A fireplace and air conditioning in all rooms allow guests to enjoy this B&B in any season. Each room offers cable TV with satellite and pay-per-view channels available. En suite bathrooms are offered with either bathtub or shower. Free toiletries are provided.

The accommodation was just what we were looking for. The hospitality and welcome was exceptional. We were sorry we weren’t able to stay for breakfast as we had to leave earlier than 9am but thank you so much for the lovely goody bag (lovely muffins) that we took with us along with some freshly brewed coffee in a travel cup. Everything at The Inn has been carefully thought out to make customers feel welcome.

    The location was right on the beach so you could see and hear the waves crashing on the shore. They gave us 2 complimentary drink vouchers to use at the bar.

    Exceptional location - cant have it better. Right on the beach and 10 mins from downtown Monterey. The breakfast area at the Waterfront restaurant on the 4th floor has phenomenal views and wonderful meals. This place is ideal for relaxation. And the price is just right!

    The staff here are fantastic. From the front desk to the bar staff, they are all brilliant and genuinely want to help. You are paying your room fee to stay literally right on the beach. It is beautiful, and definitely get a beach view room, as the room aren't designed particularly nicely and the inland view rooms are dark and dingy when in there.
