The hotel was like being in a Motel 6, with a noticeable bad odor in the room but the street-level reception was convenient. The service was top-notch and incredibly helpful, especially accommodating gluten-free requests. The location was a bit far but worth it with a partial bay view, nestled between Fisherman's Wharf and downtown areas. The dining experience was a mix of great value and disappointment. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a super comfy bed and a great shower. It's conveniently located right over the Peter's Brewpub, which stays open until midnight. The room was big enough to accommodate two double beds, but I wish they were queen-sized.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped, spotlessly clean, and extremely quiet, although being under a walkway made it a little dark. The service was incredible, with the staff going above and beyond to help me with setting up a private tour and making dinner reservations. The location couldn't have been better, being so close to Monterey's attractions and within walking distance of Fishermans Wharf. The dining experience was delightful, especially enjoying the buffet, though it felt a bit overpriced. Overall, a fantastic hotel with great amenities and service.

The rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, although some may find the courtyard view slightly obstructed. The service is consistently friendly and helpful, with staff accommodating special requests and assisting with tour arrangements. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a comfortable stay with a prime location near the attractions of Monterey.

Upon arrival, the room wasn't set up in any special way, and it was quite cold at 18 degrees Celsius. Despite having reserved since November, this wasn't the warmest welcome. The service, while helpful and professional, was marred by being rudely told that our rooms were not ready and that a request is just a request. It took five requests just to get some butter, and the staff could have been more accommodating. The location was nice, close to the old Fisherman's Wharf and downtown Monterey, but lacked the expected ocean vibe. The dining experience was good, with reasonably priced options and healthy choices, although the service could be improved. Overall, the hotel offers basic amenities with room for enhancement.

I felt lucky to have a room overlooking the courtyard with its large and clean space and a beautiful view of the harbor. The service was superb, especially when they made special arrangements for my spouse's birthday. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw away from Fisherman's Wharf and downtown Monterey. The dining experience offered healthy options, though at an additional cost. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel had a separate building for rooms with a patio view, and though our room was hot and stuffy at times, the wow factor was undeniable. The service was helpful and courteous, offering free parking, but there were minor hiccups in communication. The location was perfect for exploring Fisherman's Wharf and downtown Monterey, with plenty of dining options within walking distance. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some impressive aspects but room for improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
