"Pet friendly but your pets have to go with you wherever you go. That’s hard at times for someone like me so make sure you got a way to transport your fur babies. Plenty of things within walking distance, you got Denny's and Walmart right next door. Glad this hotel has two washers and dryers which is a plus to me. Staff were nice as well, no complaints, it’s a great stay. "

"good"

"Location, safety, little gas fireplace in the room, and complimentary breakfast are great. There is no thermostat in the room.... it was a chilly spring stay, which was OK with me, but might not suit others. Sparse amenities, but coffee machine and fridge. Sweet old-fashioned motor inn, nicely kept. "

"Property is being improved. Our mattress was good, the little refrigerator worked fine and the AC/heater worked fine. We rented two rooms for ourselves and my son with two of his daughters. Great location and excellent value compared to the cost of surrounding hotels."

"Have been staying there for awhile and was no impressed on my last night there "

"Everything was great to say the least."

"For the price, a pretty good hotel. Rooms are a bit small and dated. They are more like little cottages. Older blackout drapes, but they work well, and the AC works very well."

"Clean room and nice that it was contactless access "

"The perfect coastal escape for locals who want an oceanfront experience without a long drive. This hotel feels like a “training cruise”—you’re still on land, but completely immersed in the sound and presence of the ocean. Although the property sits along the main road and is conveniently close to top attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the oceanfront side is an entirely different world. Step out back and you’re transported into a peaceful, almost surreal beachfront setting. Highlights include the magical and romantic Lantern Room restaurant on the fourth floor, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and the stunning glass-walled lobby with a massive fireplace overlooking the ocean. The modern bar and the unique self-service wine machine—where you can pour one or two glasses daily as part of the resort fee—add a fun and upscale touch. The nightly “marshmallow box” treat is a 10/10, especially thanks to the high-quality chocolate. Dining at the Lantern Room (breakfast and dinner at additional cost) is a must, especially for the breads and pastries sourced from a well-known local bakery in downtown Monterey. The beachfront rooms are worth it—especially on upper floors for safety and views. The experience strongly echoes a cruise vibe: endless ocean views, the soothing sound of waves, and a long stretch of beach perfect for walks. It’s easy to spend days without leaving the property, fully unplugging and and resetting mentally. Amenities are a solid 10 out of 10"
