Felicia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was conveniently located in the touristy area of Monterey so if you like that it's a good deal. But the hotel itself is worn down and needing an update. It IS clean though and feels safe. The staff were friendly and professional too.

Uncomfortable beds, could easily hear conversations from the adjoining rooms. For the prices we paid per night I would hope there is better options for other hotels in the area.
Steve, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved the antiques that were all over. Including the hotel itself. The city needs to bolt down the plate outside the hotel in the street. Sounded like gunshots every time a car drove over it. The staff was great.
