Everything was amazing! Perfect location, beautiful room and grounds, friendly staff! Highly recommend. We stayed in room 4. There was a coffee maker, blow dryer, and they provided us with 2 fire logs.
Nice owner, great breakfast comfortable and large rooms. Great location with parking option for a fee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was great, clean and had beautiful wood vaulted ceilings. I loved the historic charm but it had nice upgraded features in the bathroom. The glass french doors opened to let fresh air in. Felt very safe and secluded almost.
The hotel was quiet and comfortable. They also offered a complimentary log to enjoy in my room’s fireplace which made for a cozy evening. The hotel was only a few blocks from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf. Parking was a bit tight but manageable. I would happily stay here again!
Enjoyed our getaway. Very quaint historic property
