The hotel was conveniently located in the touristy area of Monterey so if you like that it's a good deal. But the hotel itself is worn down and needing an update. It IS clean though and feels safe. The staff were friendly and professional too.

“Old style” Hotel, right in the middle of town, so much to do and see. Great restaurants right next to the hotel, I chose to park across the street, in the public parking structure, easy in and out. The room was basic but clean, very small tv, clean sheets, bathroom was small but clean and nice. No complaints at all, it’s priced right, for what you get, in this area.

Cool old property but it is really showing its age. The door to our room was difficult to open, there were stains on the carpet and some of the furniture has seen better days. That being said the room and bathroom were clean and perfectly functional and the loaction can;t be beat.
