Staff was friendly and helpful. But you can never make a second first impression and the carpet was filthy. The whole Hotel is tired, but the staff tried to make the best of it.
Great location great all around. Can’t wait to go back. Almost don’t wanna give it a good review because more people will go there and it’ll be harder to get a room
Unfortunately, I didn’t realize there’s no AC and it was excessively hot this weekend. So the windows had to be open and the street was the loudest street I have ever had outside a hotel. The front desk did bring a fan to the room, so the sleeping temp ended up being good. But it was unbearable in the room during the day. Pretty hotel and very walkable area.
the hotel is a nice older building; in general it was clean, spotless, as was the room.
we stayed one night; basically arrived in Monterey, sight seed, then went to the hotel to shower and sleep.
the building apparently has had additions and modifications. took the elevator to our floor; getting to our room was a little Trek, a map would have been helpful ;)
in the morning, cleaned up, packed, went for coffee in the lobby (via the stairs), that was nice.
checked out and on to more sight seeing.
Staff was very helpful. The carpet is filthy. Bed was clean.

Location was convenient. Room lacked basic amenities. Outlets wouldn’t hold plugged items. No fridge. No cups for coffee. TV frequently lost connection and would not work. Can hear others talking, showering, ect. Otherwise very charming due to its historic attractions.
I was interested in staying in the historic hotel, but didn’t realize absolutely no updates have been made.. overall it was fine, my family felt good in the hotel, walkable distance to restaurants
we took our girls to the aquarium not too far
Sad the hot tub was not serviced, no AC —but weather wasn’t bad luckily, nothing too special or nice about the rooms, parking was only available at a distance, but hospitable for the 2 nights
would probably go to a newer hotel for next time, was a fine experience overall
Room was comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful.

Unfortunately, because I stayed during a holiday weekend, my room rate skyrocketed to nearly $500. The room itself was noisy and the pillows were completely uncomfortable, somehow managing to be simultaneously too stiff and too soft. Great location. Sort of felt like a quality inn or an econo lodge.
This old hotel is very charming and in an excellent location. Everything is good, except a mucky smell in the room. Don't know if it's due to the previous guest had a pet or the age of the house. Housekeeping very quickly brought a can of air freshener. That helped a bit.
There is the updated side of the building and historic side. We had a room in the historic side and it was a charming room. If you would love to stay in a historic hotel. This is the spot.
