“This spot, an 1830s adobe, delivers a boutique stay with uniquely decorated rooms and stands out for a daily wine and cheese hour. Positioned near downtown, the location makes it easy to explore Monterey's historic streets and attractions; the family-like atmosphere enhances the experience. I think the hotel's character and personalized approach make it a worthwhile choice.”
