Walls are pretty thin. Vent fan in bathroom is extremely loud. Road noise. Room smelled like cat pee. More blankets in the room or heavier on the bed would have been nice. But it's clean, staff is friendly, room is pretty, soaps are nice, shower is good. Parking is good as long as you don't have a tall vehicle, if you do be able to turn around in the first part of the parking lot because you can't go through that tunnel. Pretty good place and well priced.

Was put in the room next to the front office. Walls were thin and heard front office taking phone calls all night. Someone (sounded like the office) was playing music late into the evening (2 am). Property is not really close to the bay (in my opinion). Charged $50 for a pet fee.

Would not stay again.

I had a bad experience overall on one side there were children, crying, and their mother was constantly yelling at them. You could hear everything on the other side in the middle of the night. I was woken up by someone snoring really loud. It was so close to my heart headboard That I couldn’t sleep. The walls are extremely thin and you can hear

A Relaxing and Memorable Stay

We recently stayed at the Inn and overall, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and accommodating, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The lobby was clean and beautifully decorated, setting a great first impression. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a comfortable bed, newly renovated bathroom with shampoo, conditioner and body soap included. The location was also a major plus. It was conveniently close to Monterey downtown and the aquarium.
