We usually stay here each year in June or July because it is very consistent and the staff is always very friendly. Quite often I might get an upgrade, which is nice. I did get an upgrade this stay as well as a piece of birthday cake and a bottle of wine in my room. The rooms are always nice clean fresh and we have never had a problem with the room. We did get a balcony type room with our suite this time, which is interesting because it looks like a little bit like a jail yard ha ha. There was no privacy on the balcony but every time I sat out there, I never saw another person. It was a nice view toward Pacific Grove, and this time of year you can see the Western Gulls and their chicks on the rooftops. When you walk along the coastal trail, you will see sea otters, sea lions, elephant seals, brown pelicans, Cormorant, and other birds. This time of year you will see Western goals and nests in some locations. It’s a great location to see lots of wildlife. The hotel is also located near the wharf where all of the tourist restaurants are, but there are also several restaurants in town that are equally as good. We always really enjoy the buffet breakfast and eat way too much. The staff is also great here and the food is not very good. The front desk staff was very friendly and the valet guys were all nice as well. This hotel is very consistent with good staffing and a clean room which is why we continue to come back each year.

My husband and I stayed here with my parents to attend a nearby wedding. The hotel has all the amenities you need. However, we had a few hiccups. Our faucet in the bathroom initially only had super hot water. Management was able to fix but left low cold water pressure. Lamp next to bed flickered on after flipping switch.

My husband and I stayed here with my parents to attend a nearby wedding. The hotel has all the amenities you need. However, we had a few hiccups. Our faucet in the bathroom initially only had super hot water. Management was able to fix but left low cold water pressure. Lamp next to bed flickered on after flipping switch. The closet light illuminates room when the door opens. We found difficult to keep door closed and we eventually unplugged. We needed to call housekeeping for glass when we arrived. Last day in room tea was not replenished. I enjoyed the fitness center, laundry room, and breakfast. Overall if returning to Monterey I would look for somewhere else to stay. Read less

First the good… employees are very nice and the buffet breakfast is really good. The restaurant is nice as is the bar. Unfortunately the hotel building is very old and was not designed with the ocean nearby as the room views are just okay and they have no balconies.

First the good… employees are very nice and the buffet breakfast is really good. The restaurant is nice as is the bar. Unfortunately the hotel building is very old and was not designed with the ocean nearby as the room views are just okay and they have no balconies. The pool and hot tub are in the center courtyard on the second floor of a tall building so they get about an hour or so of sun. I would pick a different hotel for a real Monterey experience.

I stayed multiple days but not back to back. 5/21/2025 and 5/26/2025 both stays were perfect. I was in town for Caliroots music festival over Memorial Day weekend. After checking in both days I went to the bar for some food and drinks. On 5/21/2025 Connor (bartender) night mgr and host provided amazing customer service. On 5/26/2025 Angelina was… Read more

On 5/26/2025 Angelina was great both times, the same host was there both times. I also was allowed to check in early 5/26/2026 (after 4 days of camping, I needed an early check in) and was upgraded to a room in the 6th floor on the corner with a partial beach view. Room was great, bed and couch were so comfortable. I did have an early flight the next morning so I received my wake-up call. Read less

A really great hotel - friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms. The hotel is central to the Main Street and we were lucky enough to catch the farmers market when we arrived. The rooms on the street can be quite noisy (this quietened about 10pm) but it’s worth it for the sea view.
