Cozy place to stay
This place is so cozy and right by cannery row. You are within a block. The staff are nice and rooms are upgraded and clean. They have fire pits available and the overall feel is great.

Location was perfect. Close to The Wharf, Canary Row, aquarium, dining and shopping. Very walkable. Fee to park, was worth it, we parked and didn’t need the car until checkout, which is noon, but you can park until 4 on check out date.

Very close to the ocean. Most rooms have a good ocean view! The outdoor area is very nice with some fire pits to spend the evening by. This spot is a block away from cannery row which is where we spent most of our time.

Perfect location
I haven't been to Monterey in over 25 years and staying here has inspired more frequent visits. The hotel itself was easy to get to and the overnight parking was competitively priced. I loved that they give you a snack bag at check-in. They definitely know how to treat long-drive travelers. More so, the staff was really nice and the location was perfect. There's really no need to l drive anywhere because you can walk to restaurants and hit other tourist spots, including the aquarium. We're definitely returning!
