Charming historic hotel - awesome location
Love the historic nature of the building. Lots of charm, great location right in busting area of shops and restaurants. Short walk to Fisherman's Wharf - 8mins.
Only 2 negatives - Street parking is a challenge but plenty of garages nearby, and our room had no chair so only place to sit was on the bed.

Absolutely perfect location for those wanting to stay in Monterey. Average rooms, good cleanliness, average amenities. Parking will be a challenge and the hotel does not provide any sort of parking voucher.

Loved
Loved the hotels esthetic. The room was clean and the staff super friendly. Every one of them at the front desk. Parking was so easy to get. The only thing I was bummed about was the exercise room. If it had weights and treadmill it would have been perfect. I chose the hotel partially for that reason. The room we got was a bit noisy but that was more the guests fault. Overall would book again. Loved its location too. Walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf.

We did not stay here in the end as we were on motorcycles and they didn’t offer secure parking close by.. so had to loose my money on it and booked a far better hotel.

Okay for a night or two
The room was loud, we could hear the people above and next to us. There was a high pitch buzzing coming from the bathroom. The windows were thin so you could hear everything happening outside. The bed was uncomfortable. It's a old hotel so it looked worn down. The staff was friendly and it was in a good location.

Nice place
Great location, nice room. It was a tiny bit warm. They don't have their own parking, but public parking is very convenient and very affordable. Definitely worth the stay.

Love the charm
This hotel has lots of character and antique charm. It’s located walking distance to the wharf and lots of food nearby. The staff was all super friendly and cheerful. The topper on the cake was that they are also dog friendly!
