    Last minute change of plans!
    We booked this place at the last minute due to a change of plans. It was super value for money. The room was a good size with all the necessary basic amenities. Plenty of place nearby to eat and only 10mins from Monterey’s main attractions. WiFi was good and the fridge and…

    Nice trip to Monterey
    Stayed here last night and liked that there was hardwood floors and, a pump dispenser for soap, lotion, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner so it is more environmentally friendly. The room was small and cozy with a queen, which for some reason looked smaller. Everything we…

    Great place!
    The room was clean and updated. The bed was comfortable; we slept really well. Only noise we could hear was from the airport nearby but they don’t take off/land late or super early so we weren’t bothered at all. Good coffee...Great customer service!

    Monterey in January
    Place was great! Clean, modern, and beds were comfortable. Check in was easy and pleasant. Overall is easy an excellent experience. My husband suggested that the light canisters on ceiling needed some attention but nothing big.

    What hours is the indoor pool open? I see it's only 3/4 enclosed. Is it still open during rainy weather?
    Pool closes at 9 p.m. It is probably open while it rains, but you can call and ask. The pool is not completely indoors. One of the sides is open to an outdoor patio.

    "Get the number of the hotel itself and call them, not the booking number."
    "Floors need to be mopped."
    "The room was very comfortsble and clean. Upgrades look upgraded, but are painted over rotten wood."
    "If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room closer to the office. Can hear the music from the venue and the club next door."
    "Avoid the room on the end on the back row because of the noisy garbage collection."
