"The room smelled like it has been closed up too long.. no air conditioning in room was really hot.. otherwise staff really friendly, overall stay was great.."
"Large, clean, well appointed, modern room with sparkling bathroom. Lager sized fridge and freezer, Keurig and microwave as well as a 2 person table. Super helpful and friendly staff. Even a filtered water machine in the front lobby for a quick fill up. Outstanding value and will absolutely be my top choice for future stays in the Monterey area!"
"We stayed here 41 years ago on our honeymoon and decided to stay 2 nights on a recent trip through California. I am so relieved to know it is just as charming as it was then! Room was cozy (nice bed/bedding) and roomy. Grounds were lovely. Feels quaint. We went to the restaurant for happy hour (which was great) but it was so good that we decided to just eat dinner there as well. Easy walk to wharf, Trader Joe's and other dining options. We would happily come stay again sometime (hopefully a little warmer so we could use the pool this time :))"
"Spent 3 days here with wife and son.
