"The place is clean and the rooms spacious, but the amenities are ackward: the fire pit for example required driving to, the fireplace didn't work in our room (they couldn't even fix it), the room heater controller was so unusual that it didn't just work like a thermostat but had some strange "Day/Night" setting. There were also large shipping containers onsite, maybe for a remodel, why knows, they took up the parking lot so that the balcony view was basically the roof of the containers. Overall not a good atmosphere."

The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"It is a historic building with lovely architectural features, high coved ceilings, cornices, carved wood hand rails, and leaded glass windows. It is 122 years old so it wasn't designed for modern tastes so be aware of that, floors and stairs creak. I found it was easier to access my room going up the original staircase than to use the elevator in the newer section and then wend my way back to the older section of the hotel. I definitely got my steps in! It's central location made it easy for me to walk everywhere I needed or wanted to go (I was there for a wedding!)"
