This location is great. The room was not fancy of course but it was clean. The staff was all exceptionally nice, and they were very accommodating to us. Above and beyond. You can basically walk anywhere you would want to go from here, and the parking is good and the price is right!

AC was extremely efficient. Beds very comfortable. Room was very clean. Great pillows! Easy walk around ftont of hotel to a variety of breakfast restaurants. Parking directly in front of room. 25 dollar plus tax for parking is a bit much after 244.00 for the night tho. Other hotels in area with free parking and better amenities. But convenient for a late nite sleep.

I love this hotel, we've been going here since it was the Monterey in the late 90s. It's clean, the staff is great and the location is in the historic area right on the bay. You just park your car and there is no need to get back in it till you leave. The trolly stops right in front and you can get off and on all day in the historic area.
