perfect location
the location is perfect so close to downtown and also close to some free public car parking in the weekend. unique furnitures very elegant and interesting. There was no breakfast included with my booking , I believe it may be a service they do not provide.

Charming and comfortable
Charming and comfortable small hotel. Super helpful and pleasant staff. Great location, it was a 30 minute scenic walk to the Aquarium and Cannery Row and a five minute drive. Great restaurants are steps away. My room was small but comfortable and pretty. I was in the historic side. It was slightly inconvenient getting to the elevator but worth it for me.

We will be back!
The hotel was perfectly located in the historic Monterey area and an easy walk to the Ward! It’s a super fun and quite different! A mini fridge would have been helpful, and the little heater knob is a bit tricky to find if you’re not sure what to look for, but nothing to worry about. We loved it and will be back!
