Great but super firm bed

Overall wonderful location, continental breakfast better than expected, charming rooms. King size bed was very hard in room 2. Definitely in need of replacement.

10/10 Exceptional

Good for short stay in Monterey.

Quiet at night (we had a room at the back above the carport), close to downtown and the wharf, good selection continental breakfast. Clean, spacious room. As others have noted, no elevator and a fee for parking. Price better than other properties in the area.

Victor, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
