My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was absolutely amazing, walking distance to all the places I wanted to visit in Monterey. The rooms, however, lacked a view and had some noise issues, but the service was top-notch, and the staff went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. The dining options were a bit simple for my taste, and I wish the facilities were better maintained.

The hotel is cozy and homely, with clean and comfortable rooms featuring a welcoming fireplace. The service was professional and helpful, although a tad noisy at times. The location is top-notch, right downtown near the Wharf, but be prepared for early morning hallway noise. The dining options were varied but not ideal for gluten-free guests. Overall, a friendly and convenient stay with some minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were cute and perfect for those looking to spend more time outside, but they were small and lacked insulation. The service was friendly and efficient, although there could have been more helpful parking suggestions. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of old Monterey, near Fisherman's Wharf, and close to all the shops and restaurants downtown. The dining experience was decent with a nice variety, though it could have had more fruit options. The hotel had some nice facilities, but there is room for improvement compared to similar properties.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The rooms outside the main building were tiny, and the dirty carpet contributed to a musty smell throughout. On the upside, the bathroom was good, but the noise level was high due to old windows and the adjacent internal staircase. The service, while mostly friendly and helpful, had some very unfriendly staff that bordered on rude. The location was great for some attractions, but the lack of parking was a major drawback. The dining experience had its moments, with a decent selection but marred by noisy staff. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms that vary slightly in size but are clean and suitable for short stays. The service is outstanding, with helpful and professional staff. Its central location near attractions and dining options is a major highlight. The dining experience provides a broad selection but may have limited protein choices. Overall, a value-for-money stay with clean facilities.
