Would not stay again.

I had a bad experience overall on one side there were children, crying, and their mother was constantly yelling at them. You could hear everything on the other side in the middle of the night. I was woken up by someone snoring really loud. It was so close to my heart headboard That I couldn’t sleep. The walls are extremely thin and you can hear

A Relaxing and Memorable Stay

We recently stayed at the Inn and overall, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and accommodating, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The lobby was clean and beautifully decorated, setting a great first impression. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a comfortable bed, newly renovated bathroom with shampoo, conditioner and body soap included. The location was also a major plus. It was conveniently close to Monterey downtown and the aquarium.

AC was broken. 45F outside and heater was a movable room AC/heater unit. Oddly the unit was dripping water like condensation before turning off and blinking red. Very noisy and loud Manager said he would look at it when informed. Broken towel rack. Water pressure and temperature varied widely while bathroom. Out of shampoo. D Will not return unless reviews become stellar and discounts offered ———— Linen and towels appeared clean View, could see the ocean Room was spacious but need updating and cleaning
