Best location, and great charm
Amazing location right on Cannery row over looking McAbee beach. Guest Service is great and attentive. From valet, bell to front desk, and wine hour, everyone was great. Complimentary breakfast delivered to the room and nightly wine and cheese hour are added bonuses. Fireplace in the room and great view of cannery row, can’t beat it. Love the charm of the hotel and in room robes. Will be back

Good Stay in Monterey
Great stay. Paid extra for upgrade for a room with a view of the ocean. The view was great, but next time I'll try to pay less ahead of time. Great service, good breakfast.

Fantasy-worthy
The most charming, romantic place, right out of a movie! High-quality linens, breakfast delivered each morning, a fireplace in the room, the best window seat, overlooking the beach. Walk straight out onto Cannery Row.

Nice place on Cannery Row
Nice place, right on Cannery Row. The place was very quiet. While we did have to deal with a valet for the car, they were always very prompt. We stayed over Christmas, which might have affected these things.

We'll be back
This is our 4th stay, we have stayed on every floor toward the ocean. 2nd floor over the restaurant is noisy. 3rd floor corner partially looks over the parking lot next door which is fine (and the room is a lot bigger and technically an upgrade). 4th floor has a raised ceiling and an extra window that can't be covered. But overall we keep coming back because everyone is friendly and the rooms are larger than the usual, and that little cove by the window has lights and total blackouts so we can hang as the toddler falls asleep. I think a few things could use a bit of maintenance like the shower fixtures were falling apart (but worked). But otherwise, we like the character and for the location (near aquarium and Ghirardelli) plus views plus service, we'll likely be back.

Romantic seaside stay with fireplace!
Romantic stay with my husband. The room was beautiful, and the fireplace added the perfect touch. Even though we faced the street, it was amazingly quiet through the night. Breakfast was delivered to our room and was such a treat to eat by the warm fireplace. We will definitely return!

Loved it here
The room was small but very cute and intimate. The view over looking the street was beautiful especially with all the holiday lights and music playing in the street. They served complimentary wine and cheese in the lobby between 4-6pm I believe.

Boutique Hotel with Fireplace and Firm Beds
Nice Boutique Hotel. Large room with sitting area and fireplace. Extra charge for parking which sucked. Bed was too firm. View of Cannery Row. It was loud until about 10:30 due to Sly Mc Flys and a "Christmas Parade" but quiet after that. I enjoyed the stay but Hubby's back was killing him in the morning.

Great hotel
Spent 2 days here and got the room with the ocean view. The staff was really nice and helpful. This hotel is also about a 5 min walk to the aquarium which is where I spent one of my days.

Property is beautiful and in a great location. Unfortunately our room had a leaky sink in the bathroom which caused the floors to be wet and we had to have towels on the floor. Thankfully we just stayed one night.

Ok stay
Overall the hotel was exactly as advertised. Amazing view on the ocean,walking distance to everything including the aquarium which was fun. Only thing I didn’t understand was the billing I’m used to hotels putting a refundable deposit on your card not sure why theirs was $1000, seems odd…..
