This was a unique place and the location was great. It was a quiet hotel. Our room was quaint, but clean. We loved the shutters for fresh air and light. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood and short drive to aquarium, Fishermans Wharf and Lovers Point Beach. We had no problems with parking, there is a public lot across the street on Alvarado we used with the ParkMobile app to pay and 6pm to 9am free parking. We felt safe here. We would stay again!

Excellent location for old town Monterey, but the property is run down, dingy and dated. Common areas were filthy and the rooms were basic and tired. Stay here for the convenience but otherwise avoid it.

We had the deluxe queen suite. The setup was awesome but needed the amenities of the regular double queen rooms with fridge and microwave. The rooms we had needed chairs to sit on other than just the bed. But over all it was great. Plenty of restaurants and attractions close by. The fisherman’s wharf was minuets away walking distance.

Very comfortable restored property. The windows are thin and the streets were noisy so ear plugs are beneficial. Fantastic, attentive staff!! Walkable to the Old Fisherman’s Wharf and Cannery Row. Would definitely stay here again.
