We enjoyed our stay at the Wave Street Inn! The location is excellent and convenient for access to the beach and Cannery Row. The hotel itself is no frills. There is a small open air parking lot on the ground level and one elevator accessed from the parking lot. There is a lovely rooftop fire pit area that we loved. Our room specifically did not have hot water in the shower… we did notify the front desk who did not do anything to remedy that situation which was not ideal but overall not the worst issue to deal with. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Monterey for a short stay.
