"My husband and I were mesmerized by the sound of the ocean, we slept with the patio doors open. We went August 20, 2026 and totally enjoyed our room. We lazily drank coffee in bed while waking up and the went down to have breakfast. We dined outside (the patio heaters were on). Excellent and then we walked to the Monterey Aquarium and enjoyed 20 foot aquarium window, sturgeon. jelly fish, very helpful docents."

8/10 Good
"The rooms are newly renovated and very clean. The only draw back is that they are still u set construction. I guess we were there during the time the seagulls are nesting and the smell was pretty strong. It was nice having breakfast every morning. There are fire pits on site and corn hole games. The pool was nice and clean."
