    After the elevator you had to take steps down, walk around and take other steps up to access the room.

    Clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds.

    Super expensive. Very basic.

    I am not sure I liked much. The hotel is indifferent. Very good location though and free parking. Super expensive though for what it offers.

    Multi level stairs even after elevator was used. Difficult to maneuver with luggage and walking up and down stairs. I'm healthy but older and my partner walks with a cane and was placed on the 3rd floor.

    Our room was close to a busy street and that there was not good insulation so you could hear everything. Also the windows did not have enough coverage for privacy.

    The bed was so comfortable that I slept really good however, our room was so close to a busy street that you could hear all the activity that was going on like the garbage truck picking up the trash which was pick up day at 3 am. The breakfast was also good. Love thelocation. We just walked going to the aquarium. Lots of restaurant closed by. The hotel were undergoing construction when we were there. It was nice of the hotel to informed us in advance of this information.

    Even with an elevator, we still had to walk up/down short flight to get to room, carrying luggage. Loud pipes in bathroom for showers, sinks. Curtains were stationary and didn't permit blocking lights outside.

    Room size was excellent, bed was comfortable.

    Not stroller friendly for my infant, at least on the 3rd floor where I was staying. The elevator took u up to the floor and then you have to go down about 6 feet of stairs to get to the room. There is also ongoing renovations.

    Good area with self parking and a good variety of breakfast items in the mornings. They have dove soap, shampoo and conditioner already in the bathrooms. Friendly staff.

    Breakfast isn’t great - leathery scrambled eggs and some equally leathery bacon. It isn’t ideal but it does the job - coffee not great, but we mostly grabbed fruit and juice to get us going for the day (it was similar to another holiday in express we stayed in, seems to be the standard poor breakfast across sites)

    Free handy parking on site was really helpful Rooms are basic but nicely furnished, pretty courtyard and beds very comfortable. Really nicely located next to all the best parts of Monterey. Receptionist friendly at check in too.

    The people in the room next to us were loud and slamming the door every little bit, it actually shook our bed one time when they did it. That's not the hotels fault tho. It was the inconsiderate people in the room.

    The location is perfect! Close to the beach, close to all the restaurants and shops. Breakfast was free. There's am amazing coffee shop across the street. Right next to the Antique mall. Free parking is a plus, other hotels on cannery row charge at least $25 for parking
