Hotel Details

Location

Less than 1 km from Highway 1 and 5 km from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the inn is a convenient base for driving to the peninsula's attractions.
Fisherman's Wharf is 3 km away, and Carmel-By-The-Sea is under a 10-minute drive. The property sits across from Del Monte Shopping Center, offering a variety of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Cannery Row is a 20-minute walk, so a car is recommended for exploring the waterfront and downtown. On-site parking is available for a fee, making it easy to come and go by vehicle.

Dining

A complimentary grab-and-go breakfast of pastries and granola bars is served from 7am to 10am. Free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are available in the lobby.
There is no full restaurant or hot breakfast on site. Vending machines offer drinks and snacks for purchase. For a wider meal selection, the adjacent Del Monte Shopping Center has several restaurants within a short walk. The tap water has a noticeable taste, so bottled water is a practical alternative.

Wellness and Leisure

The year-round heated outdoor pool is open from 10am to 10pm. A small fitness centre with machines is also available.
The pool is heated to 27 °C and has a shallow end, though it is located near the road with limited screening. The fitness room contains cardio and weight machines but no free weights, mats, or towels. There is no spa or hot tub in the pool area, but some guest rooms have private jacuzzi tubs. The property's well-maintained gardens and outdoor seating areas provide pleasant spots to relax.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve parking in advance as spaces fill up by 9pm and the daily fee of $11.28 is not always disclosed upfront.

  • 02

    Request a room away from Munras Avenue if you are sensitive to traffic noise, as walls are thin.

  • 03

    Factor in the $100-$200 deposit hold (3-7 days for refund) and early/late check-in fees when budgeting.

  • 04

    Use the fitness room with the understanding that it has machines only-no free weights, mats, or towels.
