"Since I was having cell phone issues I was not able fill out the check in form ahead of time. It was interesting to talk with a person on a computer screen in the hotel lobby to check in - it worked out just fine. Room was very basic and very comfortable. Not too many planes flying (airport is nearby). I slept great!"

"The room was great, the staff were incredible, the location was convenient. But maybe the biggest sleeper with this hotel is its restaurant. The food here is worthy of a special trip. When something as simple as Brussels sprouts tapas can make you weep, you know you're onto something special. Don't get me started on the Avocado toast! Loved every minute of this stay and will definitely return! "

"I only stayed here for one night and traveled solo. Check-in: Staff was very friendly and gave good restaurant recommendations. Room: The room was very spacious. Had a lovely balcony with view of the docks. It was a bit warm inside the room. I realized that there was no AC, only a heater. But I used the tower fan they had in the closet and it cooled the room rather quickly. Overall, I would come here again. Amenities: They have 2 jacuzzis and there’s an ice machine available on each floor. Front desk sells sodas and snacks, otherwise there’s a 7-Eleven around the corner, less than a 7 min walk. I Breakfast: They provide a menu for you to fill out and hang on your door the night before, They offered fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled egg, and pastries (I got mini croissants). They also offer coffee, tea, and juice. And you choose the time you’d like to receive your meal. Overall this a nice hotel for the value and Cannery Row offerings are just a short walk away. Consider staying here for your next trip to Monterey. "
