Nice modern hotel and very friendly staff. The walk to the main mile was very short, the beach is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk. We had the suite with 2 bedrooms and felt very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and also different every day. The pizza in the evening by the fire was also very tasty. We were very satisfied.

Super friendly and helpful reception staff. Hotel was comfortable and in an ideal position for visiting all the tourist attractions. Complimentary cheese and wine every evening was an unexpected pleasure. We brought in fish and chips in the evening and the staff provided us with crockery and cutlery so we could eat them in the lounge.

My partner and I often reminisce about this stay! Such great value for money. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, with an incredibly comfy bed. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, and the location was perfect — just outside the hustle and bustle with stunning views. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This aquarium resides where sardine factories once stood. Now, the site harbours an ocean’s worth of species. The main exhibit’s huge single-pane window is all that stands between you and four million litres of water. Watch schools of fish scuttle away from lurking sharks and lurching turtles. For fur-filled underwater acrobatics, swing by the sea otter zone at feeding time.

the aquarium is beautiful and the sea life is amazing but they don't limit the number of people in so you are packed in like sardines the whole time with people elbowing you. You have to push in and wait in lines to see every exhibit.

Took my 83 year old mother to the aquarium and we had a delightful day! Would strongly recommend arriving early! We had to make reservations before going and opted for the earliest entrance and were so happy we did because were able to get in quickly, get a wheel chair easily and had no problem manuevering around crowds. By early afternoon there were many people and we were done by 3 in the afternoon and were able to go eat down the street afterwards.

Friendly welcome from Sanjay at the front desk. We had a newly refurbished room which was spacious and beautifully decorated. Bathroom also spacious. Lots of plugs and USB ports. Excellent location - short stroll to Cannery Row and Monterey Bay Aquarium and right next to antique mall. Breakfast was simple (with many pre-made products) but adequate.
