This hotel is very good value for money. The rooms are clean, spacious and equipped with a huge bed, a fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board – little touches that make a huge difference to the quality of your stay. Breakfast and internet is included in the price, which is quite rare. Breakfast is basic and self service but is... More

After spending a week I am thoroughly pleased with the staff and amenities here. Even during winter the temperatures have been pleasant. I strongly would refer anyone I know to stay here. The friendliness and service compares with any 5 star hotel - Sincerely Sheila M.

We had a great time in and around Monterey--it was easy to get to all the sights. (This hotel offers the two-day Aquarium extension pass.) Our room was always clean, continental breakfast was nice--fruit, toast, muffins, juice, coffee, boiled eggs, etc. The owners were friendly and attentive. Plenty of access to local grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, etc. I hope we... More

Did cannery row during the day, and a bonfire in Carmel at night. As a working college student, I don't have much excess time or money. I had a wonderful stay and I will most definitely stay here multiple times a year. There is much to do in this little area and it was a blast!
