Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and friendly service. The location was convenient, close to great shopping centers, but the dining options left much to be desired. The facilities were good, offering a nice experience overall.
The hotel is a gem, nestled in a quiet area close to the beach and local eateries. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, although the Wi-Fi had limited connectivity. The service was impeccable, from early check-in to check-out. The on-site dining offered delightful Indian dishes, but the facilities were slightly outdated.
The hotel is ideally situated, close to a variety of little stores and eateries, and just a stone's throw away from the beach. The service, from early check-in to check-out, was impeccable. However, the dining experience with Japanese dishes may not be everyone's favorite. The location is perfect for exploring all that Monterey has to offer.
