Overall Great!

We loved our stay at this hotel. Here are the pros and cons: -We got the partial ocean view with a balcony. It was fabulous. At certain angles in the room, it looked like an ocean view, depending on where you are standing. -There was a pair of binoculars in the room which was great for watching the otters. -Our son also got a little Monterey area bingo game to play for prizes along with his own little bag of goodies which included his own pair of binoculars and magnifying glass. -We ate at Schooners restaurant and the view was great and we were seated right away. -The hot tubs near the fitness center have such a beautiful view and there is also a nearby firepit -The valet staff was very helpful and professional The things that were not so great were: -There is an area that is open to the public below the room and we were often smelling the smell of smoke from cigarettes and weed. -There was also a black hair still in our bathtub when we checked in which was gross. - We ate at Schooners restaurant but the server was not friendly or helpful and the clam chowder was so bad that none of us finished it. It was also a little bit pricey. -The spa staff kept giving us different ages for the age restriction for using the hot tub near the fitness center. -It cost us almost 100 dollars extra to do valet for 2 nights. We were told that the alternative was to do metered street parking and then it was free at night. So we just did it. But, overall, it was good.
