The hotel's location is superb--close to the Aquarium and Cannery Row shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The coffee in the room was the best ever. Outside are two fire pits that you can enjoy with the snacks they give you upon arrival. Parking is extra but very convenient!

The staff was awesome- warm, friendly and helpful. The location is great and the room was very comfortable and spotless to boot. The gas fire pits and noon check out cap it off as a new favorite of mine. Will definitely stay there again on my next Monterey trip.
