Property good, location excellent.

Our 2nd floor room (yay! Elevator) with balcony was clean, good size and comfortable for 1 night. The bathroom was very tight. Breakfast was ok. Small loud room. The location of the property was excellent. Easy walk to town.

My only complaint was that I didn't know that the rooms don't have air conditioning and it was warm while we were there because I would have booked a different hotel.

We love the location. Beds are comfortable and the hotel is very clean. The staff had a hard time keeping up with restocking the breakfast items, supplies, etc. Also, I was shocked at how loud the plumbing is (the shower next door, etc.).

Wow, I loved this hotel! Brought my toddler to Monterey/Carmel for my birthday. We loved the conveniency of both back and front parking lots, our swimming pool time (although it was a bit chilly cus the sun can’t really shine through the trees that are blocking it so it’s all shade), and how close it was to lots of restaurants! It’s also pretty close to the beach but since my son is only 3, we drove there each time. The front desk person was kind enough to start our fireplace for us, and he even gave me a piece of cake since I mentioned it was my birthday! The only thing I wish the room had was a microwave but they allowed me to use the one in the breakfast area when needed until about 3:00 when they lock the room. Other than that small thing, staying here was wonderful and I would stay again!
