It would be perfect if we didn’t have to listen to an amorous couple ALL Night. The walls are tragically thin. Some sound maintenance is woefully needed.

Pros and Cons

The location and service were great, room was immaculate, and the lobby and courtyard were adorable. Lots of restaurants and even a Walgreens within walking distance plus you could walk to the harbor or even over to Cannery Row and the Aquarium if you had time (a little over a mile over to there). But the room didn’t have a window or air conditioning unit, so it was really hot at night and the only way to cool it off was by opening the door. And the bed was way too firm to the point where it affected my sleep despite being exhausted from all the walking and hiking :( The parking was extra $ and it was really difficult to get in and out of the spaces even in our little rental car. But the continental breakfast was good. Overall it was ok, but we probably won’t be staying here again due to the bed and lack of cooling, but this is perfect for your first time in Monterey if you want to be close to all the in-town action and maybe our room and bed was an exception to the rest.

This is a quaint inn with a lovely courtyard. The staff members were very nice. Our room was a bit tired with signs of wear. The cold continental breakfast is a nice offering. However, cold items such as milk, yogurt and hard boiled eggs were not kept cold while out for breakfast; they would have been tastier if kept on ice.

Dont book your stay off the site pictures. The property is ok, not great, decent not charming or quaint. Maybe a step above your standard chain motel.

Lovely room, friendly and welcoming hostess. Stayed one night. Walkable to the wharf and Golden State Theater. Vibrant neighborhood. Quiet. Only one negative. It was stated that there is plenty of street parking. Most parking on street is 1-2 hours Monday through Saturday until 6p. Hotel provided some limited parking for $20 per night. Will be coming back

Great but super firm bed

Overall wonderful location, continental breakfast better than expected, charming rooms. King size bed was very hard in room 2. Definitely in need of replacement.
