The staff was very helpful and upgraded us to an oceanfront room when it became available.
The pool was nice and clean and the staff offered s’mores for a sweet treat on the beach one evening. The bar was nice as well.

I will absolutely come back here again! Me and my man loved the close beach access, the 2 free wine glass fills that come with the stay, the food, the staff, the free smore kit. Unforgettable experience, thank you!

We’ll be staying here whenever we’re in Monterey from now on. The hotel was in great shape, right on the beach, and had an attached full restaurant and bar. Staff were all super nice. It’s an extra 10 minutes to drive to the aquarium or golf courses, but well worth it for the price.

Rooms are small (and you can barely shut the bathroom door when you are in there), but you are paying for the beautiful view. Best feature of the hotel is the lobby, with amazing views of the waves, birds, seals, otters & dolphins. Happy hour at the wine bar starts at 3! There were a few snafus while we were there but the staff went above & beyond to make things right.

Rooms were great. Had the little patio area overlooking the ocean. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Friendly staff and rooms had everything we needed. DO NOT TAKE THE toy looking blue BINOCULARS from the room! That will be a $150 charge, The smores by the fire were a nice touch! I didn’t care for the glass of $17 Chardonnay. It was absolutely awful lol .

The room was very clean and comfortable, nice towels, cute coffee setup, large tv, great bed and pillows.
The lobby area was the place to hang out. It had a great vibe. The smores packets were a nice touch, as well as the free wine!
