyi…no microwave but not needed). I wish I would have brought a duraflame log! It was difficult to find a single log to buy nearby. Beverage cart with coffee & tea was steps outside my patio each morning. The room was just a little too cold for me and couldn’t figure out the heater. (Extra blanket was too thin.). Other than that, I would definitely stay here again.

Room was decorated cute, and felt clean. But no a/c and it was too warm. Can't sleep with anything open since patio is shared. Free continental breakfast was ridiculous. Towel hooks broken in bathroom. Wicker Chairs and dresser in room were old and worn out. No elevator for luggage...everything a little old and funky. Some may enjoy this, we did not.
