It’s right in the center street of downtown Monterey, a lot restaurants and shops, only thing is there isn’t AC in the rooms, only a fan in there, I was too hot to fell asleep.

Vintage charm but rooms are so basic they miss the opportunity to make it special.

- Carpets haven't been washed in years (so the ground is covered in the oils left by others feet) - Rooms are incredibly small - Bad water pressure - Sink didn't drain well - Paint is chipping - Water randomly leaked in the middle of the night - Access to the hotel meant crossing a bridge between the newly updated Monterey hotel and the historic building. - Pillow cases smelled of perfume from a p...

Location, location, location! Close to fisherman’s wharf, on a Main Street with multiple food options. Easy to walk the dog. Only thing missing was AC, the room was a bit stuffy, even with both windows open and a fan (provided in the room) going.

Pros (+) The staff were SO amazing! They were helpful and kind and their customer service was just so outstanding! The lobby was very pretty and the spa and other facilities were absolutely perfect! The locationn was nice; five minutes from he wharf and downtown. I’ve never been that close before so it was nice.
Cons (-) The fan on the ceiling so loud I couldn’t sleep and too hot to turn off. The room smelled very bad and nothing helped. It was very very small for the price. The bed was incredibly hard. The socket in the bathroom didn’t work so I had to find an alternate one and all the others were awkwardly placed so it was hard to get ready in the morning. I was beside the stairs and I listened to loud noisy peo...

Cons (-) They in the process of adding more room. But when they put you in the "historic" part of the hotel, it seems ancient. We were put above a cafe, very noise until 10:30.

Pros (+) Beautiful Downtown, close to Fisherman's Wharf, and well-preserved and maintained building and rooms. Rooms are older and bathroom fixtures & layout could use updating, but the furnishings are antique, the bed was comfy, and the room was clean and neat throughout, and the place was quiet. It is located conveniently close to many differing restaurants, and of course the real touristy hotspots are o...
Cons (-) So the closest parking they refer you to is 4-blocks away and there is no guarantee that you'll park closer even at check-in as they have no "dedicated" on-street parking/loading nearby. There are stairs everywhere, so even if you ride the elevator up, once you get to your floor it's the old-fashioned "wandering" hotel with weirdly set up hallways and you go out of one building into others, and th...
