When we arrived the place did not look like much from the outside and the location does not look very pretty either. However, when you enter you immediately get into the feel of a well taken care of small hotel and the location turned out to be very central and the parking in the back was convenient. Our room and... More

This was the third night of our drive north on the PCH, we are so glad this is where we spent the night. As soon a we walked in the door we were greated by one of the owners, she showed around the hotel and than to our room. We came down for the reception and visited with the other... More

First thing first. As i first entered the hotel, I was very much pleased by the ambiance. The service was good and staff was helpful. The rooms were lovely and comfy . We really enjoyed the free glass of wine and the hors d'oeuvres. The downside. Someone and I'm not accusing the management had stolen form my room, the flowing... More

Really liked this hotel! Welcomed warmly, decor throughout was gorgeous, it had a unique feel. Breakfast was LUSH - after being in California for 2 weeks prior to this, it was refreshing to have a regular sized but filling and yummy breakfast. The roof terrace was great with sea views and the walk to everything was 10 mins. Room we... More

To enjoy this place you should come with the right mind-set expecting difference rather than standard or luxury. I wish the owners did not advertise it as a boutique hotel because in my opinion, this is the problem with the contrasting reviews here. It is all about managing people's expectations. The average person will associate a hotel with the thought... More

I recently stayed at this hotel under a recent TRAVELZOO voucher. I was given a $25.00 credit toward the bar and food. The hotel also advertised a free complimentary wine or beer with appetizer. I found out (after the fact) that you had to choose. So, the $25.00 dollar voucher really was only worth $5.00 or $10.00 (my girlfriend and... More

The reviews for this hotel are across the board. It might not be for everyone, but it sure was for my husband and I! Pros: Quirky is the word I keep hearing and its true in a really good way. This isn't a cookie cutter place, thank goodness. Interestingly decorated common areas, while the rooms were pleasantly simple. And the... More

The service was great. I got the feeling of staying at a family run b&b. The rooms were very nice, but also very small. The room size does not matter much to me, but if you need space, do not stay here. The location was not good. The best part of staying in Monterey is walking to the shops and... More

The place is quirky and smells awful. The rooftop is fabulous. I came by way of a Travelzoo coupon. The advertisement on the Travelzoo mentioned a happy hour where guests get a free glass of wine or beer. My coupon came with a $25 credit. We had our 2 free glasses of wine and an appetizer. When we came home... More
