Very clean and well run hotel at a perfect location to enjoy the best of Monterey. The rooms were charming and quiet even though the hotel is located on a busy street. They were super welcoming to our dog and the charges were reasonable. We even lucked out on parking and found a spot in the garage across the street. Would definitely come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very nice. Carpet was filthy the room itself wasn’t necessarily clean, the bed absolutely sucked. They should really advertise the paper thin walls that you can hear every one of your neighbor’s conversations and the fact that the hot tub is actually in a small room in the basement, as is the only ice machine.
