8/10 Very good

Great location, room was a little small. Walking distance to most activities. Downside on comfort, no AC. Room was humid and hot even with fan blowing at the window 24/7. Glad it wasn’t summer time, would’ve found another hotel if it wasn’t mid-October and cooler temperatures. Other than that, top notch service and location

Eric Matthew, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel staff were very helpful and efficient. The room was lovely and comfortable. But we were not expecting how loud the area is - lots of yelling and laughing, etc. on the street well into the night. Maybe staying on a different side of the building would be helpful.

Adalberto, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

“Old style” Hotel, right in the middle of town, so much to do and see. Great restaurants right next to the hotel, I chose to park across the street, in the public parking structure, easy in and out. The room was basic but clean, very small tv, clean sheets, bathroom was small but clean and nice. No complaints at all, it’s priced right, for what you get, in this area.

Very historic property , very walkable to nearby restaurants and the old fisherman’s ward
Robert, 1-night trip

Great layover location. Easy parking across the street in the public garage. Birds are noisy but they are all over the city so you won’t escape them.
Shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk staff are very helpful and nice, everything that one would want to do in Monterey is within walking distance so it’s very convenient, and the Deluxe rooms are very cozy!!
Damian, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful old building great service and staff. Gym is really a small room with 3 machines and not very useable in the basement without windows. Hot tub is on first come first serve basis and limited with a key. Good for an interesting stay but not for longer visits.
