    Monterey area recent (2019) visit
    Although this property is no longer a part of Joie de Vivre chain, it still retains the air of a boutique hotel. With an ideal location, on the sand and ocean views, no visit to the area is complete without a visit here. The restaurant offers a mid priced varied menu in a…

    I chose this location for a 2 day getaway offer and didn’t look at the ratings until much later. After reading so many poor reviews I was very concerned about staying here. When we got there I was pleasantly surprised, although the outside of the building needs major updating…

    Are all of the rooms pet-friendly? We have allergies so would need to stay in a non pet-friendly room. Thanks
    You can ask for a room that has NOT had a pet and I'm sure they can accommodate you. They are so kind.

    "Make sure you get a room on the ocean side on the 2nd-4th floor."
    "ocean view rooms do have a great view"
    "If the sound of the ocean keeps you awake, ask for a garden view room. The ocean is literally outside the hotel."
    "Either a partial ocean view or ocean view is worth the extra"
    "Be sure to get an Ocean view room. 'Partial ocean view' rooms allow you to walk right out to the seats to watch the waves."
