Location is excellent. Walking ...

Location is excellent. Walking distance to the USCG pier where I always find sea otters to photograph (all the photos of the otters and the video were taken on the pier, about a 5 minute walk from the hotel). Walking distance to restaurants and even a 7-11 up the street for late night munchies. The view from the balcony with the sounds of the Pacific were enough reason to leave the sliding door open with the screen closed the entire time. My only complaint was the thin ceiling. My last night there someone was walking with heavy feet for like an hour. I called the desk to complain and the noise stopped within 10 minutes and I was able to sleep. Maybe I'll ask for a room on the top floor next time. All the of the staff was friendly. They were extremely polite and eager to help. Offered me water anytime I was in the lobby!

My son and I stayed here last week. Property was very clean and we have no complaints. The rooms were very nice and the views were unbeatable. I would absolutely stay here again! We were able to see otters out in the water and even saw a sea lion swimming by playing during sunrise. The staff was incredibly polite during check in. It’s such a great location and walkable to many things.

The hallways aren't the nicest but the rooms are beautiful so dont judge the outside. The location is amazing and walking distance to aquarium, wharf and more. Theres a beach right next door and the rooftop hot tub is amazing. Love it here! Michelle was so helpful and incredibly nice! Can't wait to come back!

Top notch service for ...

Top notch service for a small hotel. Great views from the room of the beach, ocean and harbor. We saw and heard seals from our room. The room had binoculars we used to see all sorts of nature. They have covered parking, housekeeping, breakfast delivered to the room (hard boiled eggs,fruit,pastries, coffee,milk,orange juice) at a time you pick. We walked to the main cannery row a few times. They have 2 hot tubs 4th floor and 2nd floor small but clean and powerful jets. The bathroom has 2 sinks and a separate room for the toilet. Plenty of towels a large closet with a safe. What a great place for a great time. We will be back!

Fantastic location and the view can't be beat. We had a corner suite and could see sea otters the entire time we stayed (3 days). Room was beautiful and we loved the bathroom. Only issue were the windows could really use a cleaning, would have made the view that much more amazing. Also paying $25 dollars a day for parking when we spent $750+ a night seemed a bit excessive. That being said I would stay again next time we're in Monterey.
