"The inn has a beautiful view of the ocean! Third floor was awesome! My only complaint was that parking was tight and a bit confusing and there was no AC in the room. When we arrived it was very stuffy. However it wasn’t a problem later in the night. If that stuff doesn’t bother you this is the right place!"

10/10 Excellent
"This was close to a beach. The property was well maintained, I felt that I should have stayed few more days and enjoy Monterey Bay. I was also lucky that on the day of my stay the weather was so nice that I could spend 3 hours for my morning walk. The room was neat, clean and well maintained. The office staff in the front office was very helpful and she provided a route map to navigate the town. There were few cookware in the unit I stayed, so if you plan buy some vegetables, eggs, oil and salt so that you can cook your breakfast. I did reach late in the evening so I couldn't enjoy the firepit and the hot pool. My overall experience was very good."
