Location - near downtown area of Monterey - lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Fisherman's Wharf / Cannery Row not too far away (walking distance or short drive). Room - the rooms are beautifully designed with high ceilings. Good wifi and room facilities

Parking Charge Water wasn't very hot/ a bit temperamental. The staff were helpful and we were offered an alternative room, but preferred ours.

Large room with a high ceiling, fireplace. and cute South Pacific decor. Very hot shower. Nice continental breakfast. Sweet reception.

Mattress hard/uncomfortable, needs replacing. Supplies not restocked after cleaning. We would definitely stay again, if mattress is updated. Do leave a note for the service staff about replenishing supplies.

Great location! Perfect for fisherman’s wharf and whale watching tours. Great complimentary breakfast! Good parking facilities, although comes at a cost of 20 USD a night. Bohemian feel to rooms, pretty spacious and loved the little seating/balcony area overlooking the lovely gardens.

No air con- although we didn’t need it (September stay) There were blinds/ voile at windows but no blackout curtains/blinds so as soon as sun came up, this woke us.

Very nice location and within walking distance to shops/ fishermen's warf. Very nice breakfast with bagels, tea, coffee, fruit: served in an extra breakfast room on cute dishes. Monterey has a different landscape than beach cities. Lots if wood and cypresses. Staff was very nice. Very stylish make-up table in the room. Nice heating fan in the bathroom.

Could offer a safe. Bedrooms have no window but one door (patio).

We loved our stay here. The room was so cosy, big beds and comfortable but the top was the fireplace! They give you logs so you can light the fire. The room was very clean, and we had housekeeping service It’s set in a quiet, yet central neighbourhood and very safe. The breakfast is nice and simple You can park the car inside

Although there are quite a good amount of parking spaces you need to pay $40 per night - should probably be included for the price of the room

Well thought out and spacious room, very clean with multiple power points close to the bed and great WiFi connection, continental breakfast had lots of choice. Staff were friendly and professional. Really enjoyed my stay here.

A little road noise but not excessive due to thicker than average walls.

Great location - right in the heart of downtown. We used to live in the area so it was great to go back and being within walking distance of the aquarium, the wharf and downtown was perfect.

The fireplace did give off a little more smoke then I would have liked but it was nice to have the fire going on a cool and dam evening. This is our second time here and will definitely return.

Perfect location, nice breakfast. At check in we even got a log from the front desk to burn in the fireplace! All in all we had a great stay!

The bed mattress could use an update, except if you like getting bounced around if your partner moves. And the decorations in the room were borderline tacky but that was amusing rather than an actual problem :D.

The picture of the hotel is misleading. We stayed in a normal house, but still the room was nice and spacious and clean. The balcony was nice. The breakfast was very nice! The staff also was very nice. Parking was available for a fee.

The misleading cover photo of a Victorian House, since you won‘t be staying there most likely. The room was dark, hardly any daylight came in. The road is a bit noisy.

It had a lovely look and feel to it. Great location. Our room was beautiful and a lovely size with everything we needed. Very pleased.

We could have done with some thicker curtains over our front door, as we just had net curtains for privacy, but that’s just a small thing.
