This hotel is a gem in Monterey! The rooms were spotless from top to bottom, although we had to wait an hour for our room to be ready at check-in. The service was efficient, professional, and cheerful, making our stay truly delightful. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the aquarium and Cannery Row, and with stunning views of otters and seabirds. Although the price may be a bit high, the value for money is definitely there.

The service was friendly and helpful, particularly in addressing cleanliness issues. The dining options were adequate but nothing exceptional.
