Such a beautiful hotel! Loved the pool area, had little cabanas, hot tub, and a fire place area! The rooms were clean cozy and our balcony was spacious! It was a little bit of a struggle to find ramps for our stroller we had to carrry it up steps to get to our room but overall great hotel with lots of shops and places to eat across the street!

Charmed at first, but left greatly disappointed.

My friends and i arrived in our original room only to find a dirty shower, filled with soap bar residue and hair. We were then transfered to another room, which was okay at first. But then one of the showers had a major malfunction. Maintenance wasn't able to repair it until the next day. I was also told by the night manager that he could take a night off of my final bill, but come checkout( no luggage carts available even when told so by the way) i was told i still had to pay the full amount with a note only left discussing a discount, not a night off. And the " discount" still has to be reviewed by the main manager.

The property was easy to access, clean, comfortable and relatively quiet. Pool area was clean and comfortable. Walking distance to a shopping center that had restaurants, coffee, and the gym for which you get a guest pass. Water in bathroom sink never got hot, which wasn't great. Thankfully no issues with the shower. And the person staying in the room above us was a very heavy walker, unfortunately the noise insulation for that could've been better, as they paced at 12:30 AM.

What happen

Location is wonderful but complex needs updating or replacement of old worn out beds , peeling ceilings paint. Shower Plumbing issues, The outer landscaping and cleanliness was obvious in need of some care around complex. Also spoke with a lot of other vacationers an there were equally dissatisfied with complex. Note Don't bother to get up early to attend the so-called" continental breakfast"it's a joke .

Excellent choice

The hotel seems small but charming and a great place to stay in Monterey. It's also really easy to get to Carmel 10min drive . The beds were incredibly comfortable and the fireplace helped create a cozy environment in the living room. Parking was free which was a big plus. Breakfast was really a quick grab and go type of setting, perhaps a snack bar. Quaker Brand Granola Bars, snack size individually package cereals, coffee, juice, bagel wrapped in saran wrap. There is no Gym but the hotel offers a complimentary gym pass to Gold’s Gym at the mall across the street only if you already have a membership with Gold's gym (at least that's what we were told at the front counter). In the end for the amount of money paid for 3 nights it was well worth it, I would definately recommend staying here for a convinient place to tour Monterey and Carmel.
