Patrice

Traveled with family and small children
The room had leaks all over the place. We went when it was raining. Front entryway of the room was soaked about 2 ft out, which got my duffle bag/ clothes wet that were near the closet on the floor. Cooler leaked rain water all over the floor and made the carpet wet in that area too. Parking garage drain is clogged so the parking garage started flooding, my shoes and feet were soaked getting to the car. The only redeeming thing is that we asked for extra towels and a pack and play and they brought it no problem. The bed was also comfy.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, great location. Only negatives were the rooms were a little loud and you could hear other guests quite clearly. Could also do with some new baby cots (pack and plays) as they’re a little worn and not great.

The staff was awesome- warm, friendly and helpful. The location is great and the room was very comfortable and spotless to boot. The gas fire pits and noon check out cap it off as a new favorite of mine. Will definitely stay there again on my next Monterey trip.

Walls are VERY thin and you can hear every single movement. We lost sleep because we could hear the people above us walking around all throughout the night.
