You have to keep in mind that you are staying at a historic hotel. It’s beautiful & has that old hotel feel, which I always love. The amenities are so so, but that is to be expected. With that being said the room I stayed in has all the comforts of home. It’s cozy & the water is hot :) I enjoy staying in places like this which may not be the same for everyone. The staff is very warming & welcoming; and for me that is everything when you choose a place to stay when out of town. You can walk out the front door & have an huge options of places to eat & shop. And I love that ! I would definitely book a stay at this hotel again.

This is an older hotel, but the location is perfect. So easy to get around Monterey and enjoy the area. My only gripe was that the lighting was inconvenient. One light on ceiling that was super bright and two wall sconces that were no where near the bed. I would stay here again though.

Wonderful historical hotel
We loved our stay. We chose a historical room and really loved it. The architecture is beautiful, we checked out the old elevator next to the check in desk (it doesn’t work obviously but was really neat). The location is amazing, close to everything. Definitely would stay again.

Historic, charming hotel in Old Monterey conveniently located to many restaurants, shopping and the Golden State Theatre. Although the room and bathroom were not very spacious because of its historic nature, it was clean and we had a great night's rest. Staff was friendly and there is a grab-and-go breakfast (mainly fruits, coffee and tea.) Would definitely stay again if back in the area for its charm and convenient location.

This is a great stay at a local hotel with reasonable prices. It is conveniently located directly on Alvarado Street, the main street of Monterey and within walking distance of Del Monte Beach, the Monterey Wharf, and Cannery Row. The hotel is clean, the staff friendly, and it has charm.
