Location is amazing and its a super charming, very old building. Staff was fantastic as well. The room was bare bones but to be expected. No soap for handwashing and seemed housekeeping isn't super motivated. The area is incredibly loud at night so bring ear plugs.

Very clean and well run hotel at a perfect location to enjoy the best of Monterey. The rooms were charming and quiet even though the hotel is located on a busy street. They were super welcoming to our dog and the charges were reasonable. We even lucked out on parking and found a spot in the garage across the street. Would definitely come back.

The room felt dirty--badly stained carpet was hard to ignore. We were in the "Historic" section, and this meant windows that didn't work, groaning pipes from a shower going on above us, poor lighting, no bedside table, a musty odor. The location in the city is good, parking was offsite, but not inconvenient, and the close-by British pub was great. Staff were friendly but didn’t project a bustling, professional vibe.
