"My daughter and I flew into Monterey for a girls weekend. The staff at the door and desk were attentive, kind and helpful. The lobby was strikingly beautiful and clean. We asked the concierge for non tourist suggestions for food and entertainment. We got great recommendations that were walkable and fit the hours of opening for business we needed. The elevators are fast, hallways bright and clean. The room was clean, crisp and nicely set with good electronic amenities. House keeping staff were friendly and helpful with a few things we needed that we forgot. We will stay again!"
