So this property is unusual. My guess is that it used to be a condo or apartment complex and was turned into a hotel. Rooms are set up unusual, but still okay. Our problem we had was we couldn’t get the heating to work. However after a couple calls to the office, they came and checked it out, to no avail, but they did bring an oscillating heater and blanket to us, which made it comfortable for the night. So we did appreciate that. Breakfast was pretty limited: yogurt, cold cereal, apples, bread, and waffles. Juice and coffee, but at least something was available.

This is an unusual hotel - not what expected. This hotel appears to be a 70’s vintage former Condominium Everything looks old. Every unit has a kitchen, small dining area, small living room and bedroom on a strangely laid out split level; even a few garage spaces- some with Tesla chargers. Very poor room lighting - some LED lights were blinking. The overhead light in bedroom was missing the globe - so bare light bulbs. Hotel is across street from Asilomar conference center - it’s old too. Daily breakfasts are typical and adequate with no variance from day to day. Other nearby hotel are less cost per night. I likely wont stay here again.

Everything about the service, room, and stay was great, only suggestion is to improve the breakfast quality. Items included refrigerated hard boiled eggs, cereal, bagels, and toast, not the usual selection we’ve experienced at other Best Westerns. Not a dealbreaker but something to consider.

We have stayed here twice and had very good experiences. No issues with check-in and the room is clean. The property is older and could probably use some cosmetic upgrades, but has been maintained and it didn't detract from our stay. The rooms themselves must be well insulated because we didn't have any issues with outside or hallway noise. Our favorite feature is the adjoining rooms, which is perfect for my family of 4 with the kids both under the age of 5. This setup allowed the kids to take naps and the adults could be in the other room or sit on the balcony without disturbing them. The continental breakfast is standard: cereal, waffles, pastries, and fruit. It is about a 5 minute drive to the aquarium and beach access is even closer, though not quite walkable.

The hotel felt homey and comfortable. The rooms were clean and the included breakfast had many options and was delicious. If I were to stay in Monterey again, I’d choose here!

Needs a spruce up

Very large studio, with a full kitchen and dining table, a very comfortable kind size bed, but overall the room looked and felt old.

A great place to relax

Our room was clean and quiet. There was a nice balcony with a view. The kitchen was large and functional. There was plenty of hot water. The coffee at the breakfast service was great. The bed was a little soft but OK.
