Very friendly and welcoming staff, great location. Only negatives were the rooms were a little loud and you could hear other guests quite clearly. Could also do with some new baby cots (pack and plays) as they’re a little worn and not great.

The staff was awesome- warm, friendly and helpful. The location is great and the room was very comfortable and spotless to boot. The gas fire pits and noon check out cap it off as a new favorite of mine. Will definitely stay there again on my next Monterey trip.
