Disappointing
Pros:

Decent location for Cannery Row

Cons:

Poor breakfast - not sure why they bother offering it really. No plant based options. Poor noise isolation, you can hear every step the people in the room above you make. Parking costs $25 per night, it wasn’t obvious when I booked the hotel. Overall the value for money is not good.

One night at Monterey
Pros:

Location is convenient. Team was kind and helpful.

Cons:

Breakfast has limited options and due to the seagulls it is not possible to have it at the balcony. Unfortunately it is not well soundproofed and we could hear the neighbours from next room who woke us up a couple of times. Same with the guests on the floor above us, as they walked, the walls in our room were squeaking. Decoration was dark and dated. Carpet would need a refresh. I would not stay again.

Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

Hot tub areas that they promote for best views were disgusting and reeked of urine. And the price was not worth the stay.
