The window had a great view. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. The walls are super super thin and we could hear every single step taken in the room above us. The air conditioning is also very loud.

3/5 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
If your focus is staying within walking distance of the shops, restaurants, etc in the Canary Row side of Monterey. The location is perfect. Rooms were nice enough and clean but the dust ruffles of the bedding had a bunch of holes in them. I also noticed a few silver fish in the bathroom. They give you snacks and there’s a coffee set up but no drinking water in the room. Certain items/amenities I get at cheaper hotels were not available here. No breakfast options either. Also, unfortunately I didn’t sleep well as I was constantly waken up by seagulls and other loud creatures or birds during the night. During the day it was fine though. It was odd. My family that stayed at the other hotels a couple minutes behind this one didn’t have any noise issues.

We stood on the 4th floor we can see the ocean which was nice! I love how this hotel is so closed to cannery row. A street over we can walk from our hotel. Plus fisherman’s wharf is only a 3 min drive too. Wave cafe across the street a great little place to eat with great food. Only downfall no iron in room or microwave. But can request an iron. There’s a Starbucks like two minute walk as well for that early cup of coffee.
