I had the ocean view room and the view was beautiful. The fireplace was lovely. However, the beach was very smelly as there was a dead sea lion and tons of dead birds on the beach.

The location was PERFECT. We also really enjoyed the fire bag in the fireplace. The continental breakfast really lacked protein but that's our only complaint.

We had a wonderful stay at The Beach House. It was exactly what we needed for a quick get-away. Room was a tad-bit dated, but the view and sliding doors to the patio were everything. Breakfast was a wonderful array of local and healthy options of baked goods, yogurt, fruit, etc. (The coffee was very good!) The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed the large room with fireplace overlooking the harbor. Spent time walking the coast line and loved being able to go next door to Sam's for drinks and dinner. The pasteries at the breakfast were outstanding! Thank you for a memorable stay!

Staying at the Beach House on our way to Monterey Car Week has become a tradition for my husband and I. After the short drive from SFO we look forward to sitting on our deck, relaxing and watching the pelicans. Rooms are spacious, with a fireplace and kitchenette. The hotel is close to many great local restaurants. But they do serve an excellent continental breakfast. We’ll be back next year!
