The parking was sufficient, staff was nice. Could of had more hangers and more than one chair in the room we stayed in. Really liked the idea of shampoo and body wash in the shower as opposed to bar soap. Also the provided moisturizing lotion, loved it, next to the sink in the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Did an amazing job at helping my family when we were in a very hard situation during the Cali roots festival .Very grateful to every single member of the staff. Clean rooms and access to all of Monterey within 5 mins in each direction. Great hotel for the price and a perfect place to stay as a traveler.

I am a woman who often travels alone. This place was absolutely adorable. The room was super clean and comfortable - especially the bed. Best mattress I've slept on in forever. Parking was right outside my room door I felt very safe and it was so close to Fisherman's Wharf where I went to two consecutive days for whale watching trips. I would absolutely recommend 100%. Will definitely stay there again.
