Perfect for going to the Theater!
We were there for 2 nights for a show at the theater across the street. if you are going to the Golden State Theater, this hotel is perfect. I will note that the water pressure (3rd floor) is very week and the toilet plugged once. lastly, the WiFi sucked! That said, it was during the December storm that knocked out power to 10's of thousands so this may hve had an effect.

This is an older hotel, but the location is perfect. So easy to get around Monterey and enjoy the area. My only gripe was that the lighting was inconvenient. One light on ceiling that was super bright and two wall sconces that were no where near the bed. I would stay here again though.

Wonderful historical hotel
We loved our stay. We chose a historical room and really loved it. The architecture is beautiful, we checked out the old elevator next to the check in desk (it doesn’t work obviously but was really neat). The location is amazing, close to everything. Definitely would stay again.

NOISY
This is a charming hotel but our room faced directly onto Alvarado and that was a PROBLEM. It was extremely loud at 7pm and I told the front desk we were not comfortable. We are 60, not 22 so we were miserable because their windows are vintage so there is no soundproofing. The noise from the bars and restaurants lasted until 2 am. I doubt we will go back because it is too noisy.
