Beautiful building. Good location, lots of nice amenities. Good breakfast, surprisingly quiet on the main floor. Easy booking and check in. Staff member on duty when we were there could use a little reminder that friendliness goes a long way. Lovely property but could use a little attention to detail- blinds are worn, lots of dings and marks on the walls, generally looks overly lived in. No need for a big remodel or redecoration, just attention to the small things that detract from the overall experience. I would stay there again, just some feedback

Our room was small but very quiet and comfortable. It is an old hotel, but that's ok. The continental breakfast was great, and having coffee available all day was nice as well as the free glass of wine in the evening. We loved sitting on the outside front porch enjoying the glass of wine. It was walkable to everything, including the beach. The staff was great - very helpful and knowledgeable!

My friends and I stayed at this inn for a few days and the location was on point! 10/10 staff was very helpful and the sizing of the rooms exactly what we needed. The property felt very cottage-core. It was very well maintained. The property also was attentive to detail aesthetically. Aside from all that, there was a little bit of confusion on how to have our room cleaned. Despite putting the note on the doorknob to let staff know that we’d like our room cleaned, it wasn’t done. It wasn’t until after a couple days into our stay that we were told that text messages should’ve been sent to us each morning about whether we wanted housekeeping. However, it seemed to be that we hadn’t had that messaging system set up due to us booking the inn via Expedia. So better communication on how we can get our rooms cleaned just needs to be clarified! Other than that, the stay was very pleasant! I’d recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the Monterey area! :)

We loved everything about our stay but the fact that the two things that we wanted to use most were unable to be used, which is our Jacuzzi bath tub with the Jets, not working in there and also the fireplace that was not working at this time. we feel like we couldn’t get the full experience with those two things not working. One of the most beloved things there was the staff member Tehilia (apologize if spelled wrong) was super sweet, kind, and very helpful during our stay.

Great simple breakfast. Parking spaces were limited but street parking relatively easy. Our room in the main building was small but cozy, however, carpet was old and musty. Bathroom towels could use an upgrade - they look tired & dingy. All and all staff were friendly & very accommodating during our stay.

Self parking, but you have to find parking on the streets. Breakfast included small banana muffins, parfait, and bagels. What I found outstanding: Friendly staff and a glass of free champagne from 6-8. Centrella is a 10 minute walk from Lovers Point.
