Everything about the service, room, and stay was great, only suggestion is to improve the breakfast quality. Items included refrigerated hard boiled eggs, cereal, bagels, and toast, not the usual selection we’ve experienced at other Best Westerns. Not a dealbreaker but something to consider.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We have stayed here twice and had very good experiences. No issues with check-in and the room is clean. The property is older and could probably use some cosmetic upgrades, but has been maintained and it didn't detract from our stay. The rooms themselves must be well insulated because we didn't have any issues with outside or hallway noise. Our favorite feature is the adjoining rooms, which is perfect for my family of 4 with the kids both under the age of 5. This setup allowed the kids to take naps and the adults could be in the other room or sit on the balcony without disturbing them.
The continental breakfast is standard: cereal, waffles, pastries, and fruit. It is about a 5 minute drive to the aquarium and beach access is even closer, though not quite walkable.
The hotel felt homey and comfortable. The rooms were clean and the included breakfast had many options and was delicious. If I were to stay in Monterey again, I’d choose here!
Our room was clean and quiet. There was a nice balcony with a view. The kitchen was large and functional. There was plenty of hot water. The coffee at the breakfast service was great. The bed was a little soft but OK.
Great access to Asilomar Conference grounds where I was attending a conference. Property is old and kind of funky and shows its age.

Perfect!
This was perfect for our getaway! We enjoyed having not only a living area and kitchen, but also our own private outdoor patio to enjoy the beautiful weather! We would absolutely stay here again!
It can be classified as "shabby chic" as my girlfriend put it, but frankly I didn't want to leave. We had the suite that has the kitchen, large deck, fireplace-- I know I could have stayed longer. Really the only thing missing it was dish towels and a dish rack to make cleaning our dishes easier. I'm not even sure people realize that there were actually utensils available. It made it very easy to not just stay here but make it feel a little bit more homey.
