    The location was great, it was just 3 minutes walking distance from the Old Fisherman's Wharf. We had dinner at the hotel dining, Jack's Monterey. It was also great Californian cuisine, especially chowder and cioppino were our taste!

    Beautiful decor throughout. The lobby especially was very serene. Our room was comfortable, bathroom plenty big enough. And the lifts blew our minds!! What a great idea!!! We didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment on that but the location...
