I was very pleased to have been given a room with a slight ocean view even though I did not book an ocean view room. I booked a courtyard view and my room had both. The staff was very friendly and the on site restaurant was delicious.

Nice oceanfront hotel
The room was very nice, great balcony view of the northern part of the Monterey Bay. The balcony was very narrow and barely fit the two small chairs and little table there, and was difficult to move around on. The birds perched on the buildings near our balcony were very loud all day and night, the gulls, but by closing the slider, and turning on the air unit, their noise was muffled. All in all, great staff and service. You must valet your car, there’s no other option for parking.
