It was a close, comfy and convenient stay. Will definitley stay here again our next time out. Welcoming and friendly staff at check in. It was great walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants on Cannary Row. Loved the firepits they have that are light every evening. Comfy Bed and Clean and modern bathroom.

When I searched for a place ...

When I searched for a place for my extended weekend visit, several friends named places in Seaside and the surrounding area for lodging. In thinking about my schedule and likely points of interest, I figured that living in town would be more convenient. In searching Travelocity, this place came up with a 3+ Yelp rating so I read a few reviews to get a feel of why some reviews described it as just average. When I arrived on a Thursday late afternoon, I pulled in from the Foam Street entrance and found a parking space straight ahead. I walked to the reception room and checked in, getting two room keys and learning the elevator is key card activated whether going up or down. I filled out a form describing my vehicle and was given a card with my room # and stay dates to validate my daily parking there for $17 per day. I was given a white paper goodie bag that I shared with my friends who joined me a couple days later. I went to my car and left this card on my dashboard and grabbed my luggage to bring to my room. I liked that I needed to use my key card whether coming or going to use the elevator. When I opened the door, I found the room layout comforting and practical. The size of the room made this family friendly. The restroom is spacious and, given the climate here, it was nice being able to open the room and bathroom windows for natural ventilation. There are 2nd floor fireplaces, more impressive in the evening when they are lit. I noticed the hotel sold S'mores kits in case you want to enjoy the fire pits. I stayed for three nights getting a good sleep nightly. Thank you, Jenn, for your hospitality and helpful tips from telling me about the sea lions, the dining options within the block, and directions to and advice on places that I wanted visit. I would stay here again when I'm ready for another trip to the area.

A nice, quaint, comfortable stay in prime Monterey

We’ve stayed here twice before. It’s a great location and you can walk everywhere. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Rooms are nicely appointed and in good condition. Outdoor areas in courtyard are nice with fire pits and seating.
