It was ok

I wanted to take my husband for couple of days for his birthday with our small Yorkie. This is a pet friendly hotel it states “pet friendly “ however, there were signs in the courtyard for dog NOT to go on the grass. So, I took my dog at the parking area to do his thing. Also, the phone in the room did NOT work, no tone and the phone line did not work. The only good thing was that the hotel was close to fisherman’s wharf , beach and canary row. Also the hotel needs remodeling.

Dated hotel but in an excellent location for a reasonable cost with excellent service. So if you don’t want to spend a bundle and don’t mind dated accommodations to be close to Fisherman’s Wharf, this Lodge is for you.

I stayed here with my 5 year old daughter and it was absolutely perfect! It is so clean and quaint with beautiful foliage. It has a beautiful heated pool with a fountain and a hot tub with lots of seating and tables around the pool and a sitting area under trees and lights fire pits. The rooms don’t have AC but they do provide a fan. They also have a microwave and fridge. The absolute best part of all by far though was the location. I parked my car and never got back in the enter trip. It’s a short distance to old fisherman’s wharf and not much further to fisherman’s wharf and then if you follow the path along the water you’ll end up at cannery row! We also loved that the beach was right across the street and enjoyed kayaking there. And best of all my daughter loved that it was just across the street from Dennis the menace park, which is an absolute must if you’re traveling with kids. Lastly, the staff were all very friendly. We will definitely be staying here again for our future Monterey trips!
