“Great location and great staff”
The member of staff at check-in was an absolute dream - he gave us all of the information needed and could not have been more helpful/ Location is excellent, located on Cannery Row and with 5-10 minute walk in one direction to the aquarium and the same distance the other way to the wharf.

“Very pleasant stay”
Nice hotel with an A1 location on Cannery Row in Monterey - great base from which to explore Monterey and the surrounding Monterey/Carmel area. Nice large rooms with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. We had a sea-view room and loved watching (and listening!) to the sea-lions and sea otters swimming just a few yards from our balcony.

“Sea lions and seals!”
Wow, what a location! We arrived and parked the car (free parking at the hotel) and were shocked to be confronted by tens and tens of sea lions and seals! Never seen anything like it, it was lovely. Being able to sit on our balcony watching them swim around was great too.
