Pictures are deceiving

Service here is beyond fantastic! Very pleasant, super helpful and very accommodating. But the hotel itself is an absolute mess! For $900 we had a room with no ac, the screen door was broken and had holes in it. very thin walls and ceiling to the point where we could here every step the guest above us made, for the last two nights. Constant noises and movements, bed was hard but still better than some we’ve slept in. Stain on the wall, cracks in the ceiling in the restroom and the shower as well as the side of the bed. Water from the shower kept finding its way on the floor no matter how closed we put the curtain. Blow dryer looked like it was pulled out of the trash. No hand soap in the room, no ventilation in the bathroom. Room smelled musky. Highlight was the room came with binoculars to see the sealife. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Monterey or Cannery row for that matter. Pay the extra money and get a better room somewhere else.

Fabulous romantic vacation

It was a beautiful honeymoon stay! The room looked out over the ocean while still having the shoreline to our right side. Waves crashed making the most relaxing sounds. A little pricey but it was well worth spending it this one time. So much so, that we’re talking of making it an annual trip on our anniversary. Staff was magnificent! The young lady (Beth?) gave us a list of recommended restaurants nearby. They have a free continental breakfast where you pick items off a list, hang it on the door and have it delivered at your preferred time! The list seems basic, but it actually wasn’t bad. I definitely recommend this place.
