Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location. However, the dining options were limited. The overall experience was positive, especially considering the good value for money.
The hotel is lovely with beautifully decorated rooms, accommodating my husband's disability. The service was excellent, providing helpful advice to avoid tourist crowds. The location is fabulous, offering a quaint setting and a nice garden view, though a bit distant from major attractions. The dining was a nice touch with a fair selection for a complimentary meal. Overall, a charming stay with some minor drawbacks.
I found my stay at the hotel quite interesting. The rooms had a unique faux antique theme and were spotless, although a bit dark without windows except for the doors. The service was a bit inconsistent with financial transactions, but overall, the staff was kind and helpful. The location was perfect for exploring Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row on foot, despite the lack of views from the room. The dining experience was satisfying with a variety of breakfast options, and the facilities were adequate.
Staying at this hotel was a real value for money with rooms nicely appointed with antique furnishings, very tasteful, and clean. However, facing the parking space with no other window was a bit of a downside.
The hotel is ideally located near the Wharf, downtown, and the Monterey Trolley, making it perfect for exploring the area. The rooms are cute, clean, and comfortable, with a charming courtyard garden view but the dining options are somewhat limited. The friendly and attentive service adds to the overall positive experience, and the price is reasonable for the value provided.
