“There's a distinct Victorian charm at play here, one that seems to resonate particularly well with families and those traveling with pets. Its location is truly central, putting you steps away from Fisherman's Wharf and Monterey's dining scene. Though some aspects may show their age, the location and architecture create a memorable stay.”
