Clean, comfortable, cute, quiet place. We didn’t drive at all while here as it was close to everything we wanted to do. We will stay here again!

Our Favorite New Place to Stay!

It was a beautifully decorated historical room. It was cozy and in walking distance to the venue where we attended a show. The continental breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Friendly staff and the room was perfect!

One of the finest hotels that we have experienced in Monterey. Everything about this hotel is “Top Notch!” Thanks to the entire hotel staff for an outstanding experience. This was our 2nd time at this location. Looking forward to our next visit.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked the historic building and mission furnishings, spacious rooms, breakfast, and proximity to pier and old Monterey landmarks. On-site parking wasn’t a problem, perhaps because it was winter and our car is compact.
