Great service, and the room was so cozy and comfortable. Booed the cottage and had the whole unit to ourselves detached from the rest of the hotel, Had a fireplace with a TV and pull out couch. Me and my Fiance loved this stay, definitely a place to stay at in Monterey if you love history and timeless architecture.

The checkin was easy, but the room was in a state of disrepair. One set of blinds had the paint peeling off, another had broken lines so it could not be closed, paint was peeling off the wall in certain places, etc. This wasn't what we had envisioned for the pricepoint.

The Centrella is a beautiful historic building, and the rooms are well-preserved and charming. It does feel like some corners are being cut in the management, however. Breakfast is minimal, even by Continental breakfast standards. The front desk has very limited hours, and housekeeping was not offering mid-stay service, aside from towel replacements.
