6/10 Good

Great Service and Location
Hotel was nice, clean and location is great. The service was wonderful. The room was tiny. The queen bed had a king bed frame back board which was somewhat odd; however, it wasn't too big of a deal. The room location I was in, had a window next to an outdoor stairwell that wasn't much of a view at all and I needed to close window because of the people walking up and down stairs in morning and evening/night. I wanted to keep window open to keep room ventilated (it was a bit stuffy). The people upstairs from me (I was on 3rd floor) we're too noisy, but I heard everything...chatting, walking and tv. This wasn't the hotel's fault, just the way hotels are sometimes. So, when you check-in, ask for a room that's not by a stairwell. Overall, it was a good rating.

2/10 Poor

The bathroom floor was slippery and our room was located near the entrance back door and was very loud. There was no daily maid service and we had to take out our own trash.

8/10 Very good

Not great, no AC. Central though
It’s an old hotel with no ac. They brought us a fan and the front desk attendant was very helpful fixing our tv, so some gives and takes. Easily walkable to the wharf.

Stay was good. Even though there was no AC the bay breeze kept the room cool.

8/10 Very good

Quaint boutique hotel close to everything.
We stayed in a deluxe king room with a fireplace and arched window (not the suite). It was a quaint, comfortable room with no AC but a pedestal fan in the room. Plantation shutters with a slat or two missing. There is a possibly a reason their hotel site doesn't include a lot of photos of the rooms? Turned out it was very cool the week we were there so room never got overly warm. The fan running beside the window pulled in plenty of cool air in the evening and we were gone during the day. The daily "alarm clock" of garbage trucks and delivery trucks early in the morning is the only issue with relying on cool outside temps vs controlled air temps as the windows need to stay open. Correciton: window. One of the two was missing a screen. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. Overall had a bed and breakfast, quaint vibe which we wanted, at the center of a lot of things to do. And we had a fireplace, fridge, microwave, hair dryer, fan (no ceiling fan). Our friends were in a different part of the hotel in a basic room and weren't as happy but they went on a cheaper route. Staff was friendly, willing to help. If I were in Monterey again I would stay here again which I think is always a nice testement.

2/10 Poor

Be warned, there is no air conditioning and not all the windows have screens so opening them isn't much of an option. The furniture is dated and warn. The room smelled bad and was visibly dirty. Within 30 minutes of being there, we checked out and went to another hotel nearby. For the price and they way it was advertised you would expect something a little nicer, but it was run down, uncomfortable and there was no way we would stay there for the night.
