"Located in central Monterey and walking distance to historic Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf and surrounding beach. Thirty minute walk to the Monterey Aquarium with a trolley stop in front of hotel property. Beautiful lobby with library. Jack's restaurant on site has excellent food and outdoor fire pits to enjoy the evening."

"Clean room, reliable and secure parking and great room air conditioning meant this was a no-brainer for my business trip. The bed was comfy and the shower worked great. The wifi was unsecure, so I did the limited necessary remote work from my client's property. Would use again!"

"Really nice. Very helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Loved that the cafe was there. A little slow at times but friendly and the food was good. Our shower needed some work as the shower head kept falling over. Other than that we liked staying here."

"We just had one night driving through, and this was a good choice for where to stay. Very convenient to the wharf and shops downtown. The room was bigger than I had anticipated and had a working fireplace. We left early the next day so we were able to take advantage of free street parking that runs from 6 pm to 9 am. There is also a free or discounted lot nearby the staff can direct you to, you don't have to valet."
