My stay at this hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were nice for the price, but being in the lobby section could be a downside when it gets busy. The rooms were very spacious, which was a plus.

The dining options were a bit disappointing. The Continental breakfast was actually a full-style one, but the quality was lacking. However, the salads were delicious.

This hotel is a gem in Monterey! The rooms were spotless from top to bottom, although we had to wait an hour for our room to be ready at check-in. The service was efficient, professional, and cheerful, making our stay truly delightful. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the aquarium and Cannery Row, and with stunning views of otters and seabirds. Although the price may be a bit high, the value for money is definitely there.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and dining options. However, the rooms were disappointing with a musty smell and outdated decor. The service was friendly and helpful, particularly in addressing cleanliness issues. The dining options were adequate but nothing exceptional.

I stayed in a ground-level room facing the street which had a slight musty odor mixed with bleach. The room felt outdated and not up to the standard for the price.
