Great Location

This hotel was in a great location within easy walking distance to downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. There is a trolley stop nearby but the trolley is not running at this time of the year. The room was a good size with a wood burning fireplace and a small fridge ( fyi…no microwave but not needed). I wish I would have brought a duraflame log! It was difficult to find a single log to buy nearby. Beverage cart with coffee & tea was steps outside my patio each morning. The room was just a little too cold for me and couldn’t figure out the heater. (Extra blanket was too thin.). Other than that, I would definitely stay here again.

Room was decorated cute, and felt clean. But no a/c and it was too warm. Can't sleep with anything open since patio is shared. Free continental breakfast was ridiculous. Towel hooks broken in bathroom. Wicker Chairs and dresser in room were old and worn out. No elevator for luggage...everything a little old and funky. Some may enjoy this, we did not.

Charming place! It's a historical adobe that has been converted to a hotel. The bathroom is new and modern. Because the building is old, the walls are thinner and you will hear your neighbors. If you are staying on the ground floor, you will hear creaking floors from above. The charm outweighs these inconveniences, though. Location is perfect - walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf.

Way below standard

There was only 1 key to the room. I trash can in the bathroom. No A/C. No phone in the room so that k could ask for tissues, etc. Breakfast was extra poor.

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.
