This is my absolute favorite place in Monterey . We have been coming here for over 15 years. The rooms are always clean, the restaurant (Schooners) is fantastic, and the staff is consistently wonderful. The décor is beautiful and timeless, and the ocean views from the hotel are absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend it.
