The room was very nice and large, and seemed to have been recently renovated. Across the street from DelMonte shopping center, it’s equidistant between Carmel and Poppy Hills. Three senior guys with golf gear sleeping in the same room could be difficult but with the two king beds and sleeper sofa, it worked out fine (and we’re still friends).

Great 1st Family Trip

This was our first stay in Monterey. The hotel was easy to find. Easy check in, nice staff, & clean rooms. We booked the two rooms to accommodate our large family. The hotel was able to accommodate our request for 1 room w/ADA accessibility & to have our rooms side by side. Hotel was less than 10 minutes away from the wharf, which was a plus. Overall, I would stay here again for the location, price, & cleanliness of hotel.

Very high beds ,difficult for orderly people to get on a bed and also was hard for the kids to get in and off the bed .. why to have so high beds for ?!! It’s not even safe and kids have to jump off and it’s bringing more noise for people downstairs . We moved a bed so will be safer for the kid not to fall off the bed and it was so dirty behind the bed ..
