Dated hotel but in an excellent location for a reasonable cost with excellent service. So if you don’t want to spend a bundle and don’t mind dated accommodations to be close to Fisherman’s Wharf, this Lodge is for you.

I stayed here with my 5 year old daughter and it was absolutely perfect! It is so clean and quaint with beautiful foliage. It has a beautiful heated pool with a fountain and a hot tub with lots of seating and tables around the pool and a sitting area under trees and lights fire pits. The rooms don’t have AC but they do provide a fan. They also have a microwave and fridge. The absolute best part of all by far though was the location. I parked my car and never got back in the enter trip. It’s a short distance to old fisherman’s wharf and not much further to fisherman’s wharf and then if you follow the path along the water you’ll end up at cannery row! We also loved that the beach was right across the street and enjoyed kayaking there. And best of all my daughter loved that it was just across the street from Dennis the menace park, which is an absolute must if you’re traveling with kids. Lastly, the staff were all very friendly. We will definitely be staying here again for our future Monterey trips!

Liked that our room had a designated parking space right in front of our room and a patio with seating out the back slider door. Also liked that they had fire pit areas with outdoor patio furniture, but didn't like that we couldn't use the fire pits after 10pm. We were still able to sit out there, but it was cold.
