10/10 Exceptional

Good for short stay in Monterey.

Quiet at night (we had a room at the back above the carport), close to downtown and the wharf, good selection continental breakfast. Clean, spacious room. As others have noted, no elevator and a fee for parking. Price better than other properties in the area.

Our Favorite New Place to Stay!

It was a beautifully decorated historical room. It was cozy and in walking distance to the venue where we attended a show. The continental breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Friendly staff and the room was perfect!

Excellent.

Beautiful old world charm hotel in perfect location. More of a guest house than hotel, so lacking facilities some may require. If you want clean, charming and a perfect location look no farther. Great garden space to one side, with my room having a nice balcony overlook of this space. I ate breakfast there both days of my stay. Perfectly located for the harbour and waterfront options, equally good for the bars and restaurants along Alvarado.
Shady balcony overlooking courtyard.
Douglas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, wonderful staff, and the room was very sweet.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little hotel in the heart of Monterey- our only issue was with the onsite parking, which was pretty small and difficult to navigate. Other than that, we’d highly recommend the property.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quick overnight stay

Our day was amazing! Loved having the fireplace in our room with a complementary log.. Room was very clean and updated. Can’t wait to plan the next trip and stay there.
Christine, 1-night trip

Beautiful place to stay at with a fireplace in the room.
Jose, 2-night trip

Very nice boutique hotel. Feels like you’re in a house. Took a bit to get hot/cold water to be correct temp and the parking is very tight. Very safe and convenient spot. Would come again.
