In the Words of our Monterey Guests

We recently stayed here just one night and were sad to leave. The hotel is set in pretty grounds, not far from the local shops, bars and restaurants. On arrival the staff were super friendly and helpful and recommended somewhere for a quick breakfast the next day on our way to an early whale watching trip. The pool area was well maintained and was not too busy. We were able to park outside our room and the room itself was clean and comfortable. Monterey itself is worth a visit and we were sad to stay only one night. We didn’t eat at the restaurant but it looked good. We did try the bar and sat by the fire in the lobby with drinks. All in all a really nice stay on our way to Santa Barbara. Would recommend!

It was clean, easy to find and it had parking as well. We stopped in Monterey to have a relaxing day and having a pool at the hotel made that possible for us. Restaurant on site was nice too!

Great location, wonderful restaurant, nice room with good sized bathroom, and reasonable rates

wonderful location, very clean and comfortable.

No issues. Reception easy and stay friendly. Easy to find and park. Good quiet location a short walk from Town centre - wharf etc. Would happily stay here again. Bar shut at 9pm but we were able to take our drinks to patio area so no big deal.

The location of the hotel was convenient to restaurants and coffee shops and a quick drive to Cannery Row. Parking at the hotel was convenient.

We had a very nice stay here. Beautiful grounds, convenient location near city center, nice clean rooms (if a bit small), service was good, and the restaurant Esteban was spot on! Breakfast of buttermilk waffles with a fruit compote on top was amazing! All of this for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Spent 9 days in this area. Henna at front desk was especially helpful. Welcoming & knowledgeable. Can buy 2-day passes to the Monterey Aquarium (top aquarium in US) at the hotel for the price of one-day tickets. Executive Chef Gus Trejo served up his unique version of Spanish Negra Paella. Fabulous, and I’ve never before been a big fan of paella before this. He visited with us on the outdoor terrace that has heaters & fireplaces. Sent us off with his new warm breads for breakfast. Lovely man. Awesome chef! Reasonably priced. Great location.

Family visiting from Spain. Decided to check out the hotel restaurant as it was getting late, and what an unexpected delight! We had the cheese platter, asparagus salad, and harvest paella with chicken (with seasonal local vegetables), and finished with 3 dessert dishes - home made port ice cream with honey cake, chocolate creme brulee, and apple tart with homemade cinnamon ice cream - everything was exceptional! The Spaniards were very impressed. Also, you have to try the sangria!

The Chef Gus Trejo prepared the most amazing meal! We had delicious lamp chops, dates filled with bleu cheese, fresh made country bread, locally sourced scallops and sardines. Yeah made ice cream and more! Everything was hand picked and local - Amazing! Richard was our charming server. He made great menu and wine suggestions and his service was impeccable! Highly recommended!
