This place is so cute and in a great location! The receptionist was so kind, and gave me restaurant options. My room sat right on the water and it had the perfect sunrise/sunset view. The room was also HUGE! Loved having all that space to myself. I was very comfortable and this will be my go to hotel on my next trip to Monterey!

Comfortable in the quiet part of Cannery Road
Very nice hotel, friendly staff, parking on site for a fee is very helpful in such a busy part of town. Breakast is delivered to your room, its basic yet fresh. We would stay here again and we don't say that often.

The jacuzzi was lukewarm, cushions on lounge chairs are worn out, room #210 carpet by slider is shredded and the desk chair is badly stained and cushion is shredded so bad the foam is exposed. Not what you expect for the price we paid.
