Staff was great Room was big and clean Great location
Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely historical hotel. Beautifully restored with many original details but also nicely appointed with modern conveniences. For example, large newly renovated bathroom and great wifi. It is rare to find a historical hotel that retains its vintage charm with such well done modern updates. Additionally, all staff we had contact with were incredibly welcoming, professional & a pleasure to chat with.

Corinne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great, clean and had beautiful wood vaulted ceilings. I loved the historic charm but it had nice upgraded features in the bathroom. The glass french doors opened to let fresh air in. Felt very safe and secluded almost.

ELENA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was quiet and comfortable. They also offered a complimentary log to enjoy in my room’s fireplace which made for a cozy evening. The hotel was only a few blocks from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf. Parking was a bit tight but manageable. I would happily stay here again!

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a great find. It is located very near the wharf. The room was clean and cozy, and they offer a free log for the fireplace. On-site parking cost $20 and it was very nice being able to park right below our second story room. Checkin/ checkout was easy and the included breakfast was a nice touch. We will definitely be staying here the next time we visit Monterey.

Isabel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is perfect and the room was very charming. We loved the character and feel of the room. The one complaint we had was the tv did not connect to our phone and the front desk did not have a recommendation to resolve it. Other than that very minor issue, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
