Cozy and Spacious

The room we stayed in was incredibly spacious with modern decor and comfortable furnishings. The large balcony was perfect for enjoying the fresh air, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly, keeping us cool during our stay.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet was truly a treat! The omelette station had a variety of fresh ingredients to choose from, and we loved the bottomless mimosas. It was a good way to start our day.

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool area was wonderfully relaxing, and I appreciated the provided towels. Although it seemed small, it was peacefully uncrowded, allowing us to unwind and enjoy the sunny afternoon without interruption.

I had an incredible time at this hotel! The hospitality was top-notch, especially with Naiomi, who went out of her way to make our anniversary special. The room was clean and spacious, making our stay comfortable. However, I did notice some dust in certain areas, which was a minor downside. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic experience in Monterey.
