This hotel has lower room rates in a great location but the property needs updating. My room had stains on the carpet and worn linens. The room was very dark with garish light fixtures. The mattress was creaky. Staff were friendly and the continental breakfast was good.

We love the beautiful, spacious, and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed having a balcony with a garden view. There's a bit of traffic noise, but it quiets down later in the evening. The staff is always kind and helpful. Most of all, we really love the location and it has more of an airbnb feel instead of a big hotel. It's very walkable to restaurants, shopping, piers, and the Golden State Theatre. It is now our "go to" hotel when in Monterey.
