Für den Preis hätte ich außer der tollen Lage mehr erwartet
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage direkt am Strand

Cons:

Das Zimmerkonzept ist sehr seltsam. Verhältnismäßig kleine Zimmer und kein Stauraum für die Klamotten und kleines Bad. Blick durch das Fenster zwar direkt aufs Meer, aber auch auf die vorbeigehenden anderen Gäste, da dies direkt der Gang zu den Zimmern ist…es kann also jeder hineinschauen.

Equipement (belle salle de sport), parties communes très agréables, chambres très bien

Les chambres qui n'ont pas la vue mer ont vu sur une quatre voies un peu bruyante (mais c'est très supportable)

Pros:

Arabanızı otoparka koyduğunuz için ücret yansıtılıyor.
İnsan hayatı için en önemli olan bir bardak suyu bile size ücretsiz vermiyorlar Odaya su koymuşlar şişesi 9 $ restoranda bir şey yiyeyim derseniz gelin içeceklerinizi bir daha kaldırılmamak üzere masaya bırakılıyor dışarıda oturayım derseniz bir oturma yerini temiz görmek imkansız

Pros:

They offered complimentary drinks each day. The outdoor seating by the beach, where we could order food, was wonderful and unexpected. Parking was easy.

Cons:

Heater pool could have been heated just a bit more.

Good location, everything else needs work.
Pros:

The location, the ocean views, friendly bar staff, and a very good burger.

Cons:

Mold in the initial room, general dirtiness (scum on the showerhead, dust throughout), a shower with barely any water pressure, missing basic amenities (large towels, working smart TV), dirty fire pits outside, an unexplained mandatory resort fee that should've been included in the room price, overpriced breakfast, and unhelpful/unfriendly staff at check-in and check-out.

Perfect spot for a getaway in Monterey!
Pros:

The location was amazing. Our rooms were just steps down to the beach. You could enjoy a glass of wine and make s'mores at the firepits overlooking the ocean. Just a few minutes drive to Cannery Row. My new favorite hotel in Monterey!

Cons:

The pillows. The bed and bedding were fine, but the pillows were flat and hard. I recommend bringing your own from home.
