10/10 Excellent
"This hotel has all the charm you'd expect in Monterey, and so much more. Our standard room was spacious with a kitchenette, sitting area, separate bathtub and shower, and lovely patio. My stay was business-related, but I'll book again for vacations and special.occasions. The location is ideal for sightseeing. This was my favorite lodging in the Monterey/Napa area by far."
