Word Of Mouth Matters

Stayed there with the family. It was a nice base for excursions. We had a room with sea view and for that category the proce was 👍Very nice was the Welcome in the evening - thx Carol.

We stayed here for a three day weekend. The best part of the inn was the location. It's an easy walk to Cannery Row and the aquarium. The staff were nice and friendly. Overall it was a great place to stay with updated modern rooms. We also loved the fire pits. However, we did have one issue. After taking showers one evening our bathtub backed up from the drain. We plugged it and it stopped it for awhile until it started coming out of the overflow. I dialed 0 in the middle of the night to let them know what was going on and the guy who answered had no solution. He didn't even attempt to call anyone or offer to let us switch rooms. We just had to hope it didn't overflow while we were sleeping. By the time morning rolled around the tub was almost overflowing. Thankfully we were checking out that day. The front desk staff did give us a discount, but it sounded like this was an ongoing problem with two rooms. So I just think if it is, why have these rooms available? I understand that places have issues, but don't rent the rooms out until they are fixed. Other than that the trip was great! I would stay here again just for the location alone, but make sure I request a different room number.

If it had a microwave in the room or anywhere in the hotel I would have given it 5 stars. Otherwise the location, room, and staff are all great for the price.

Location is fantastic. A short walk to aquarium, shops, restaurants, only a 10-15 walk along the water to the wharf/downtown. Room is as expected for an inn, but decor is modern. The issue is that it is an older inn so sound travels. We can hear footsteps above and they were quite loud. We live in a condo normally so we are understanding of sound travel but this was quite loud and I don't think they were stomping around. It is not a big issue (the noise was only in evenings and we were out most of the time) but best to know beforehand. This was a great place for first time visitors to Monterey and for families. Again, location is the best (there are other hotels nearby that are much more expensive). Parking is $17 a day.
